Hey Y'all-
I've recently started online multi-player gaming, and loving it. And while my desktop stereo speakers are good enough for most things, I know I'm wanting a good quality, cost-effective headset (earphones plus microphone).
The problem is, there are 10,000 to choose from. I've looked at a few, and can't decide if multi-driver earphones are really worth the $$, or if a similarly priced "regular" headset would be just as good. My comparisons seem too show that, unless I spend a ton of money on a multi-driver headset, they're not worth the expense.
I'm looking specifically at 3 models-
Turtle Beach HPA(1 or 2)
Creative Labs Fatal1ty (headset)
Icemat Black Siberia
So, to all the tech savvy adults here- what I'd like to ask is this:
Do you have an opinion on these headsets?
If you use headset for FPS, what do YOU use?
Are multi-driver (usually termed "directional") units worth the extra money?
Thank you!
P.S. I said "adults" because I'm pretty sure my needs and experience won't match too well with some 14 year old kid who has only owned one set of headphones. No offense intended.
