    Deciding On Mid-Range Headset Options


    I'm searching for an affordable, decent headset for universal use, from gaming and watching movies to speaking with friends. Unfortunately, I need some assistance on finding a headset that fits these criteria, and also advice on whether I should buy a headset with surround sound and/or a microphone.

    Currently, there are a few headsets which I am interested in:
    *(I have $7 in credit with NewEgg)

    Corsair Vengeance 1500 (7.1 surround) - $69.99* + $6.99 Shipping

    Rosewill rhts-8206 (5.1 surround) - $44.99* + $4.99 Shipping

    Logitech G430 Lightweight     (7.1 surround) - $59.99 + Free Express Shipping

    In addition to these concerns, is it better to buy a separate microphone? Should I purchase a headset without surround sound? Do headphones usually go on sale, to a greater extent, during Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Boxing Day?

    Any insight or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi there.

    Probably slightly over your mid range but a set of BEATS AUDIO cans would certainly work wonders -- also for all you "Fashionista's" out there they look good too.

    If you are going to use a microphone, either for Skype, gaming, etc definitely get a headset with a mic.

    I don't have any suggestions for what you want other than you need to really test them out before buying. What sounds good to one person may not be what someone else wants.

    I have a recording studio so I go for headphones for that application (Beats audio headphones are not for recording studios as they tend to emphasize bass).

    Try using the Intex IT-878 headphone with mic. And feel the difference. Waiting for your reply.

I have a almost broken headset, but the microphone still works fine, The microphone is connected on the wire right before the headset, Its not actually touching the headset itself. Would this microphone still work if the headset was cut off? Sorry but I can't manage to take a photo but

I've always used McAfee but everybody keeps telling me to stay away from it so I decided I'd follow their advice, but I kind of need a new AV. Couldn't get used to MSE, so I'm thinking either MBAM, Avira or Kaspersky. What do you guys think?
