Anybody have any recc's on a nice gaming headset? I am almost exclusively a Flight Sim'er and Wings of Prey combat flight sim guy, but also am certainly planning on getting 'Obducted' when it comes available mid June. 'Obducted' is Cyan's new release. I really loved Myst and Riven and Cyan's marketing collateral really looks nice on this. I have had my eye on this headset Amazon.com: Rosewill RHTS-8206 USB 5.1-Channel Vibration Gaming Headset (RHTS-8206): Computers & Accessories as I am very intrigued with the vibration aspect (especially being a flight sim'er).

Any thoughts or input? Thanks!

I use a pair of Corsair Void headphones. They're great, but they don't have vibration in them. But the sound is fantastic and you can wear them for hours.

Thanks everybody for the feedback. I think I'll try out the Rosewill's. There are only about $60 and the vibration thing intrigues me.

Buy Asus Vulcan Pro or Strix Pro or if you can afford a little more than Strix DSP Pro. Razer Kraken Pro are also very famous for gaming!

I went with the Rosewill RHTS-8206 USB 5.1-Channel Vibration Gaming Headset. Totally awesome and although it takes a little getting used to, I really dig the vibrating aspect.
Thanks for all the feedback!!
