SalemAdams Wobbit Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Get the wireless one. I've had mine for quite a while, and the replacement parts (Battery, charging station, and USB adapter) are cheap ($10-15)./>http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/headsets/wireless-gaming-headset-g930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Reisman Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The g35 has performed admirably for me for over a year, and I throw it around when i get pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krow Ames Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 My G35 sounds amazing and it has also lasted me well over a year. Best headset I've ever had. 7.1 surround sound. Can't beat that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron Gloom Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) What sound card do you have, if any?Different headphones have different impedences, meaning that you need amplifiers to power them. Sometimes sound cards aren't powerful enough for certain headsets, which may make them sound quieter/more muddled when in reality it isn't the headset's fault.Most headsets also use simulated surround sound. The G35 and nearly every other headset anyone will ever link in this thread will be simulated surround sound, hence why they include those little USB sound cards with them. Potentially if you already have a sound card you can connect ANY headset and activate surround sound. This would enable you to buy less gimmicky and more powerful headphones. The Razer Tiamat and the Turtle Beach Ear Force Z6As are both real surround sound. They have multiple drivers on each side. Even that can be somewhat gimmicky though, so I don't think that should be the main selling.Anyway, keeping all this mind and not knowing what sound card you have, I'd suggest one of these:1. Logitech G9302. Razer Tiamat 7.13. Turtle Beach Ear Force Z6A4. Any other headset that meets what you're looking for, because I don't think in the end there will be too too great of a difference and you should be happy with what you get. I personally would really like the G930 though, and it isn't priced too badly.Actually, ideally I'd like a good pair of headphones with a high quality soundcard with built-in headphone amplifier and support for surround sound and other technologies and a stand-alone high quality microphone.

Krow Ames Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 G930 is the wireless G35. If you want to buy batteries, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to buy batteries, go for it.The battery replacement kit for the G930, if you order it from Logitech, is $15. I have yet to order it, and I have had this for about six months.

Deadmon Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 GONNA TRY THE TIAMAT. WENT 6 DOLLARS OVER MY LIMIT (Shipping + Taxes), BUT Ffff IT.PLZ TELL ME HOW IT IS. Ive wanted it for a while but its stupid expensive. I have the razer carcharias and its boss. I am super "break my headset" prone and have yet to do any damage to it, while still tripping over, dropping, yanking on it. ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awanken Wasp Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I bought one of those Fata1ity thingamagics.. I broke it within 5 months :c It was held together with ductape until i pulled out an old logitech standalone microphone and my Koss Portapros on computer :c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron Gloom Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Koss portapros are pretty sexy. They're inexpensive and their frequency response is great. Their impedence is higher than most headphones however, so they can be quieter than most headphones for some people (for the reasons I listed in my first post).

Heavy666 Bolden Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) I am a major advocate of Logitech USB Headset H390, Reason being I've had one of these that I bought 3 years ago, I used to have my case on my floor and my USB hooked in and I've tripped over it several times, and im a big boy! lol, I ripped the usb ports out the front of my computer case, the headset still works flawlessly to this day, my room mate uses it almost daily. I bought a second one just to have a new one, doesn't give me eargasms, but it does a good job holding it's own, I've had several sets of earphones, all of them have failed except this particular brand and model.Im not really big on budget headphones, I usually like to have eargasm headphones but these are great cause they've outlasted every other pair I've bought.http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-ClearChat-Comfort-Headset-Black/dp/B000UXZQ42/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1341757498&sr=8-2&keywords=logitech+usb+headset Edited July 8, 2012 by Heavy666 Bolden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krow Ames Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 G35 doesn't work with Op: Flashpoint Red River. But who gives a Ffff because it works with ARMA. G930, somehow, does work with Red River. Weird as Ffff, but nobody could ever figure out why. It's the only game I've ran in to where my headset doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acheron Gloom Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Received the headset - sound quality is subpar. RMA'ing.Does it seem like an issue with the headset as a whole, or does it seem like just the one you got has manufacturing flaws? Also, just making sure you plugged in all 5 analog audio cables + the USB cable. The USB is for power, the 5 analogs are for data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Ansar Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826265065I use this headset. $36 and change with shipping from Newegg, thing sounds like a friggin' champ. It's a little snug around my head and the plastic it's made of feels a bit "Crisp", but overall its quality isn't half-bad for the price.I used a Razer Carcharias before that. Lasted me 2 years before the left earpiece fizzled out and the cord around the volume control began to fray. Was only $80 at Best Buy too.

Larry Furlough Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) In the 16 years I've been alive I've yet to actually own a desktop. All of my computers have been souped up gaming laptops, purely because of transportation and me bouncing between houses.I'm still keeping my current one, but I also want to have something at home that I can use for my main computer and update throughout the years.This thread is me asking for ideas, I suppose. I'm thinking about either going with building my own from scratch, by ordering a cheap tower and swapping out parts, or just buying one pre-made. I'm wanting to do the first one, because I have a semi-tight budget to work with.That all being said, some basic requirements would be the ability to have more than one screen (which would be gfx dependent), and a fairly modern CPU (ie, at least four cores [hyperthreading or an equivalent technology would be great here]).Other than that, I'm open to suggestions on parts.

Larry Furlough Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'll go for 600 as base. I could probably do 700 though. I don't really aim at buying everything at once, either. Just swap out as I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
