Headsets

[Viole]

You guys know of any good headsets I could use for gaming? The Siberia V2 with built-in sound card looked nice, but I'm no expert on hardware. I guess the price range is ~$200.

Go with a good pair of headphones instead, and get either a desk mic or clip-on mic.

Much better quality that way.

I like having it together though

but it breaks easily.

99 cents store. That's how I got mine. They don't break down by itself. They do if you break a wire or something, but it's fine enough.

[Viole]

but any suggestions on which one?

Pro-tip: Before even plugging your new headset in, get electrical tape and wrap it around where the wires would connect to a circuit or plug a bunch of times because that's where it breaks 90% of the time

For only gaming you should get a pair of Sennheiser 5xx. Fucking amazing comfort.

You can also get a mic called the antlion modmic and you place it on the side of the headphone and then it acts just like a headset

I don't know about you guys, but my cheap microsoft headphone set hasn't broken or anything.

This thing sounds great, records great, and can take some abuse (accidentally tested).
And is a good price too.

So prejudice based on looks

Not a headset expert.
Had 3 headsets so far.
Siberias are probably my favorite at the moment.

I dont really recommend anything else because "gaming" headsets cannot nearly compare to dedicated headphones.
But you only want a headset, go for the Siberia V2s.

I kind of changed my mind 

Do you guys think this is a good combo?
