Help with headset decision

I am looking to purchase a new headset tonight, but I am not able to spend over $100. I keep reading up on certain ones. I am avoiding Logitech on this one, as I have had my headset a total of maybe 5 months and I don't use it religiously, so I don't know why it's shorted out. Never dropped or wet or thrown around so ... clueless on that one. It works but every 5 minutes I have to adjust the mic position and that is getting annoying.

I also read that "USB" connectors doesn't bring you the best sound. Any input on this?

I use turtle beach as my primary headset and love it. good sound and voice seems clear when I speak I do have a Logitech headset I use as well once and awhile but there just ok.. no problems with mine had it for awhile. u prob just got the headset made at 430 on a Friday and got slapped together last minute by some guy wanting to get off work and get to his beer lol

Probably so!! That's what you do every day!!


I was looking @ Turtle Beach when I read this .... freaky!


You have the blue ones or the green ones? I am looking at the green ones with the tree on the side. I was thinking of going wireless, as I am moving about during the game sometimes.

Mine are black the z2 earforce I think which ever one u chose u can't go wrong there a really good headset

Going to order them tomorrow. Thanks Gunny!

Boy, lets not all jump up and speak at once! lol. I am looking @ either USB or 3.5 mm jack plug. Don't know which is better. People say USB makes the headset get hot and the sound quality is lower. I have a USB connection now and it only lasted 4 months.

I have USB and Bluetooth wireless headsets both by Logitech and the USB definitely sounds better.

I have never noticed the headset getting hot

You got it all wrong, Mamba!

Only USB "MADE IN NIGERIA" get SO hot to the point of melting the usb ports,( and btw your brains too...LOL)

GOTCHA NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFL

I ordered the Turtle Beach X11

Thanks, Valdez. I have a Logitech Clear Chat USB...lasted about 4 or 5 months. However long I been playing this game. But my earbuds sound amazing ... crystal clear! But the mic is a plastic piece and it slides. If I point it up, it works fine. When it falls people can't hear me. Gets annoying when I'm in a good battle and people sometimes don't answer me and I exit the game.
