Zerfass Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Curious what headsets you guys have? My old gave me horrible sores behind my earlobes so I had to stop using it about a month ago, but I got a new Sennhesier! My headset now is a Sennhesier Game Zero. $250ish headset, reminds me a lot of Bose aviation headsets in terms of comfortably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britchot Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I use my surround speakers but a single-ear USB headset for TS, so I'm afraid I'm not much of a help here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have a Logitech G930 Wireless Headset. It works great, but can be a bit fragile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J5_Hotlead Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I have a Creative Fatal1ty gaming headset. Got it for about $20. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DS4HTM/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=40962880315&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12429719920441125244&hvpone=24.95&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_6f5k2w4xub_b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lipfert Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Kameraden, I'm using an Alienware Tactx Headset, very comfortable (can wear it for hours no problems). S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRFC Hawkeye Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I also have a Sennheiser (I think it's a PC-350 or something like that). It has worked perfectly for years and is not deteriorating in any way. My personal preference is for the heavier, padded, over-the-ear type. I think a lot of what you get is a good quality microphone. If it works without having to boost the level and stays stable over time without having to adjust the voice activation level, that is a good thing to have. It seems like many cheaper types fall short in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maushake Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've just got an old $20-ish Logitech headset, 1/8" connectors rather than USB (looks like the 120 model, here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-980447-0914-PC-Headset-120/dp/B000FKNZR0) and it's great. Really good sound, and I gather from others that my voice is clear on the mic, so unless you're a real audiophile and want to spend more money, that's all you need! I always use push-to-talk rather than voice activation, and given the amount of extraneous noise which sometimes plagues our comms, I urge everyone to do the same. S!

Snaggle Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 +1 to Maus, I use a Steelseries gaming head set, the cheapest one. S! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaiber Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 An addendum to my post above - I went wireless so as not to be a target for my cats. My 17 pound house panther used to yank the headset off my head, usually while I was dogfighting. Zerfass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britchot Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's the thing with cats, he has learned. He knows that those activities get the owner's attention, which is what he wanted in the first place. Much like my middle child, negative attention is still attention.

VonWrecker Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yes nothing gets your attention faster than the sound of CLAWS in the back of your chair except maybe MG fire on your aircraft ... I made the mistake of giving my cat attention after she started this sooooo .. now it's a habit which if not answered runs the risk of claws in the fat of my elbow / upper arm ..... Guess it means I keep the treats close at hand ... J5_Hotlead and Klaiber 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxy Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 ~S~ I bought these on a whim cause they were cheap, and I like multi speakers in a headset for flying. Although "our" flight sims will support kinda of a multi speaker surround sound (their not authored that way, and neather is "surround sound" correct for sim's)...These things push a most realistic cockpit tone, feel, position, and low resonance. "I was absolutely amazed" The sub woofer vibration setting, lets you "feel" the aircraft, gear/stresses/impacts/engine etc. Their "clean", up to deafening volume. Frequency response is outstanding (I pull easily 20 to 30Hz out of these things! War/engines/bombs its all low frequency) Gui has good features, and lets you move the speakers around ( get those 110 engines/sounds where their suppose ta be) Encoder is pretty good, usb plug n play, don't have blow your head off to get these things to perform. But they can. For 'our' flight sim's, I love the tone, and open feel. They produce a tonality like Van Halen's first album. But I'm deaf anyway lol Good luck Mox http://www.rosewill.com/rosewill-rhts-8206-usb-connector-5-1-channel-vibrating-gaming-headset-1.html#product_tabs_Specifications Zerfass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maushake Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes nothing gets your attention faster than the sound of CLAWS in the back of your chair except maybe MG fire on your aircraft ... My cat has even been responsible for the latter on occasion ... when she jumps up in my lap, I sometimes let her just sit there if there's no action imminent, knowing that if I toss her back to the floor, she'll jump right back up. Usually she just sits quietly and nestles her face into the crook of my elbow, but there have been times when she's been unable to resist suddenly bumping her head against my joystick hand, sometimes pressing my thumb against the button which I have mapped for overwing guns (WWI) or cannon (WWII). So if you're flying on my wing and I suddenly start firing at nothing, without even calling out that I've seen a bandit, that may well be the reason.

Zerfass Posted January 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Luckily my cat just kinda ignores me, although hes probably having mild PTSD as hes nearly, I mean NEARLY died 5 times. Kidney stones, coyotes, rabid cats, all fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
