Recommend me a headset. My old one is pretty shot. I don't want to spend a lot of money. I just want to not have to shout to be heard during Payday.

I've got a pair of these I enjoy immensely, they've got a cushion on the top band, and huge velvety pillows around your ears, so you can wear them forever. The sound quality is also really good, and Ill leave the critique of Mic Transmit Quality to you. [move][/move] |

I would just recommend a Desktop mic and a nice pair of headphones. Gaming headsets can be really overpriced for their quality.

I go into details as to what frequencies a headset will handle, how it handles bass, and the form factor also matters, for instance, in-ear doesn't have to handle as wide a range of bass frequencies because the vibrations it can trigger in your ear lobes can create an increased bass anyway. I stick to razer hardware for numerous reasons, last I checked on side by side comparisons to certain other "high end" headphones you might find in retail store (beats), Razer's audio frequencies that it can handle in its headsets actually are a wider range than that, and cost significantly less. Combine them with high quality audio software that can emulate surround or other powerful audio software (such as the THX software, Razer Surround, or even Creative audio's software) they provide a great audio experience, and a decent microphone. And they're comfy. So shop around, and dig as deep as you possibly can, if a manufacturer doesn't have details on the audio frequency ranges of their hardware, don't even take a second glance. |

Oh, but they have a tolerance of ±10dB? Garbage. |

if your headphones still work fine:
http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Zm-Mic1-Sen...B00029MTMQ Attaches on the wire of your existing headset so it doesn't take up desk space, inexpensive and it's what I am currently using. Geoff: i've never had a sammich like this Geoff: its so good Dr. Commish: that recipe is yours forever now, keep it close and impress the lady of your dreams Geoff: YOU GODDIT DOCTAH JONES |

Buy headphones, use a separate mic. Save money, gain sound quality.
