New headset advice

[MetalLobster]

It's only $60 now and I think it's worth it for that price (unless you were talking about something diff.

*Asian accent* Only $60?! Too much money!

I used to have two headsets, a Razer and Sony, and both are shitting the bed somewhere while I use my twenty dollar in-ear buds w/ mic for games. Lesson learned, more money != better quality.

Don't get the SteelSeries Siberia V2. I own a pair, and the right cup's sound sometimes cuts off. I don't usually use the right side though because I have to hear my parents call me from upstairs (I'm in the basement)

I wanna try to save for a new headset, but my parents won't let me

Don't get a lifechat headset, I've gotten two so far and I can prove that they're ****.

First one broke after a few months resulting in my microphone emitting static instead of audio, probably had to do with the wires so I bought another.

Second one broke after a month resulting in my microphone emitting static instead of audio, and this time my left headphone completely shut off. I'm still using it to this day, it really sucks.

But I have to say, they were both around 40 dollars each which is probably why the quality is so crap.

I thought I was the only one with problems on their right side.
I use Turtlebeach X12s and when adjusting the volume if I leave the slider in a certain place i get no sound in my right side. So I have to fiddle with it for a bit before i hear from both sides again...

Mayflower Electronics is now available at NCIX. They also manufacture the ObjectiveDAC open hardware as I mentioned in a previous post but from JD Labs. It's all apples to apples.
