recommend a wireless gaming headset
 

gonna treat myself this Christmas and get a wireless headset, however i have no clue whats out there.

what i need:
NOT a set of cans. i don't want my ears covered. too hot.
a mic. obviously.
battery powered. prefer usb or docking station.
lightweight
budget, around $100-$150
OS: Windows

what are your choices?

I got the Logitech G930 for my Comp, and I absolutely love them.. 7.1 and an option to replace the batteries if they ever die... But they cover the ears.

I also have the F430 for my consoles which are great for me but nothing special.

G930 for PC
excellent surround effects
very comfortable
good button layouts
great battery life..and can extended cord when you charge so you can still play (battery pack is replaceble)
great range
build quality mediocre (I see lots of owners breaking their's...I take good care of my stuff so that never happens)
very meh when listening to music
PC only
the quirks: when I plug into USB sometimes it takes a good 20 seconds to get recognized (could just be my USB drivers) and sound is minimal to start with occasionally..have to turn up the dial by one notch so it recognize it's last volume position

Sony Pulse Wireless Stereo Headset for PS3
good for listening to music..can connect to your mp3/ipod/tablet
works with your PC (althogh you dont have rumble/surround)
excellent build quality
surround effects are not as good as the Dolby found in G930
mic is hidden (so you can use this outside of your house without looking like a tool)
rumbling is a bit gimmicky IMO
after 2 hours of wear it's not comfortable if you wear glasses
battery life only good for 6 hrs

both of these are closed ears though...I have a unused open-ear gaming headset with external amp I'm willing to part with..not wireless though...PM if interested

i am thinking of getting the g930. do they go on sale regularly?

The G930 is on Dell's Daily Deal for $110:

Not sure if that's a good deal. NCIX has it on sale for 135 from 180, right now, to compare.

G930 is also on sale for $109.99 at bestbuy till January 10

only thing i find with a wireless headset, they're alot heavier than corded ones

i've had icemat siberas for about 5 years now, and probably the best pair i've ever owned (corded though =[ )

bluetooth? try some from dx...its 20-30 bux for some nice ones...

I ended up getting the Sony PS3 Pulse headset. Pricematched with Amazon.ca for $114 and had a $25 gift card to use. not BT but wireless.

however it occasionally interferes with my Wifi. very comfy and looks good. Also has a vibration function that actually rattles your head during explosions or bass heavy music.

also has removable 3.5mm cable so i can use with my phone too. the usb dongle has an input for other sources like a tv as well.

the Logitech G930 was my next choice, but after reading horrible reviews of its construction i went with the Sony.

Iv never read one poor review on the g930.. Just that they are not the best for music. I own a set, and I find the fit, construction, and comfort top notch.

seen more than a few of these reviews


on another note, my Sony's have a hidden mic and no annoying sick in my face. I can wear them outside and not feel like a reh-tard.

wireless and gaming should never be used in the same sentence

^ i like the convenience...and the surround effects work well for spatial orientation for me in FPS games. Personally I think attaching a clip-on mic to your audiophile grade headphones is kinda silly...not to mention you need to invest in a sound card as well

how's the bass with that headset?

i just bought the g930 and i wished there was more bass to it

well they are nothing like my Monster Lil Jamz sadly. its a different experience than with IEM's.

they seem almost too loud. which is why i would have preferred open ear cans.

i find i ended up turning off the pulse option as it was more annoying than anything especially when everything is booming in a game.

also my ears get really warm. may be good for winter outdoors. however i have some Senheiser HD 201s already.

note, when plugged into the 3.5mm cable the cans become passive, IE: not running on battery. make sure your headphone source has the juice to run em.

my headset is definitely not worth $170. good thing i was able to get it for $83 instead

the build quality is okay..

surround sound is great, but not enough bass for my liking

listening to music was alright.. movies was okay too

it only excels in gaming in my opinion, everything else was mediocre

LINK!

damn where was g930 for $83?
yeah I only use it for gaming...it's meh for everything else.

i know someone who works at best buy and got it with their staff discount

i am thinking of selling my g930 if anyones interested. i literally used it for two gaming sessions.. i am not where near as into games as i used to so i feel like i can give it up

biggest impulse buy of 2012 lol. pm me if your interested

I'm looking to get a wireless headset that I'll be hooking up to my TV to use with the PS3 and 360 for late night gaming sessions.

Is it as simple as plugging it into the audio out of the tv? I will be about 10 feet away from the TV.
