I have been looking today, and I have found some that look okay. However I have no idea what ones are better, and they are all (basically) the same price.
I am very interested in the music quality, I will use them just as much for that as gaming.
I found
Logitech G930 which are wireless.
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Logitech-G930-71-Surround-Sound-Wireless-Gaming-Headset/8607882/These seem to get pretty good reviews, and are on random sites top 10 list. Also not having a cord is nice, I broke my other ones due to cord problems. However I am under the impression wireless is not as good as wired, if that is the case is it notable?
Next I found
SteelSeries Siberia V2.
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/SteelSeries-Siberia-V2-Headset-Anniversary-Edition-BlackGold-Plated/19267924/Staydead, you recommended these and they pop up on lots of top ten lists. They also look sexy. (BUT my brother says they aren't powered? Is this true?! That is pretty gooseberry fool if they aren't)
However are they as good, or better than a
SteelSeries 7H Headset?
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/SteelSeries-7H-Headset/19267935/These are more expensive and according to this site
http://gaming-headsets-review.toptenreviews.com/ they are better than the V2. Are they?
These
Turtle Beach Z6A's also look okay according to reviews.
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/PC-Games/Turtle-Beach-Z6A-Pro-Gaming-Headset/18385033/Something about good sound quality which is great. However they sound breakable, which isn't a good thing if you are me. But according to that site, these are the second best. This site says you need a good sound card
http://pcworld.co.nz/pcworld/pcw.nsf/reviews/turtle-beach-ear-force-z6a not sure if I have that. Especially on my laptop.
And these
Tritton AX720 are more pricey.
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Xbox-360/Tritton-AX720-Dolby-Headphone-Surround-Sound-PC-PS3-X360/10184054/However I don't know much about them, my old cheaper Trittons broke.
Also these
http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/Xbox-360/Tritton-GoW-Dolby-71-Surround-Sound-Headset-for-Xbox-360/18267597/ are very cheap but have a strawberry floating high RRP.
But I really know nothing about these sorts of things, I have no idea what the technical specs mean. I like the wireless ones, but would rather just go for wired if there is a (considerable) difference in quality. I also don't care how they look, I just want them to be comfy and have good sound quality. Any advice chaps?
