Looking for a new headset.

Horsepower · 05-02-2004, 08:12 AM

Anyone have any recommendations for a really good headset >$100? I'm looking for possibly a fully closed earpiece headset that has excellent speaker sound, good mic sound, noise cancelation, is non usb, is well built and has mute/volume controls on a long cord. Since I'm kind of an audiophile and will also use the headphones for listening to music as well as gaming, the speaker sound has to be very clear, with crisp highs and decent bass response.

This is the type of headset I'm considering getting, though Koss doesn't have a model with the features I want.

Koss is a horrible company. Try these out, I hear they're excellent:

These are only $63.

thanks. they are USB only though

. i haven't heard any USB headsets that i've liked though.

i think i narrowed it down to the following 2 Sennheiser headsets. anyone have any comments about either of them?

I don't know about these specific Sennheiser, but I've heard nothing but good things about Sennheiser headphones from the home theater forums.

Sennheiser makes excellent headphones.. They are some of the more upscale headsets in the aviation marketplace. (They make headphones for use in helicopters and airplanes). I have had the chance to use them before and if these are anything like the ones they make for aviation uses. You should be happy.
