Need a new gaming headset as my old ones broke on me. I will probably end up doing an RMA(The fun of hutning down a reciept!) on these but I still had a couple issues with them that makes me want to get a new pair. This is my current headset : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826153002
The major issues I had with the headset (well other than the fact it BROKE on me) was:
1) The mic was garbage from the start. I was using my external speakers and a cheap $20 USB headset/mic and when I got this headset/mic they instantly complained about a major drop in voice quality. I told them to deal with it. When these broke I immedietely went back to my old set up and they were instantly amazed about how much crisper and clearer I was.
2) After about a 30 minutes or so they started to become very uncomfortable. After 2 hours they plain just started to hurt. (I have glasses)
3) The cord is like 20 feet long. The volume control switch is in the middle. Cords don't like me (they will always find a way to tangle me up)
_________________________________________________
So now I ask for you to suggest to me a good quality headset that meets these standards.1) Budget is around $100.
2) I play a lot of FPS so 5.1 surround sound is a must (this is where my old headset really shined)
3) Mic must be of good quality.
4) Must remain comfortable during extended use.
5) Must be durable.
I really don't care if it uses a Sound Card or USB. I also really don't care how geeky or dorky it looks.
