Hey

Nice article although i was hoping it would be a thorough testing of the headphones so it gives us a better idea of what to look for. (The mouse pad article comes to mind)

I love USB headsets thus I can switch easlily between my 5.1 speaker setup and headphones for ts and games. Without having to each time switch jacks to change from speakers to headphones.

Thanks for the feedback guys; I'll sharpen my pointy stick and make sure Derrick pokes his nose in this thread for some further article ideas

I duno about gaming headsets, but I own a pair of cheap Sennheiser HD201's I picked up in the UK for about R200 and they are AMAZING. The only brand of headset I will ever buy again. I'd rather just have a seperate detachable mic than change brands! :-D They have really blown me away!

Maybe a follow up article with testing some of the more popular headsets? Otherwise, yeah, it was a nice read.

I have a really impressive looking logitech set with a mic. Quite comfy looking. But after 10 minutes it feels like my ears have been cauliflowered

The only thing that puts me off is the price for these types of headsets
Guess awesomeness does not come cheap...
