good headset under 40$ CAN

(1/1)

the_tard:
Everyone keeps telling me I should get a headset and I think it's a pretty good idea but I'm too lazy to look around so I was hoping someone could recommend me one.

dennis:
CDN40 is about USD30, right?

That's an awkward price point for headsets, as they tend to go up to about $20, where the cheapies end, and then jump to $40 where the high-end ones begin.

I'm assuming that by headset, you mean headphones and a mic.

This is a good one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106935

Sennheiser is a good brand, though this is about as cheap as they get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826106347

The problem is that a lot of the cheaper headsets save their money in the microphone. Good quality headphones can be had for $25-30, so the headsets that cost in the $30 range have fine headphones, but crappy mics and booms. Crappy mics will pick up breath noise, and crappy booms start falling out of position after a couple of weeks.

Also, unless you have a pretty powerful system, you want to stay away from the headsets that use USB, they eat up CPU time and require drivers.

I didn't realise they put the dollar sign behind the digit in Canadia.

the_tard:
Of course they do  :roll: where are you from  :-P

Nutsaur:
I'm from New Zealand eh. It's difficult to drive on the roads due to the sheep blocking our every path.
