Sennheiser Gaming Headset

The Sennheiser PC 350 Collapsible Gaming Headset is circumaural, which means that they don’t actually sit on your ears or in them. They surround your ears with the only pressure is on your head; your ears remain out of contact with anything.

Thus the ear cups, which are of large size, are designed for comfortable wearing during gaming sessions for long sessions. There is a hinge/link/pivot that connects the ear cups to the headband which allows for additional customization of comfort.

With the closed headset design there is no overheating or sweating even after 4 hours of use. Outside noise, about 80%, is eliminated for the most part by the closed design.

High intelligibility is achieved through the large size microphone, which also allows volume to be controlled through its mute function.

The headset technology adds a new dimension of reality to gaming

by providing the most accurate sound quality available.  In fact its precision makes you feel that you are in the game, literally.

The unit can be easily transported as it is collapsible.  The headset is 8x5x9 inches and weighs 1.6 pounds.

Overall, the sound quality lives up to the Sennheiser reputation for quality.

“I’ve owned a few headsets in the past 10 years, including Logitech, Altec Lansing, Sony (without a microphone) and a lower model Sennheiser about 5 years ago. I am an avid computer gamer and often go late into the night at stretches of 8 hours at a time or more. And this is the best headset I’ve ever used in almost everyway.”

“The microphone quality, while it is hard for me to tell myself, I’ve been told it’s excellent, although I had to turn my gain up a bit on my microphone, because apparently its a bit quieter because of the filter on it.  My only con with this set of headphones is the cord I think could be a bit longer, but that’s not a big deal, for me anyways. Also, I think a carrying bag might be nice to go with these headphones. ”

“So, between the expense of the headset itself, the added expense for a headphone amplifier and the additional possible need to modify the design, I decided it just wasn’t worth it.”

Tritton TRI AX720 Digital Gaming Headset

Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset

The Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 key features include no wires to limit you and detailed surround sound so that you have the advantage over your opponents because you can hear them before they can hear you.

At your fingertips are chat client, mute controls and voice morphing.

Its dimensions are 9.8x9x4.3 inches and weighs 2.2 pounds.

Its main features include:

* A foam headband, with memory, for a snug fit that reduces pressure on the head thus allowing hours of continuous use.

* 7.1 immersive Dolby surround sound giving you positional audio thus allowing you to hear opponents and locate where their shots are coming from.

* A microphone that reduces distracting background noise, where a red mute light lets you know when you mic is off, and auto mutes when you rotate it out of the way.

* A single USB connection allows the headset to be recharged and powers the wireless adapter.

* Voice morphing, one-touch chat client command and on-ear customization is made possible by three programmable G-keys

* Full-spectrum sound is delivered by an uncompressed 48 kHz audio stream.

* A lag-free gaming-grade wireless performance connection with a 40 foot range through the USB adapter. (There is a full-speed USB recharging base.)

“This is a very well made product guys, I get no sense that, if treated properly (take your game rage out on something that costs a bit less, children) it will ever break on me.”

“One thing I don’t like, the mic level resets itself every time I unplug the headset (rather, the usb dongle) then plug it back up. It remembers every other setting, just not mic gain. I’ve solved this by setting one of the G keys to reduce mic gain, so if I ever launch a game and accidentally leave it set too high, I can easily fix it on the fly.”

“Range: 40′ seems a fair estimate of range vs the advertised range of other products. So I get a little more range than bluetooth, and arguably half what I get from, say, Sennheiser RF Headphones (100′ “open air” advertised).”

“The Megalodon’s are by far the most comfortable computer headphones I’ve worn. The headband padding is cushy and keeps the headset from feeling too heavy on your noggin. The earcups, which go around your ears, are very soft and padded well.”

“The only issue though is to check and make sure that your movies and games can output 7.1 surround sound. If not, some sounds will be a little distorted and muffled. In these cases you are supposed to use 2.1 mode.”

“If you are running the 64 bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7 please do not waste your money on this product. There is a known issue with the audio and/or microphone cutting out at random times.”

Tritton TRI AX720 Digital Gaming Headset

Sharkoon Gaming Headset

The Sharkoon X-Tatic True 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound Gaming Headset has a plush headband and soft ear pieces thus allowing comfort for long sessions.  The X-Tactic digital gaming headsets immerses you into the Dolby Digital environment at a reasonable cost.

This Dolby certified X-Tatic Digital headset features a total of eight speakers, four per earpiece, built into the cable. The included Sound Control Unit allows you to connect to the optical output of popular games consoles (Xbox 360, PS3), a DVD player, or other HiFi device.  The chat functions of of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 are supported.

The Sound Control Unit supports a second X-Tatic headset and outputs analog Dolby ProLogic and Dolby Digital signals. A volume adjuster is attached to the headset cord.

Each speaker’s sound volume can be adjusted individually. This means that you can adjust the sound volume behind you or accentuate sound effects.  You can switch off your own voice and you can adjust the voice volume from other people independently from game volume.  Situational awareness is thus enhanced.

“Overall, this headset definitely meets my expectations. It looks good and has some surprisingly cool features. Maybe if they could fix the amount of wires, but I guess that what it takes to work on the pc, 360, and ps3.”

“The mess of cables isn’t really an issue considering I already have a mess of cables on my desk where I have a PC, PS3 and Xbox360. If you are worried about the mess of cables, you might consider purchasing a longer optical cable as the supplied one is quite short (approx 2 feet).”

“I feel like a stereo headset would be only a hint behind the Xtatic in performance, as the surround sound in the Xtatic is not very great. It does have a somewhat surround feel to it, but not what I had hoped for.”
