Re: Good Gaming Headset + question
There are a few threads on these topics, I'll tell you what I have after doing a ton of research
USB Sound Processor:
Amazon.com: NuForce Icon uDAC-2 (Silver) Headphone Amp and USB DAC (24bit/96kHz): Electronics
Gaming Headset:
Amazon.com: ASTRO Gaming A40 Audio System (Black): Electronics
That said, do a search on the site and I'm sure you're going to have more options, all I can say is that the sound quality you get from the uDAC-2 is so incredibly better than anything ANY laptop has to offer... it's that much better, pair that up with the Astro A40 and you got yourself Top Notch sound, sure it's expensive, but quality isn't cheap, probably why you bought an M18x to begin with

Re: Good Gaming Headset + question
I just received the astro a40 wireless system yesterday and for a gaming headset it is outstanding. I use it with my Xbox but it can be used with pc aswell. I was using the turtle beach px5 and these a40s are just so much nicer, comfort wise and sound wise.

Re: Good Gaming Headset + question
I STRONGLY recommend you get the G35 Logitech headset. I love it and most of the people who buy it even buy another one after theirs breaks after 2 years.

Re: Good Gaming Headset + question
A price range that you are willing to spend and a purpose for what you would be using your headset for would be appreciated. Depending on how much you are willing to spend and whether you want an audio set up simply for games vs. music/movies will change what we might recommend.

Re: Good Gaming Headset + question
Well, as M18X owner I should say ''Price doesnt matter'' but I think that 100 euro would be cool
Ok - Thanks for answers.
I made choose and I decided to buy G35.Last edited by Patryks; 9th March 2012 at 03:00 AM.

Re: Good Gaming Headset + question
Bowers and Wilkins C5s are great for gaming.. gives you a really high-fi experience.. highly recommend them.

If you need over the ear headphones, their P5's are tough to beat.
