Which headsets for gaming..

[ViciousClone]

Someone on Carbonite is selling a HyperX Cloud II for R900.

It's the best gaming headset you'll get, otherwise just get the Cloud Core.

Saw it but it's quite used :/

I dunno, I have a H1500 and my mic seems fine? I haven't heard any complaints yet, besides the fact that I tend to mumble every now and then

I also saw a H1500 (RMA'd) on Carb for R1k: http://carbonite.co.za/showthread.php?t=163038

I have one that I bought second-hand and I am happy with it. The headband hurts me after about three or so hours but I just adjust it a bit forward or backward on my skull at times.

The sound quality is great, although the headset is very loud so I used a program called EqualizerAPO to reduce the gain on the output. Before I did that, on 6% volume it was loud to the point that my ears were hurting. Now I have them at 14% with a fair amount of gain removed, which gives me more granular control over the volume.

If you have concerns about the mic quality, you are welcome to add me on TS for a test run

I actually believe the Cloud Core and Cloud II share the same headphone the Cloud II just has better earpads, mic and it comes with accessories.

The Core has a standard mic and the Cloud II has a noise cancelling mic.

For a brand new one it's a steal. The last headset I bought was a CM Storm Ceres 400 for little over R400 and I tjanked when I saw what the prices were like lately.

sorry for thread Necro, but i just ordered the Philips SHP 9500 + V-Moda from Amazon I spent a lot of time researching and it boiled down to this, versus the Superlux HD668. But in the end, despite costing more, the "fully open" nature of the Philips tipped the balance. I need something that at least gives me a fighting chance of hearing the tsotsi's trying to break in.
