You can get a Steelseries 4H if its in ur budget.. RM 190 only..

AKG, Triton, Cyborg/Saitek.

order online la Triton.. ebay a lot nowadays ma..

if u wanna look for good gaming headphones can come to my shop la.. we have plantronics gamecom and triton in store also..

Padang Kerbau.. CHeck PM..

Triton need wait new stock come.. now all left plantronics, razer, ss and roccat nia.. some akg and audio tech la..

Anyone using plantronics gamecom series>?

Psyko 5.1 i tried it before.. most of my gamers wont like it.. they prefer 7G instead.. Tritton 5.1 havent try before yt..

I myself using it.. using both their speakers and headset now..

The headset is quite impressive.. have to install CD driver for the software tho.. The sound is quite decent, not the best out there but confirm the most comfy..

Im using both HS1 and 7H USB now but for gaming i will still go for a 7H USB.. easy setup great sound.. but 7H for listening some music nt tat nice..

You should have tried the HS1.. its one great headset, altho its Corsair 1st time coming out with the headset but the comfort and sound is really good.. HS1 may look simple and china like but the sound is . If you're seeking for comfort, i can really tell u the corsair 1 is the most comfortable headset i used so far.. Better than sennheiser, audio technica, and so on..

Local disti bring ins HS1 only.. the HS1A nt here yt..

All these headset using USB do it wont be needing your X-Fi card anymore.. Just plug and play using USB.. you X-Fi you can use for your speakers..

If you wna to use it with your sound card can get a HS1A which doesnt use a USB but using a normal 3.5mm Jack..

Actually for gaming you dont even need a USB dac coz actually gaming sound are very limited.. not like audiophile.. So that why people dont bother so much with usb dac which will be a hassle if you go gaming competition you have to bring so many stuff..

The standard USB bundled are quite good and decent enough for gaming. Of coz if audio listening and movies, need better SC and headsets/speakers//

For onboard sound, if you're using 3.5mm jack sure not enough power unless you're using optical output. Even for a creative X-Fi sound card (for me la), i think its not that good also anyways.. Come my shop Ben.. let u listen Onkyo SE90 soundcard + Astro Gaming headset.. haha..

Actually for headsets, the sounds are still quite limited. So far im happy with a few models only but still, depends on people themself. Do you prefer comfort over performance, or a overall performing headset.

Which you wanna try..

For gaming can try 7H USB.. But 7H USB not good in song music..some bassy song vy good but sentimental songs not quite..

If you wan good 1 can get Triton or Astro brand.. quite good for its quality..

normally i finish a round of game i take off my headset a while and put it back on again..

Their headset by far i tried the most comfortable headset.. Sound wise many can win but for a dolby 7.1 headset its considered cheap.. The comfort of the headset.. Ahh..~ hahaha.. really nice relaxing headset.. the sound depends on what you listen and the setting..

The downside is many setting need to be done to get the performance + need driver CD..

Which Plantronics Model you tried?

So far i using Gamecom 777 very shiok o.. for games + music pawn 7H USB. 7H USB not very suitable to listen to songs..

Here's list of my headset i used and for my taste and small feedback:-

Plantronics Gamecom 777 - Best i use so far. Suitable for FPS games + clear communication. Suitable for somgs and movies as well.

Steelseries 7H USB - Its great for games but weak in songs and movies. Certain type of songs sounds great only, not a overall performer.

Corsair HS1 USB- Very good for games, precision of sound. But have to install driver on PC to use it so got surround sound.

Steelseries Siberia V1 - Great sound + bass. Overall performer. Great for budget tight consumer.

Steelseries Siberia V2 - Same as V1, less cables, better mic and price slightly higher.

Steelseries 5HV2/Alienware TactX - Sound a bit weak, not loud enough. Plugged into external amp and the sound not nice. Wont recommend it unless you're tight on budget + if you're traveling a lot.

Razer Carcharias - A great 2.1 headset with nice sound. great for movies, gaming and music. But mic sound quality not very clear but still manage to hear. Cheap price too.

Razer Piranha - The classic's best. Heavy Bass, cheap price. Mic kinda down a bit but its still cool. Best of the range before all the better headset come out. Mine still kicking great now.

Razer Chimaera 2.1 Wireless - Best for songs and games which only supports up to 2.1 audio. Bad for movies. Very far range the receiver can go. Can go toilet do business while listening to you favorite tunes.

Razer Chimaera 5.1 Wireless - Best for movies and best wireless headset i tested so far. With better RCA connection cable you get more power from the headset. Downside is need huge money budget for this.

Thats all i own i guess.. there some other headset but dont really use it anymore, forgot how it sounds like..

Thats my taste la.. Different people different way of liking a headset.
