So my g35 headset snapped when i tried to take it off today and now I am in need of a new headset. I thought I would ask what you guys would recommend?
I know there is some other similar threads but they were a few years old and much happens in that time.
I would prefer analog(3.5) but USB can work, I have no set budget but cheap is always welcome as long as quality doesn’t suffer.
lol I was totally going to post G35’s until I came in and read your post. the join breaking seems to be a really common issue on the G35’s, I’m paranoid and retract them every time i put them down to reduce the stress on them o.O
G930
Get a Razer Carcharias.
It’s an excellent headset. I’ve started using this type of product for well over two years and I’ve only had to have them replaced once.
intopic Jazz-369, I drop them several time when trying to take them off and I am yet to see them snap off yet.
Isn’t that pretty much ignoring the OP…the 930’s ARE essentially G35’s
I suggest not getting a new headset. Just use the current one’s mic and a pair of headphones you like.
Get some astroa40’s + mixamp.
Senheisser HD 201, cheap and yet sound amazing
Love mine. Wore one out after two years, replaced it with a Sound Blaster wireless set, realized I missed my Carcharias set and bought another one.
As much as I love the 201’s(mate has a pair I use a lot), they’re not really a headset. They don’t have a microphone.
really depends how much you love your audio.
i started out cheap then went up and up, i havent gone anything apart from razer headphones because im just another fan boy.
currently using Tiamats https://au.razerzone.com/razer-tiamat-7-1 only problem is actually getting your hands on a pair, there constantly out of stock, but the audio is sublime, you will need a audio card that supports 7.1 though. really comfortable, 0 background noise, mic is a bit twitchy and needs your tweaking to get it right but it good quality, and the sound they make has blown everybody away that ive showed them too.
i had a set of Megaldons which treated my good for a long time too. good audio, good mic, incredibly comfortable. then i gave them to my mate so he’d have a mic to actually use.
there the upgrade version of the Carcharias too.
Steel Series Siberia V2:
I’ve had a pair since Christmas, they are incredibly comfortable, retractable mic (a great feature as I only use the mic while multiplayer gaming/VoIP, which is only ~25% of my time on a PC), and with the right soundcard (I’m using Xonar DX) and quality tunes (lossless or 320 kbps) music is just a great experience.
Edit: by the way, these are USB OR Analog - they include an in-line USB soundchip in case you don’t have onboard or a decent soundcard; I opt for analog, of course, but hey, now you have options i.e. for a laptop.
I have a pair of these, older ones when they were still called Icemat Audio. Really good headset actually, those are ones I’d recommend
I have Shure SRH840s and they’re really good.
I have a really small logitech headset and the wire is a piece of shit
I use four-year-old earbuds that came with my Zune and a Rock Band microphone propped up with a roll of toilet paper. No complaints so far.
This man knows things.

I’ve been interested in the tiamat. Do you know if they are compatible with thx trustudio? And It says on the page that you need a soundcard installed, but do you think I can use my onboard card, it has all the ports.

And YES audio quality really does matter to me. But I’m not sure i can afford a good sound card as well as that headset atm.
Nope.
