Looking for something that is good quality and $100 dollars or less. My are seriously falling apart since i got them for free and half the time the left speaker of the headphone doesn't even work. Not sure what brand to go with, so any suggestions would be of great help, thanks a lot!
 
Ahh, I'm looking for something new also! The foam in the headphones are starting to fall out, but the speakers are fine. The mic I use now is the one in my webcam, and my friends on skype all say it picks up too much background noise.

I've had numerous Logitech's in the past, but they always end up breaking after a year or less. The wire inside frays or something.
 
I just tossed a pair of Razer in the trash and the last pair I will every buy, poorly made and too expensive for the quality. Turtle Beach are not too bad for their price and the USB sound is pretty good, quality is still fair. I just got the Astro A40 wired headset and mixer control and they rock, great 5.1 sound you can actually tell where the sound is coming from and they are built pretty good. Trouble is they are damned expensive. Check them out if you are in the market for a good gaming headset, I wouldn't use them for music, for that I use Sennheiser.

Those look awesome but they are a little too out of my price range for headphones, hah. Anything will be an upgrade from the ones i am currently using.

Looking at the reviews, these seem pretty legit and not too expensive. Though i would not mind spending up to $100. Any other suggestions besides Razer and ones i cant afford? hah
 
May I suggest www.amazon.com or www.newegg.com ? Just go off reviews and say fuck it.

There are so many different headphones for under $100 bucks and everyone in here is going to list the ones they tried which is 1 or 2 of hundreds. I can say turtle beach is hit or miss, the ps3 headset I got for $60 was terrible and didn't have enough bass, the xbox headset I got was amazing and $80. Sennheiser 558 is what I have now and love them, but they are $180ish and doesn't help you at all, just saying. Try out some new ones that have good reviews and them come start a thread telling us what you think of them! Don't be a follower, DON'T YOU DO IT!
 
Hi.

My answer used to be: < $100? Turtle Beach, whatever you find fancy. > $100? Sennheiser HD 555.

And then Turtle Beach completely changed their builds and Sennheiser products jumped $70 in price. The older Turtle Beach stuff has been tried, tested and 47Ronin approved for years. The entire CS:S community has tried, tested and approved of the Sennheiser HD 555's...to the extent that the CAL forums became a fan boy forum for them.

I say you buy the Turtle Beach z6A and tell us how you like it. You'll appreciate the included splitter cable so you can use your headset or desktop speakers at will (without diving behind your comp to change wires).

I have used both the Turtle Beach HPA1 and Sennheiser HD 555 for a long time now.

Awesome water, those look sick and affordable. Plus they would work with my xbox360. I may have to pick these up next paycheck or so.
