| Some time ago I posted a thread on recommended gaming headsets but I can't seem to find it via a search. Anyway, I should be getting a gaming headset pretty soon and I need recommendations from you lot. My apologies if you've already posted about this but I can't for the life of me see where the original topic is.
Anyway I'm after a comfortable lightweight gaming headset as no doubt I'll be playing for long hours when TOR is released. I also require good sound as I can't bear not being able to hear people whilst in the middle of a game. Price range will probably be around the £20-35 mark as I don't want to go too overboard.
So far I have my eye on these three:
Logitech Gaming Headset G330
Creative HS800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Plantronics GameCom 367 Closed Ear Gaming Headset | |

What are they like? I love everything Creative release in general but I was a bit worried they were too bulky. | |

| they are quite small really and very comfortable. I got them mainly cause they had 41 reviews and most of them gave 5 star, best ££ I've spent.
P.S they scare they crap out of me when playing L4D

| I have no idea what mine are except to say they are Logitech (there is no serial on them), but they're pretty awesome. USB-powered, they're comfortable and have a robust but light mic and has 3 sound settings built into a clickable button on the right ear piece; being "normal mode", "music mode" and "gaming mode".
I think I paid about £60 back in the day but that was over a year ago - you'd prob find them for about £30 now.
I'd recommend the Logitech Gaming Headset G330 as that seems to be the latest version of the same headset; they look kinda similar (except my set is all matte-black).
EDIT: Found 'em. Logitech ClearChat Premium (although mine is a usb version, not the 3.5 mm plug version shown here) | |

Yeah thats the ones I like the look of the most tbh. Mainly because they've apparently got great sound and they look realy comfortable. | |

| Personally myself I wear a Razer Carcharias headset... and it's possibly the best one I've ever had.. and I've been through quite a few due to my daughters and other dangers.

Also I'm terrible with making links appear correctly, so if someone wants to enlighten me on a better way to post a link, that would be fantastic.

| I just use the little "chain link" Icon (to the right of the "insert picture" one and to the left of the "choose font color" one in the "Quick Reply" section of any thread.
You put your url in the top box and what you want it to actually read in the second, a bit like this:

Headset mean you speak an you don't type... lazzy people (like me ) may like it... people involved in PvP or high-end PvE will also find it useful to communicate with team members without having to stop kill things. | |
