Default Replacing broken Fatality Headset - Help!
I Just broke my fatality headset this second and now I know what people mean by poor quality build.

Anyways I'm on a tight budget but I would not like to downgrade from their quality. I'm looking at the Sennheiser PC151 or mabye Sennheiser HD415 with a seperate mic? , I cant afford the PC156 or any other above. I'm not sure what else to look at, I used to have the cheapy Sennheiser PC131 before I gave them to my girlfriend... and I miss them lol.

I use my headsets for:
  • Counterstrike Source
  • Skype
  • Watching Anime
  • Music

I'm trying to keep this around £30 at the most. uk links only please. Thanks!

I was thinking of picking one of those up since my Logitech broke. I will now stay away from them as well.

UK kinda limits your choices friend :[ I'd say just go with the PC151.

If you wanna try something new [head/mic deal] check out the Koss Porta Pro

Looks dinky but is pretty awesome for a budget. Look up some reviews on a website called head-fi.org. Those with a mic = excellent. Another overclocker just picked them up and loved them!

OT: Which exact model of Fatality headset did you have? Would you be willing to send me the pads if I pad shipping ? LMK!

Ugh, I would like to try out those porta pro but it would be much easier to get the 151's.

Those 151 look pretty poo, but if you require a headset it seems to be the better deal.

I can't choose! >.<

Would the quality of the portapro's benefit in CSS?
