Thread Starter 
Hello there,
My old creative MKII is dying on me and im bound to buy a new headset real soon ! I do not use speaker at all, only use headset so it needs to be high performing for either long-hour gaming and occasional listening to music ! im a Razer fan and went to a local store and they had these available, which one do you think would be the best choice ? first time buying a Razer headset so any help is really appreciated.

Razer Orca Gaming Headset

Razer Electra Gaming Headset

Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset

I wouldn't recommend a headset. A pair of headphones and a separate mic will give you much greater bang for your buck. And honestly all the headsets/headphones you are thinking of aren't very good. As much as I love Razer their headphones aren't the best. (but they are SUPER comfortable)

What is your budget?

Superlux 668B, Samson SR850 or JVC RX700?

I recommend the Superlux HD681. It could be considered something in between the Samson SR850 and the JVC's. It has more bass then the 668b but retains the 668b's great soundstage. Make sure to get some new ear cushions if you get any of the Superlux because the stock get very sticky after awhile of wearing them. Also I recommend to get a sound card as it will help with positional stuff in games a lot more then the headphones could.



P.S. to OP Samson SR850 and Superlux HD668B are the same headphone.
