I'm getting ready to buy myself a nice Christmas present, and my fiancee should love it as well. I decided to alleviate her from my loud gaming and blu ray video watching and get me a real nice pair of headphones and mic or a headset.
I don't listen to a ton of music, my primary use is gaming, this is big, with some blu ray movie watching. Getting rid of my 5.1 surround sound and really want a nice headset to replace them.
So what would your recommendation with regards to what I should be looking at? I should be getting around $100 dollars from family and would be willing to probably dish out around another 50-100 on a set if it's really nice. So looking at around $150-200 or so, I might go over a tad if I an find a good deal.
I keep hearing a lot of contradicting responses to them, or at least with regards to 5.1, 7.1, or really nice stereo.
I am currently running on board audio, I will probably pick up a descent card before too long. I am wandering how much my on board sound will hurt if I go with a stereo setup that is normally recommended here, although my on board is still 5.1, it still doesn't lay a finger to a good dedicated card.
I've heard some descent things about Medusa, I hear TurtleBeach is really nice but I don't see any recommendations on here for them so no clue how they stand up to everything else on here. Would I be better off in my situation going for some of the ones that come highly recommended among other threads here? I ask b/c I really don't listen to a lot of the music so what I'd be needing is primarily killer for games and amazing for kicking back and enjoying a blu ray, and as I stated above not having a dedicated card atm really has me in a pickle as far as knowing which direction I should go.
What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance.
