Comfortable Headsets? - Guild Wars Forums

Kabale · Mar 28, 2006, 04:10 PM // 16:10

I'm looking for a decent, comfortable headset (preferrably one with a rim that goes behind the head) in the price range of between $20-$40, or ??30~, anyone have any recommendations? I bought some Logitechs a while ago but one of the speakers died pretty fast, and unfortunately I can't find the receipt for it so can't get the guarantee

I use the logitech headset that came with the collectors edition when guild wars launched. Best Headset going except the volume controll weighed too much and after prolonged use, would hurt my left ear due to the weight of the inline volume controller in the wire. I modified a cell phone headset and broke off the clamp that would clip the wire to your shirt. This now takes alot of pressure off of my left ear. Im sure alot of players know exactly what im talking about. I have owned alot of headsets, but the extra long cord of the logitech internet chat headset, this thing is by far the best one ive owned.

Now if they could just add a clip for the volume controll.

I recommend Plantronics ... our company's sales reps use them and they are very comfortable, durable, and reasonably inexpensive (to us at least, no idea what they retail for)

I have their one for "gaming" and it works flawlessly, crystal clear, good mic, and very comfortable. I forget I have them on sometimes and clothesline myself when I get up from the computer ^_^

lol, that is what broke my 3 headsets prior to the GW logitech one, the 12 feet of cord makes it almost impossible to forget you are attached to your computer. You will trip on the cord before you run out of cord
