put that 200 dollars in the bank silly

or use it to purchase the services of a prostitute. along with a box of lye.

pretty much hit the nail on the head with that one slick, and I won't deny that but I wouldn't mind the upgrade and I also want to give my old set to my bro. Also I already ordered them this morning after reading like 100 reviews lol seems like a winner. I also have enough to get a new G card when I need it but I'm waiting for the next gen.

i'll bet you 10 bucks that you end up liking your old headset better.

infact, i'll bet your old headset that this one somehow dissapoints =p

did you get the 555's or the 558's ?

where did u get them? how much did u pay?

Why do you make me cry bro, WHY!!!!!!??!??!?. anyways I really hope not because that would suck. I just grabbed them for 149 on amazon since the american one wouldn't ship to me. I grabbed the 555 since they were cheaper by 80$ on amazon.

you gotta work on getting more in touch with your inner jew there broseph

whatever happens you'd better make sure that you spend the next month telling us all about it

I will be sure to do that also btw check this out I'm glad I went with the 555 because look what I can do. This is confirmed and it's pretty damn easy


this is a screenshot showing the Two headset's both open they are literally the same with 2 pieces of foam and a 100$ price difference. http://mikebeauchamp.com/wp-content/gallery/pages-misc/hd555-vs-hd595-open.jpg

So I finally picked up a new headset. My first gaming headset.

I picked up the Corsair HS1A : http://www.corsair.com/pc-computer-...adset.html

They have 50mm drivers, paid $70 for it.
I'm relatively impressed for that price point. I could have waited for the Corsair Vengeance 1300's but they would have been more $ anyways.
I have a pair of pretty high quality BOSE headphones at work, so I know what high quality headphones sound like and these definitely aren't super high end.
That being said, they have good detail but don't fill in the full package when listening to music or movies. They're missing that deep bass and fine crispness you get with high quality headphones.

For games, they work really well, I was hearing ambient noises in BF:BC2 I had never heard before with speakers. The mic is OK, it sounds different than my Logitech $25 headset but still has similar quality, I may just sound a little more muffled but closer to the input.

There is no directional sound for hearing where footsteps are coming from, but to be honest, I have been trying to test how valuable that is with speakers and it really doesn't work that well in BC2. That might change in BF3, time will tell.

Overall I would recommend these for $70, they have decent sound for movies and audio, and great sound for games. Good construction and a half decent mic.

But they are definitely not Uber quality.

In the end you get what you pay for.

My only complaint is that they block out the outside sounds so well, that you can't hear your own voice when you speak, so I have no idea if I'm yelling or whispering. It's going to take some getting used to for sure.
