Harold Rutila 974112 Posted June 19, 2010 at 05:52 PM Posted June 19, 2010 at 05:52 PM Hey Adam, About a year and a half ago, I bought a Plantronics St[Mod - Happy Thoughts]t H31 and its accompanying DA40 USB adapter off of eBay. The total cost was around $100, but you can get much cheaper deals than that. The headset is lightweight and doesn't heat up my ears like my old one (a black Logitech USB Skype headset). The lightweightness was key for me because I primarily control on VATSIM, and we generally won't take off the headset for long-hour, high-traffic events. There are other variants of the H31 that I hear are great, too. There's a lightweight headset model (with the arched frame with two ear speakers on each side), and a more superior version of the H31 called the H31N for noise cancellation purposes.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 19, 2010 at 06:01 PM Posted June 19, 2010 at 06:01 PM any headset really will do. everything else is just personal preference. even the cheap little $5 walmart sets will do just fine, for awhile once i got tired of breaking the cheapos, i bought my my logitech headset which was around $90 at bestbuy. good sound quality, i dont use the mic much but its good aswell. its a USB headset so allows me to seperate my FS sounds from voice sounds. even has a case to make sure i dont break it and when the nephews over, it gets stored away in a hurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony moseley 1088954 Posted June 20, 2010 at 11:02 AM Posted June 20, 2010 at 11:02 AM i use a microsoft lifechat which is at the bottom end of the market with regards to price, but it does the job. im amazed at the cost of some of the headsets that you can buy, i agree with ernesto go cheap because i cannot see what a headset costing 5 times as much as my one does will do different except be a little bit more comfy. in this costly world of fight simming addons and hardware, i can think of better ways of spending my money than an expensive headset, track ir being one of them. .

Wycliffe Barrett Posted June 29, 2010 at 10:43 AM Posted June 29, 2010 at 10:43 AM Hi I often find the best headsets are the ones that have earphones and a mic to be the best. No just kidding, mine is a plantronics something or other its about 5 yrs old and is perfect in terms of sound qulity and mic quality, no one ever says they cant hear me unless my mic settings are turned down. It's actually seen better days and is taped up with electricians tape here and there. Ineed a new set but I know I cant get this model. Best advice buy whatever youw ant but make sure its USB and not jack plugs. My next one is going to be a Creative wireless headset, I know a few people with these systems and they are superb. @Ernesto as a controller how come you don't us ethe mic much.
