Kevin Kan Posted June 19, 2011 at 12:57 AM Posted June 19, 2011 at 12:57 AM Looking for a new headset. I would prefer wireless. How long have you had it and how it is performing so far? Like my GOAT?

So I would suggest checking Sennheiser. BeluxvACC Controller ezyJet VA Staff Member | Vatsim Liaison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Complin Posted June 19, 2011 at 10:57 AM Posted June 19, 2011 at 10:57 AM Hi Kevin, I was pondering the same thing about this time last year! The "toy" that I came up with was the Logitech ClearChat Wireless: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/speakers-audio/headphones/devices/4226 I don't know what your budget was like but if it is as low as mine was then you will initially be disgusted by the price. I have to admit that when I first viewed it on the manufacturers website I was discouraged by the price but a little bit of Google'ing led me to Amazon who was selling it for about £35, I don't know what they are currently doing for though. Looking at the headset in particular; I am really impressed by how light and durable it is. The sound quality seems to be very good. My only criticism is that the earphones sit flat on the ear and not cuff around the outside; therefore they are not noise cancelling but this may not be a disadvantage to you. The mic boom is only left, but does move up and down to mute the mic (which is very handy!) and the earphone have a volume control. The connection is a USB dongle similar to that of a wireless mouse. It comes with a charger, (it's own batteries), and a nice little USB dock for the receiver. The battery life is a reasonable 8 - 10 hours with a very quick charge time and the option to use whilst charging - the cable is long enough!. All in all I would give it about 4/5 but still a very worthy headset if you are looking for wireless! G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Everette Posted June 19, 2011 at 06:15 PM Posted June 19, 2011 at 06:15 PM Kevin, What specifically are you looking for in a headset (other than wireless)? If you're just looking for VoIP applications (ATC, Flying, TS, Vent, etc), I'd recommend either the Clear Chat (what George recommended) or the H760. I have the G330 (wired) for my VoIP apps, and the only thing I notice is the top of my ears get a bit sore after a couple hours (which might happen with the H760). If you're looking for combination VoIP apps, and gaming, I can't recommend the Logitech G930 enough. I've had it since it's release last August, and it is a phenomenal headset, with excellent battery life. One of the advantages is that if your battery starts to die, you can charge it while using it. -Dan Everette CFI, CFII, MEI Having the runway in sight just at TDZE + 100 is like Mom, Warm cookies and milk, and Christmas morning, all wrapped into one.

James McMinn 1173159 Posted June 20, 2011 at 09:08 AM Posted June 20, 2011 at 09:08 AM Hi there, I have the Logitech G930, great sound and everything, but 7 months into owning it, the microphone arm snapped of and it is currently been held together by duct tape. Overall, not recommended as it feels structurally weak. Thanks, James McMinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kan Posted June 21, 2011 at 03:05 PM Author Posted June 21, 2011 at 03:05 PM No set budget, but I'm not lottery rich either. Headset for game, skype, VATSIM and movies. Looks like I might go with wired since it seems to offer more. I checked out some of the suggestions above but haven't decided on anything yet. Like my GOAT? Too bad, it's mine.
