Lee Ridgeway 1124048 Posted October 29, 2009 at 02:47 AM Posted October 29, 2009 at 02:47 AM What is your preference on headsets ? I purchased the cheapest for now and I can hear transmissions fine but the controllers have trouble hearing me. I tried turning up the volume in the settings in Control Panel but it hasn't make a satisfactory improvement. Does anyone have any suggestions that are working well for you ? My computer is a Dell XPS 410 with a 1.6 ghz dual core processor and a Nvidia Geforce 7400 card. Thanks.

Tanner Novak 1098567 Posted October 29, 2009 at 06:32 AM Posted October 29, 2009 at 06:32 AM Here's what I use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836504001 Works really well for me. The only con I have is the mic sits at the corner of my mouth, which sometimes makes it harder for controllers to hear me. All I do is move the mic side forward so the mic is right in front of my mouth. But overall it's a great headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my current headset I need to go into the windows audio settings and enable +20dB mic boost and then turn the volume down slightly so it isn't too loud.

Jeremy Scardino 1091718 Posted November 2, 2009 at 09:24 PM Posted November 2, 2009 at 09:24 PM I use the Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000. Works pretty good, which is surprising, because usually anything from Microsoft stinks. But yeah, works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erhan Atesoglu 1050499 Posted November 5, 2009 at 09:59 AM Posted November 5, 2009 at 09:59 AM I second that motion SteelSeries are literally tough as steel. I've tried Microsoft and Logitech and the 3H is definitely worth the $60 dollars I paid. My main complaint besides durability was that most other headsets can easily be muted by accident. Steelseries you have to apply quite a bit of pressure... http://www.pond64.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
