dear forums: suggest me headsets.

[Trymos]

budget is $90.

i have a question: do usb headsets work with usb 2.0? my laptop only has 2.0 ports.
if so, does the headphones and microphone work just fine?

if not, do not suggest me usb headsets that dont work with usb 2.0

im looking at this one since it looks like it could fit my needs:
http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom-780-Surround-Headset/dp/B006ZS5ATM

i have no clue if this is usb 2.0 compatible because nothing is telling me it is.

i dont need anything extremely fancy i just want it to be fairly clear and sound good for:
CS:GO in general usually jailbreaks though
garrys mod in general usually jailbreaks though
WoW raiding.
needs a microphone also.
and more that are less important, those 3 are essential though.

Typically USB headsets only use the USB port just to draw power from, nothing else.  So it doesn't matter if it's 2.0 or not, even so there's no product being made with USB 1.0 anymore (or 2.0 probably for that matter since 3.0 is out).  They're reverse compatible anyway (i.e. 1.0 devices will work with 2.0 ports).

cool.
in that case ill keep looking at the headset in the OP until someone suggests a better one or its time to purchase.

I like my Turtlebeach P11

[ShadowsfeaR]

Anything Sennheiser or Bowers & Wilkins.

[Comatose]

Razed Carcharias. Comfortable, good sound quality, and 10 bucks under budget.

lol stereo surround sound.


just get some REAL 5.1 surround sound ones, and not the dual speaker fake surround sound that most of them do.

my perfect amazing boyfriend got these http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/pc-gaming-headsets/ear-force-z6a.aspx
on an ebay store for like 75.00 new in package.
and there is some 25 dollar cords you can buy off the site that would let you use em on an xbox if you needed em for that.

its got the front,side,rear,bass speakers in each ear. and a driver (green, black, orange + pink) plugs to play real full speaker quality on them.
fantastic for gaming or music.

(yes this is bisjac on kitton's computer)

dont give a stuff for xbox.

going to consider that but i need to find it cheaper that's not on eba-
holy stuff the build quality complaints from just about everywhere i've looked at these headphones.

another rule: fairly durable. (at least enough to last about 6 months without breaking usually)

i'll look at real 5.1 surround sound ones, but not that specific one.

[SpreadsPlague]

the Z6A lasted me about a week before I leaned back and one of the right side speakers (the main one, it's either front or center) completely stopped working.

abysmal build quality. literally all I did was lean back and it stopped working.

apparently you can pick it up and it will break.

[Bisjac]

i sit on em all the time, never had an issue.
of course people will report on sites that they break easy lol. no one wants to admit they dropped it down the stairs

they have free lifetime factory warranty anyways. trade em up just for fun if they scratch
