Gaming Headset Questions

[innisso]

So 2 questions..

1. USB or 3.5mm jack headsets and why?

2. Which brand/model is best for gaming and listening to footsteps and environmental noises?

1. 3.5mm. Just do it, trust me.

2. Sennheiser. I have used most of them out there and i find the Sennheiser PC350/PC360 specifically good in high frequence noises such as footsteps in fps games. These are excellent overall quality aswell.

Ok, so Sennheiser is kinda out of my price range and I heard the Steelseries 5H V2 and 7H were pretty popular and effective. I currently have a Razer headset and was wondering if the Razer Megalodon was any good compared to the Steelseries ones?

 

[boldor]

Forget the 7H. If you wanna go for best price/performance ratio the Steelseries V2 is your friend. Razer makes good mouses, their headsets are expensive and medicore.
