Headphones

I have some PS3 Sony headphones which are compatible for the PC. If it's for gaming then these guys are a must.

 

They are wireless and use a USB dongle, so if it's a phone jack you need then these guys are a no go! They are amazing quality and have a mic!

 

They sell new for around £80 to £90 each. Also support 7.1 virtual surround sound and are also digital.

Except for the fact that the headset is not supported on any platform other than PS3, it doesn't have proper drivers so uses generic Windows drivers, and so advanced functionality, including 7.1 doesn't work properly, it just flips from extreme left to extreme right side extremely quickly..

 

The sound quality is generally pretty decent, on the other hand, the microphone is a distorted pile of shite, again, possibly because it's being used on an unsupported platform.

 

For £80-90, if the purpose is gaming, you're better off getting a mid-range stereo headset (if you're not going balls to the wall and spending in the £100+ range, I recommend Corsair, you can pick up a decent mid range headset with good sound and exceptional build quality for the £35-45 mark) and a sound card, much better return on your money.
