headset recommendation

want to talk to buddy of mine with headset or mic on DFX. Need recommendation on headset. Also, how is the online voice function done? Is it different for different games?

Thanks.

Logitec makes really good ones.

Make sure you don't step on yours like I did.

Can't beat that price! I went to Best Buy and got a Logitech set. Paid 25$. They had a headset for 99$ (that headset must talk for you at that price). I was tempted to get a mic on a stand, have anyone of you tried that? If it works pretty good it seems more convenient than the headphones...

Sennheiser makes probably the top of the line. There really popular in the cs community. Logitech makes a good one also.

I have always used an 18" boom-mic mounted from the side of my monitor.
You may use a mic with VOX and not get feedback (echo) as long as you can position it within a couple inches of your mouth so that the triggering threshhold can be set high.
That will keep your speakers from triggering the mic.
I use this setup with a 400 watt theatre surround system and never have problems, even though I crank it up for action games.
I can't stand being tethered with a headset.

Happy Gaming,
--Orv

I can't keep a set of hphones. I'm like a bull in a China shop with some stuff. The set I have now cuts in and out. I've had some of the best sets to being a musician/singer/songwriter and have recorded at home and such.

Yeah, headset wires tend to be WAY too delicate for extended gaming use.
I've been using my mic for about 10 years now... everyone says I sound great on voice and it cost me all of $3.
LOL!

Happy Gaming,
