Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Writing from my phone so didn't check prices but I have the Logitech G35. The sound is excellent and the mic works great as well. The set is also comfortable to wear for extended gaming sessions. What games you looking to get into? Hope to see you around TS soon, Hoot. - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure what you mean. If you do get a USB headset, the sound and mic will both work. Most headsets I have seen that use the 3.5mm plugs only use one channel (green plug) for audio, so you won't get "surround sound". (Ie: a headset will not take advantage of the 5.1 on-board audio). With the G35 you get 7.1 surround sound. Also, last time I used a 3.5mm mic, I was only able to use one voice program at a time. In other words, if a game had in-voice audio, I couldn't use both it and TeamSpeak. But that has been awhile ago, they may have fixed that by now. Someone with that current setup would have to verify if that is still true or not. - JHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoot~SPARTA~ Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 hi thanks for replys the bit i was confused with, was due to it being a laptop and it stating in the specs about the audio with the mic and headphone jacks i thought it was dependent on that set up not the usb connection for the sound(i:e had to be jacks for the card installed) thanks hoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have the Fatality headset Hoot, iv tried all the fancy ones but this does the job at a fraction of the price. Very comfy/light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrester~SPARTA~ Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Most USB headsets have an option for 3,5 mm jack too (usb plug with female connectors, headset with male) as is my Fatality...5.1 means you need 3 plugs, one for the mic, and two for the speakers. Using soundblasters 3DMS surround gives me more direction feeling than 5.1 headphones..... but that's also a bit my taste . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
