I've never used a headset in games before, but I've been playing a lot of left 4 dead and just brought arma II and mic would be really useful. ATM I use my digital Z-5500s with a creative X-FI, but the X-FI uses a flexi jack so I can't use a mic and digital out at the same time. Hence the headphones.
I have no idea which one though. I've read a few reviews but can't really decide on how much I need to spend. Are 5.1 headphones a gimmick?
I want decent sound quality, a mic for online games and fairly good build quality. They also need to work on Vista 64bit.
These are the ones I've looked at so far. But any advice on other models would be greatly appreciated!
