Morning all,
My Roccat Kave 5.1 headset is still going strong but the mic is having issues. I'm a big fan of the Kave, because not a single part of the headset actually touches my ears. The rubber goes around the entire ear, and it's well supported on my head. Granted this makes the cans enormous compared to most, but the directional audio feels better that way. It's pretty much been the most comfortable headset I've owned.
I'd rather try something new now, except I don't want a headset with an inbuilt mic. I'm looking for something decent in terms of a headset, something like the old sennheiser HD 330. Something very comfortable for the ears. I've used a number of midrange £40-50 headsets and they all hurt my ears bar the sennheiser ones that were incredibly cushiony and didn't chafe.
Along with a headset, I'm looking for a good quality dedicated mic. I'll be sat approx 3 ft. away from the mic. Pretty much any directional mic that's capable of better capture quality than you're average gaming headset.
Anyone who recommends some cheap £20 Trust mic is gonna get a 5 finger slap to the face!
Ideally not looking to spend any more than £100 combined for both items, this is for TeamSpeak and CS:GO competitive matches with my team more than anything else. Gotta hear those footsteps to A Short.
Ideally anything from Amazon, OCUK, Ebuyer, Scan, CCLOnline, Novatech, Aria, Dabs would be preferable. No Ebay links. Hell, if anyone on the forums is selling this gear I'd love to know.
EDIT: If somebody can recommend a ballin' headset with crystal clear mic quality, I'd be open to considering it.
