Topic: Need gaming headphones

[ober]

My Tritton headphones won't work with Vista 64... so I need new ones.  Recommendations?  I'd like them to be less than $40 if possible... but I'm willing to go a little higher if it is close.  I need a mic and sound... that's about it.

Which model? My trittons and my friend rodgers worked on 32 and 64bit vista

5.1 USB, they say shark on the controller. I think I want something that isn't USB anyways.

[Steve]

Hmm. We have the high end optical dolby ones, I'm not sure about those

[ober]

Knuck?

[Steve]

I assume the new pc has at least 5.1. A nice pair of noise cancelling altec lansings will do nicely

[Steve]

Actually, I have a pair. Would take me few days maybe a week before I can get to the post office but if u want em I will send them to you.

I believe they are altec lansing model ach-520

Oh, and I need a mic... I looked at the Altec 524 headphones and they don't have a mic.

I'm thinking about getting these: http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?product=16337

Seems to be the best price.

The model # isn't on them but I'm 99% sure they were ach something. They have a kick ass mic on them and multiple speakers in each cup for directional.

I can't member what my trittons are think 800 series. Have to check. Ill see if I can dig up the model for the altecs too.

I bought them off mwave maybe 2-2.5 years ago and I can't find them. They look identical to these, and the specs read pretty much the same. And I paid 65.00 for these when I bought them, which is what these are priced at. Only difference I see is the volume control switch is larger and different looking. Other then that they are the same. My guess is these are the new and improved version of mine.

Those look decent but I like the Creative ones better... the only thing I don't like about the Creative set is that the mic doesn't swivel out of the way... but it is detachable, which is probably just as good.
