I need a new headset

My headset broke. This headset has served for about 6 years and it served me well. It's always been very decent, and I was always able to hear everything in every game to every detail, even with the crappy soundcard I have.

The brand was a Sennheiser HD202, and I looked on Ebay for that one, and I could easily just buy it again... But then I started noticing different headsets, like the Creative Fatal1ty, which costs about the same... And then there are the Razer headsets, which are more expensive.

Does anyone have some advice on this? Because I can't continue with my Sennheiser one, since the sound only works on the right side...

I where Inland. There cheap i think. But there kinda coo. Ive grown to like the extra bass feature a lot.
Razor makes good mouses I'm sure the headsets would be nice too.

I've used Plantronics and Sennheisers. Sennheisers are par none the best. Bose has a good sound projects but usually its expensive. Most aa players use Sennheisers 515 (70 bucks)

I already have a Razer mouse (got it for free), and it's awesome. So I'm guessing the same as you Josh with the headsets, but if you want a good Razer headset it'll cost at least €80...

The Sennheiser headset I have has been awesome for AA and every other game I ever played. I'm gonna look for that 515 one, and see which are the best way to go. I also found a cheap Razer Barracuda on Ebay, so if the price doesn't go up too much I'll probably buy that one.

I wouldn't buy it into the Razor so much. Sennheisers seem much more versatile than Razors

Well, I'd prefer to buy a Sennheiser again.. I'm thinking about buying the same one again. But if I can get that Razer Barracuda for €30, I'm gonna get it!

Do you use the headphones as anything else(Ipod, zune etc)?

No, just for games, music & movies on my comupter.
For my ipod & stuff I have different headphones.

In my opinion, I don't think the Razor's are worth it unless your getting them cheap. Since you aren't really competitive gaming, you don't really need super expensive headphones.

I got my Sennheiser HD202 for free, and they were actually DJ headphones, but they worked great for gaming... And at the time they came out they costed about €75.

I know Sennheiser's comfortable. The Razor's might be uncomfortable. Its totally up to you. I rather have decent sound and comfortable than amazing sound and uncomfortable.
