Wireless Headset suggestions?

Debuff · November 06, 2008, 08:25 AM

I'm looking to get a new headset and I'd really like to get a wireless one (preferably with a recharging base station). i was wondering if anyone uses one or has any recommendations? In the little bit of research that I did it seems like right now the technology just isn't good enough to get both good audio quality and long battery life (4-8 hour sessions) in the same device.

Anyone got any ideas? I want to make a special note that I'm not asking for headphones, but rather a headset, complete with a microphone.

If you play for a long time (and what game does not require playing long if not WoW) I would strongly advise against wireless gear at all. It always wears off when you don't need it. "Pro"-Gamers use wires for a reason. :=)

Razer Barracuda HP-1 Gaming Headphones

these are what I use... comfortable, great response and mic is very crisp.

I paid around $100

I also had the Barracuda. Great headphones, right up until the thin plastic arm broke.
