damn headphones again.....

[BoondockSaint]

Maybe it's the way I hang them off the side of my desk, or something, but I go through headphones like crazy. They all get to that point where you have to hold the wire a certain to hear anything. Of course, I do only spend $20 or less for them everytime. This is coming from the same guy who dropped $200 just on the keyboard.

SO......

I'm looking at these...any experience with them?

If I'm not in the server much, it's because not hearing anything makes it impossible for me to play.....or I'm feeding my current Trackmania addiction.

Doesn't seem like there is anything really wrong about them from the reviews on newegg.

LOL, force feedback headphones... Sounds kinda scary! Here's a review (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/02/04/audio_fx_pro_5_1_gaming_headset/1) I googled.

Of course the problem with random reviews is you don't know where the reviewer is coming from, but I usually just do at least a quick check for some hoping they are a little more familiar with the topic than me. I just buy whatever headphones are on clearance. My current ones are Altec Lansings, with stunning duct tape accents where the hinge broke!

I go to best buy.:p
I have Logitech headphones that come with a mic attached. I've had them since this past February and I've had no problems so far.

boss headphones + desktop mic = win.

who gives a shit how your voice sounds? its not like you yourself have to hear it anyways. and boss is always the best sound qualitty ftw.

[baggedmazda]

i will stick with my cheapies unless best buy clears them out like the razor keyboards cant bet 6 bucks

[KocK GoBlin]

Maybe there are some nice wireless ones you can buy?

[BoondockSaint]

I'm interested in the force feedback on these ones I ordered.....I'm guessing playing on vacant will turn my brain into mash.

[BoondockSaint]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT are these things AWESOME!!! My only complaint is that I have to keep the volume down to almost NOTHING lol they are so loud.

[HSMagnet]

so how is the "force feedback"?

[BoondockSaint]

When listening to music it's like being in a car with a kick ass system in it. The force feedback feels like TREMENDOUS bass response more than it does a "rumble" effect. In game, explosions are felt as well as heard LOL. Nades vibrate my whole head.
