Problem solved. Need a new headset [bought]

[jwso]

So my two years old Siberia v2s just decided to stop working on the left side all of a sudden. The cables are all fine on the outside, so I don’t think anything can be done.

What I'm looking for is a headset that has great sound quality and will last for years. I’m ready to pay 100+ $£€. Having a built-in mic would be a bonus, but a seperate one will do as well.

I've been usin' this Logitech H390, it might hurt your big ears after a while since the headset's a bit small.

Here's what they are.

I have the H390 however it does tend to pinch a bit and my friends with glasses say it presses their glasses pretty hard. However, it's not a bad headset

What about sound cards? Do I need to get a good one or what ? ??

I use this. It's dura-buit, has great cuffs, and good mic. It's also not too expensive.

Sound cards are pretty much useless unless you want surround sound.

I'm actually considering buying audiophile level headphones I can use for years and years.

The best option so far seems to be the Sennheiser HD 598.

Alright, the HD 598s sound AMAZING. You really need a sound card, though (the one I got cost me $30). The $5 clip-on mic sounds better than the one I had on my Siberia v2s.

- amazing sound and the headphones haven't even "burned in" yet
- comfortable, light
- detachable cord

5/5, would buy again
