I need a better headset so I can hear my nutz slapping against my fallen enemies foreheads while I'm teabaging them. :D
 
Because putting {No Sound} next to your name in games gets you kicked off some servers!
 
Take pity on me and give me something for free. That will enhance my hearing. That will block out the sound of my wife b*tching about whatever she is b*tching about and give me some small bit peace in this world of pain.
 
I'm deaf/hard of hearing and a FPS gamer and one day a long time ago (CS 1.6 / Rogue Spear) people would talk about how they could track someone in game with their headphones (one girl I knew had someone on her CS team be able to know what the other team was buying across the map just from the sounds on some maps).

This bugged me to no end and every now and then I try some headphones (I even got the Zalman 5.1 headphones). I now know I wont get accurate positional audio because of my hearing loss, but there are other clues that help (high/low pitch footstep sounds that indicate what material is being stepped on, bass coming from one side of the headset indicating general direction). On top of this, I use ventrilo and a good headphone means the difference between saying "What? Where is he?" twenty times and end up with a grenade landing at my feet and having an easier time pinning the guy down. So I am always trying to find good audio items that work well with my hearing aid and my hearing loss, and having it work well across multiple systems.

That said, having been a long time user of Corsair Memory (as far back as the Athlon XP Palomino Core) and now recently buying two 800Ds (I liked the first one so I got another one) and several PSUs as well, I've come to appreciate the quality of their products thus far and I'm interested in their HS1s.

So I'm putting my raffle ticket in here.
 
My current head phones are too small that they pinch my ears. It becomes painful to play after a while, which sucks during raids.
 
I bought my current PC speakers when Clinton was President. The first term. Some headphones would be nice.
 
How else will I be able to hear the voice in the sky tell me that I must construct additional pylons?
 
So I can talk trash and listen to my own music, at the same time of course :)
 
I need a new set of headphones. My current set does not stay on my head. Bad design on my Logitech Behind the ears set. And I can't move the mic out of the way when I just want to listen to Sat Radio when I am grinding along gaming...
 
i use earbuds unfortunately, at all times when I'm playing games like MW2 and they are responsible for a lot of my deaths. you just cannot get great directional audio cues from the game without a great headset.

In my opinion, a quality headset is far better than external speakers and of course earbuds, lol
 
My old headset broke so now my co-op gaming ability is severely limited and a new pair of headsets would resolve that problem quite nicely.
 
my 4 year old can use my old ones when he plays, CS:S, I'll use The new ones.

hearing the sounds of other players as they come up behind you or if there are shots near by, or even if you are sneaking arround to get someone in a game, every sound is key to your next action.
 
When playing a game it'll be nice to hear the enemies coming while communicating to friends on vent about their presence.
 
I need to hear my games better because at age 53 my hearing just isn't what it used to be. Now, from which direction is that Hunter coming from...
 
I need to hear better because my second pair of SteelSound 5Hv2s went tits up in exactly the same fashion as the first pair (right speaker failed after ~6 months) and this goddamn piece of shit Creative World of Warcraft headset keeps losing its wireless connection to the receiver three feet away and randomly decides it doesn't want to charge or even stay on while connected via USB. Oh, and the built-in mic is poop, so I'm actually using my 5Hv2's around my neck for the mic while wearing the WoW headset (when it works). I'd take a pic, but I'd be too embarrassed to post it.

Please, please, for the love of everything holy...
 
I'm an aging (44) dedicated PC gamer who has attended 1 too many Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC shows.... My hearing ain't what it used to be!
 
it would be nice to replace my old sony pos headphones with a superior pair so that I can hear when people are running up behind me to stab me.
 
Sneak sneak sneak, slide knife slowly out of sheath... sheeeeeeeeen.... I turn around, BOOM HS!
 
To drown out my wife nagging at me to get off of my PC to fix her's so that she can play archlord all night.
 
I live in a small apartment with thin walls. I hear everything around me except for my games. I love my klipsch speakers, but I end up having to turn them down to where I cannot hear anything in games/music. I NEED a good set of headphones so I can hear the games the way the developers designed them to be heard!
