All I use are headphones. FPS games are my bread and butter, and if you aren't using headphones, you're dead. Everything I've read about the HS1 has been positive and I've actually already ordered a pair...but they haven't arrived yet so I'd love to save the $100 for other uses!
My good 'ol Hd570's finally quit on me last week after 5 or so years of admirable service. Now my speakers are waking up the baby in the apartment below me.
I'm currently using some low-end Koss Headphones that 've had for close to 5 years now and they've lost most of the squeeze that keep them on my head, so I have to readjust them a bit uing a sesion, especially while playing Black Ops.
I have a $15 "clip-on" microphone from RadioShack that I keep next to my keyboard, if I move the wire too much either way it gets staticy and I need to readjust then log out of Ventrilo then back in in order for people to hear me again.
I've been loking into headsets and it's a toss up between the corsair and WOW headsets. I prefer the Corsair because the audio range is much better, whereas the WOW headset isnt so good for movies (I've read somewhere... ).
I play Starcraft II, WOW, COD: BlackOps, and I listen to music all day and stream Netflix in my non gaming time.
I use these, and I gotta be honest. I was skeptical about the whole USB sound thing.
Convinced, they are worth every single penny I paid for them. Give it 5-7 days of breaking in and these sound incredible, fit wonderfully, and feel incredible on your ears and head even after hours of use.
In! I also currently do not use any headphones, but with the girlfriend constantly nagging me about the gaming noise, I'd be sure to put the HS1 to good use.
I dont use headphones when gaming I use Logictech 540X surround sound speakers when gaming I would like win a pair of the corsair HS1 gaming headset I see it has great reviews and alot of people highly recommend them in gaming and I'm working on upgrading my gaming computer with better parts for better performance and this economy isnt helping me anytime soon with expensive upgrades
