New Headset

[Artinz]

So, my old one broke (I thank my mom for dropping my textbooks on it...) and I need to buy a new one. I'm quite partial to the over the ear cup design, and a want an adjustable mic (just one that I can push up and out of my face). I was thinking about one of the Razer ones, like the Barracuda, until I saw reviews saying the mic sucked. I'm looking to spend up to $100 (I don't think I'll need to, but I will if needed). Also, it can be USB or 3.5mm, I don't really care.

Anyone got any ideas? Preferably ones that they own.

Anyone at all?

I've used TurtleBeach's HPA series headphones for years, I believe GardenGrove even got the same HPA2's that I've been using for 2 years now. In fact Turtle Beach HPA2's are the OEM for Razer Barracudas, they are nearly identical except for the razer LED lights in the ear cups and the USB interface instead of the 3 1/8th inch audio jacks (1 for center/sub, 1 for L/R Front/ 1 for L/R Surround)

They run around $75 on amazon and newegg:

(out of stock until next week)

heres the manufacturers page though (and they happen to be an eGO sponsor):

Also I've been looking at this Tritton 5.1 headset that looks to be a killer, they are just $25 more expensive:

Cant go wrong either way.

I have the older version of that Tritton, man is it nice! When I was playing CSS for the first time with them, I could literally see with my ears when playing with them.

Oh definitely, I basically suck if I play with stereo sound... the positional audio those headsets give you is amazing.

Steelseries headset here but i really like the Logitech G35, thing is amazing from what i hear and has some of the best performance out of all headsets for an amazing price right now of $80 with a rebate form. They retail for like $130 but amazon has it for $100 and then a 20% off rebate to make it around $80 which is AMAZIN!!!!! and is definitely better than the rest at this price, it even is probably the best looking one too
