Guys, I plan to buy a new headset cuz my old one is rubbish. Noise like athmospherics and hum - therefor I play only arena_of_death with full music.  I look for the Medusa NX but my favorite is the Roccat Kave. Heavy but solid, cable remote, real 5.1 sound, black'n'blue... Whats your choice? |

The Roccat headset is too heavy and has sound problems on the left side, due to the audio controls on that side. The medusa has no mute controls for the microphone, but is not bad besides that. My recommendations are the Sennheiser PC 151 for an open speaker or the Logitech G35 if you prefer it surrounding, without no background sounds. 5.1 is useless however, since openAl hardware acceleration doesn't work properly in UT3 and probably everyone plays UT3 with generic stereo. Sennheiser PC 151 - ~40€  Logitech G35 - ~80€  |

You should check the list from the homepage www.gamersware.com. There you should look which are good, but buy them somewhere else because they are pretty expensive there. |

Ditch the 5.1 it's hype nothing more. Go for Sennheiser or Koss. Both companies have decades of experience in headphones manufacturing so you can't make a bad choice. I have Koss sb45 but the PC151 are a good choice as well.

My tip: Sennheiser PC350 pretty expensive but I read only good stuff 'bout it.

Thx for your advices, I have checked your favorites and my first result are: Sennheiser PC350 and Logitech G35: Awesome but too expensive (would rather buy Beyerdynamics MX300  ) Sennheiser PC151/161: The ear cushion is too small for me. I prefer bigger one. It's a pity, bc they have the best microphone ever as I read in some tests. But I notice too, that they haven't enough bass line.  The Medusa has obviously many quality problems. Thats sucks bc it was my favourite after the Roccat Kave. Koss SB45 looks great and it's exellent value for money. Its my insider tip atm. I'm able to get some brands with discount in "my" market. Could buy the Medusa as Stereo for 20€. Or the Kave for 75€ (if it sucks - warranty!). Wherefrom are your informations about the technical problems, Vegas? |

It's not true. Im using a Creative X-Fi Gamer soundcard and a Sennheiser PC151 headset with openai enabled. It's works perfectly, ok, sometimes i hear strange "scratching" sounds but it doesn't disturb me. |

Alternate.de user comments. It's works perfectly, ok, sometimes i hear strange "scratching" sounds but it doesn't disturb me.
OpenAL hardware acceleration doesn't crash ut3 anymore since the audio dll files were patched with the titan pack to don't use the audio chip's ram anymore. But why should that be left unused? xD Now, to use openAL, fucks up some sounds from the spectrum that are available with the generic software settings. (if multiple sound actor classes are played simultaneously or whatever) The spoken annotations as at the beginning of missions interrupt after some time, the sounds of vehicle actions cause errors, weapons fired at the same time create your 'scratching',.... that's what I've noticed and left me looking -.- There is actually a fraud video on youtube that promotes a 30$, extremely superfluous openAL enhancer. |

I also know one Finnish tech forum he frequents with the same name.  Oh and as far as I know he's not a HC overclocker, just another enthusiast like me. I never quite understood extreme overclocking, but I guess there's worse ways to spend money. |
