I am looking at 3 different sets headphones. Which of you have these and would you buy them again? Also, USB or analog? I do NOT have a sound card. My sound is currently on board. I have analog Creative Fatality right now, and I really do not hear things around me that well....especially people creeping up behind me. That is the main reason I am looking to get new cans. Anyway, I am looking at these 3: SteelSeries Siberia v2 for $60 http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Siberia-Full-Size-Gaming-Headset/dp/B003N636VI/ref=pd_cp_e_0 HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset $65 http://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Gaming-Headset-KHX-H3CLW/dp/B00KX3TLF4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 Good old Logitech G35 - $90 http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-7-1-Channel-Surround-Sound-Headset/dp/B001O5CCQK/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1PPR6GMMFV0KC3GEDXEF Any advice would be appreciated. You can voter above if you like. I think that any of these would be good. I think I am leaning toward the Logitech, but the HyperX look good and I know a lot of you swear by the SteelSeries. Thanks!!

Do you have a sound card or do you use onboard sound? The Logitech has a USB, so they have their own processor and I would not need a sound card. I don't plan to get one. Would these still work as well as the USB headphones?? And do you have a sound card?? Awards

All brands have their flaws and weaknesses but some seem to work better for different folks. I have a broken G930, and 430 and to many to count. At the present I have a Corsair 1500 and it has good quality sound and has been pretty durable but it has a problem that when I accidentally mute it on the cord it mutes in as a setting so to unmute it I have to open up the sound and select mic then levels to unmute it. Why? I have no freaking reason that I know of! So do your homework and you just may find the right ones for you! Edited December 12, 2014 by BigPapaDean Awards
