Apparently lots of static and it is a bit annoying to teammates. And I don't want to get muted anymore than I already have. It is kinda like being married, she doesn't listen to me either. I have an older Sennheiser U320 USB gaming headset/mic. So I unplugged it, plugged it back in, rebooted. Still same issue. So think it is time for a new one. In an ideal world I would prefer in ear earbuds with an attached mic and connected thru USB. I can't find anything that is USB, but I found this Razer Blackshark V2 USB headset on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0B7KKD78B/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&th=1 Price is right, reviews are OK. Any comments and or suggestions. Awards

Thanks Crack. Thanks for the suggestions. I found the Gamecon 818 on eBay but with shipping it is more than the Razer. And I found the Razer at a local electronics store. I think they have a 30 day return policy so I am going to give the Razer a try. I will report back and maybe with new headphones I can channel some Crack like kills.

I'm with Shadow running JBL Quantum 810 wireless USB christmas got them half price only issue is the preset tone is just abit too bassey had to lower volume to stop ears ringing after using them an adjust the equilizer to my liking (too powerful) and Noise Cancelling that kills sound of the fans running outside of headset, are durable for sat on them an survived. Note: 7.1 surround is a gimic for the ear cups need more than 1 driver per cup, 1990's forgot model of true surround headset Plantronics that had 6 drivers per cup, they were heavy to ware. shame that Plantronics left the gaming world and sold out to Polycom who lost old school values and cater to biz world. if can go to local computer store to test run a pair do so Shadow 1 Awards
