But my eyes popped out of my head when I saw some of the prices :).

£45 - £219 :o
Don't look on the manufacturers website. They have their own "recommended" prices, you can always get a product cheaper at most stores or on the internet.

Code: Select all

I use the Audio Technika BPHS1 along with a Behringer X1204USB mixer. Very nice headset.

They look good. Please give us an update once you've used them for a bit. I'd be interested to hear what you think of them.

So it'd be great if you guys had some recommendations :)...
It depends on what you want it for.

For myself, the best headset I have ever used was a Logitech USB headset made to be used with a PC or a Playstation 2. Dependable, great mic, nice controls, never any system/driver issues at all, compatible with everything I used, always recognized, great fidelity for a one-ear speaker and boom combo. Lightweight and comfortable.

But, they're no longer made, I don't think... :(

For PC, which I don't use in that way very much, I have a Plantronics collapsible setup, mainly for sticking in my laptop bag. (Plantronics has always been dependable, for me. But, I don't need hi-def sound. They've mfr'd call-center stuff for ages. Good PBX phones, too.)

So I've been using it for a few months now and I really like it:-

* excellent sound quality
* very comfortable to wear
* s/w is easy to use (not even sure I had to use any!) which is a complete contrast to Logitech
* excellent build quality (really, really good)

The one thing I don't like about it is that the cable has a micro-USB join in it, which I worry is a little fragile. Though it might be designed that way to protect more vulnerable parts of the headset / PC connectivity.
I can't breathe.
