    I am just wondering what gaming headsets everyone uses. I am trying to find a good headset with the following criteria:
    • Compatible with Windows PC/PS3/Ps4
    • 5.1 Surround Sound
    • Audio Mixer/Auxiliary Input
    • Background Noise Cancellation
    • Breakaway Cable
    • Under or Up To $280.
    If your headset meets the criteria, please post below!
    I am considering this headset: http://tinyurl.com/ndon5v5
    Please let me know what you think of it, and any suggestions you may have/link to better ones.
    Thank you for your time! :)

    Don't get 5.1 headset, get cheaper headsets and then let it emulate 5.1. I use skull candy hesh 2s and they work really well. They don't have background noise canceling but they are only $60

    yeah, honestly with a headset I dont think your going to need 5.1 (5 satellites, 1 sub woofer) a 2.0 headset with good drivers will get you the bass and will emulate surround on its own.

    My less than $50 dollar headset is good enough.

    After talking about it with a few people in TeamSpeak, they convinced me to just by the one I listed above. It's great, top quality and I would highly recommend it!
