Gaming Headsets. ( Turtle Beach , Triton , ect. )

deadpoolRKO · 05-13-2011, 08:56 AM

I recently bought Triton AX 180's. I was skeptical at first at the idea of all the TV sound and the mic coming through my headphones , but when i game late at night my mom and step dad are asleep and they're directly across the hall , & I've woken them up before so i have to play with my TV down which really sucks.

but now that I have my Triton's i really enjoy them.

How many of you use / have used a gaming headset like a Triton or Turtle Beach & what are your thoughts on them ?

The problem with a lot of gaming headsets is they do not have noise canceling. I have the Creative fatal1ty headset for my computer, and I noticed that other people can clearly hear what I'm listening to. It's not really a big deal for me since I'm usually by myself, but it really is an issue for others.

I've heard that too. The Triton's i use don't have it either , but they have a mute button , and seperate mic and game volume so i don't hear many ppl complain about it most people i play with keep themselves muted unless they need to talk

Yeah I tend to go the caveman route and use the mute button...

Do they even make noise cancelling headset??? I have never heard of any yet??

If you're playing online games without speaking, you're missing pretty much the entire point of it. Probably need to get some friends.

idk if you're talking to me or redeemer but the point of the mute button for me is when playing games like Socom 4 there's an open mic system and people on the other team can hear what comes through your mic if they're close enough to your character.

but have you ever tried a gaming headset , P ?

can i call you P ? I feel like we've gotten close enough that i can call you P.

I have only used Ear Force XLC Turtle Beach's and they are great. I would get a step higher up with X11. While these good headsets are great for hearing foot steps and all that, but I would rather hear that through the speakers. I guess it would be great if you plan to be doing this professionally or in a clan, but I use a simple Wireless Headset and all is good.
