Looking for a gaming headset
As the title says, i am looking for a gaming headset with mic. At the moment i am using sony mdr-xd 200, they r uncomfortable for long period of time and has no mic so i am looking for another one. So far i have looked at Logitech percision gaming headset, eDimensional AudioFX Force Feedback Gaming Headset with Mic, and icemat siberia but that was expensive. I am looking for something under $50 cdn.

Do not ever ever touch that Logitech Precision Gaming headset. I have no idea why I bought one a year ago (before I met Head-Fi  ), and the only good thing I can say about it is the mic. That's about it. I'd say the sound is worse than iPod earbuds *shock horror*, sounds like a broken radio. I have no idea why some "reviews" label it as good for gaming, when theres absolutely no bass or positioning/soundstage. It also makes my head hurt just wearing it, literally.

lmao @ the broken radio
003 @ A500 wat?? I quickly googledd it only came up with samsung celly. No headset.
EDIT - nvm i found it, its audio technica rite? Thats way over my budget, 169.99, i said 50
The issue about the e-dimensional that i read on reviews a lot is that it sux with mp3s, and i listen to mp3 too so...

A500
I've also heard good things about the Beyerdynamic DT770-80 but finding them for under $50 canadian will be pretty tough.

the A500 and the Beyerdynamic DT770-80 are expensive for me, i need something cheaper. I am not that picky on audio quality.

On the cheap, I'd recommend a pair of Koss KTXPro1 headphones coupled with a Zalman clipon mike. It should cost around $43 canadian.

What do you mean with fullsize? Headphones which covers the ears? You got one tip, shoudln't performance be more important than how large they are?

ya i mean cover /around the ear, but these look kinda cheap : http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgur...lr%3D%26sa%3DN.
I read a lot of reviews on the e-dimensional one, the only drawback that was mentioned was that mp3 playback quality was not that good. If anyone has tried these and had this issue??
Or if u have any suggestion for fullsize Headsets, it doesnt have to have a mic, because if it doesnt i will just get a Zalman clip-on.

Hey, I have the $40 koss r80 headphones. Only problem with them is they break randomly for no reason(mainly after a few years of use). But I think koss has a good warrenty (if they do, this is a good headphone option for you imo). Other than that, for years I thought these were high-end phones. For the money you pay for it, they are as good as my $225 dt770/80  I used them mainly for fps gaming, so sound location was a key, which the headphone handled well; and strong bass was a must for fun, which this headphone has plenty of. I'm pretty sure you can get it within your asking price range. They also cover your whole ear. I highly recommend these cans. Good luck
