Help! My daughter, who loves gaming, goes through headsets quite quickly. Can anyone recommend which brand and model to buy. I don't have a lot of money, but the really inexpensive headsets only seem to last a few months and therefore seem to be a poor value. I'm looking for something rugged that will last longer than an 0bama promise and will work on a Windows 7 PC.
How old is your daughter? I bet if you put her young A$$ to work and she had to PAY for these headsets then she would take care of them and they would last MUCH longer
So sorry, I meant to send this to “reg45”.
I know most people are not able to buy the Sony Wireless or Bose headset(which I have) and that’s why I recommend the cheapies.
I don’t like the cheapies because they put the sound directly into my ear and after a while they hurt.
I prefer to hear the sound globally and headsets with earmuffs provide a better sound.
I also have the advantage of standing off of the TV and on a 80” I need to be at least 8 feet away to take in the scenery.
I went through a bunch of headphones until I found a brand and model that didn’t self destruct after a few months. I think it is related to poor design and quality control.
I am not sure how much she is using headsets but I know there is concern about hearing loss and the use of headsets and high volume.....maybe the following article could help you....
