New Headset

[KillerStickMan]

Well, instead of giving me money for Christmas, my aunt and uncle gave me a $25 gift card to target:cry:. So I've decided to get a headset and I think I've decided on one, but I just want a second opinion.

So if any of you guys have had this one and just think it totally sucks or there's a much better one of target.com please let me know...kthxbai

Those Sony ones might not be brilliant- IMO, Sony go for style over performance . There's a review of the Logitech ones here:

I've been having this headset for years, its comfortable as hell. Really strong too.. its been stepped on, chair has rolled over it, and all I had to do was replace the ear pad. The voice quality is really good, and so is the sound of them. I also cut the wire on accident, could only hear out of 1 ear, and all I had to do to fix it was use some electrical tape.

are you kidding me? i have that exact headset and they aren't even close to comfortable. they hurt your ears after 5 minutes, and the sound quality is really poor too.

Thanks, those look pretty good and I trust Logitech more than I trust Sony. So I think I'll be going with those when they come in(they come in in 2 to 6 weeks ).

I personally don't like headphones/headsets that wrap around your ears, I find them to be uncomfortable.

you have to have the right shaped ear for it to work

TBH, your best bet is to go to a shop where you can try them on- it really depends on the shape of your head, whether or not you where glasses (Which are apparently uncomfortable with the logitech) etc.
