Not really a question but more of a couple of comments about headphones.
I used a headphone set that used the dual connectors and once aftyer getting up quickly from my puter desk i tripped over the cord. This yanked the jacks outa the connecting holes and ruined my soundcard by causing an electrical short between the connections. Since my sound was onboard i thought i may be up for at least an addon soundcard or at worst a new motherboard.
I got round it by buying a USB headphone and mic set.
I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has awesome sound quality compared to the standard connections and if i trip over the cable the usb just falls out of the socket. NO DAMAGE!

Hi, the headphones I buy come with 12 months waranty, they are normally broke before then, (just stop working right), like only one ear getting sound. I take them back and get them replaced under waranty
6 times so far. though I bought the last pair as the wire was nearly cut thru buy disk drive draw closing on it a few times lol. (mines are the normal conections, two plugs at rear of PC.)

Waranty rules different in the US ?? lol or AUS ?

cya


PS, Tip.........don't walk away with headset still on
and don't drink or eat with the mic close to your mouth Mic's don't like drinks

You pay for what you get. The cheaper it is...

I hope to rid myself of all these problems. I use my mobile(Cell) phone alot, its bluetooth and I have a headset for it, wonderful thing it is too.

I am planning to get a new one because it is getting a bit old and the battery is nearly shot......

....so I started thinking I could get a bluetooth dongle for my comp, use my hedsaet for that.


Then a voice in my head(my friend actually, just like to be dramatic) told me about a usb headset.....i wondered.......

The God of all Blutooth

I would have to give up stereo sound but man the wireless thing would be so great, and I would kill two birds with one stone, headset for my comp and phone!

I have seen this but I dont know if it works with a computer, coud use my iPod with it though....that be sweeeeettttt!!!!!!!!!


PS. If anyone knows if you can use the pulsar headset with the computer please email/pm/post, it would be great thanks.

Hey Nifty, As a free service to you. Me and Wendy will remind you, not to trip and fall whenever she is on teamspeak.

I always buy good headsets,but they dont last vary long.I get mad and throw them and after that,they never seem to work right.
Just like with my Nike drivers in my golf bag,thier good for one good throw,and after that forget it.

[cowhead_cow]

lol, I have had a lot of bad experiences with headphones. I have broken probably 10 pairs, and 1 was eaten by my dog.

Nice new avatar Boon, although I don't have a clue who it is

Well here is a thought. Minus the extra cord u might be able to use the usb headphones wirelessy using wireless usb but i am not sure about loss of quiality. Anywhoo on a side note. USB ports dont like non usb headphone being put in. Tried it accidently and my computer flipped the front usb breaker. Who knew. So in other words watch what u put in where.
