Title: looking for new gaming/wireless headset
Post by: Furiously on January 09, 2007, 06:12:11 PM
I'm currently using the headset that came with guildwars for my gaming. Looking for something wireless with a microphone. Any suggestions?

I'm starting to think I need to get into a certain business.

Wireless audio sucks. Ookii uses something or another. But there's 2 things I have NO interest in having wireless. Audio and Video. Now, you might say "that's not true Schild, you hate wireless mice and keyboards." Yes, I do, it's because they suck for any competitive gaming RIGHT NOW. I could see them getting ok. Audio and video though? Neg.

I don't plan to use them for competitive gaming. I plan to use them so I can get up from my desk and grab a smoke and hear if something starts attacking me.

Oh, see, instead of getting Wireless headphones, I stopped playing MMORPGs. It solved that problem right fast.

I concur. I noticed the 'problem' when someone would come over and I was in a dangerous area/middle of combat. I'd run to the door, fling it open, and run back up the stairs. They'd instantly know I was mmo'ing. So much nicer to just hit pause and actually act like a normalish person instead of a mmotard.

I ignored this thread at first because I just didn't know of any wireless headsets I could recommend and I figured saying so would be kinda pointless. If I'd known it would stagnate for so long I'd have piped up, 'cause thinking your thread is being ignored kinda sucks. :P

They look a bit cheese though.

My 2GHz airspace is rather cramped already, what's wrong with IR?

IR probably wouldn't work for Furiously since those need line-of-sight.

You are saying Furiously is out of sight?

I know I am out of my mind...(I think Signe ate it).

It might be a moot issue actually. I'm debating moving my computer to a new room in the house that would be much more condusive to smoking with a long cord :)

Or you could just stop smoking and alienating the hell out of all your party members who have to wait around with their thumbs in their asses while you chase the nicotine dragon.
