If it's honesty you want then there's only one choice The Pulse Elite i have two sets now my Daughter and myself best headset I owned todate, so good my Daughter had me get a set for her. Too many options to list what can be done with them but you will be very pleased. One set is over a year old the other close to a year now..Have not had ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL... And we both game alot WOW, Neverwinter,Diablo3 also Sniper and star craft all work great no flaws at all. So there it is now it's up to you? and those are only a few games I've tried with them good luck..

A wireless headset works perfectly. I bought a Plantronics CS540 that comes with the handset lifter at a great price on Amazon and it is absolutely awasome!!A wired headset could also plug in but the sound was muffled.

Another brand may work, but my experience is that other brands may not work well or consistantly. I have used Plantronics for years, for work and at home. I believe if you can get a Plantronics Headset you'll see that any cost difference is worth it.

The plug in attachment is different,and the quality of headset varies a lot as well as the price,personally I like audio technica headsets.

Hi "Scruffy", I have seen the Beats headset in stores, but haven't compared it with mine. I can say, I really like Purity Pro. The battery performance is so good that I forget to charge it as it goes weeks on a charge. I did get a chance to compare the set to a Bose headset in their store with their generated airplane noise. The Purity Pro came second, but I am not complaining. The one issue I have is that my callers complain about the microphone catching noise on the street when things seem calm to me. Hope I provided some useful details for you.

Thank you very, very much for all the help. The annoying chime is history, thanks to you. I'm sorry to have taken so long to get back to you, but I will explore the wireless headset option. I already have 2 types of headsets, but no wireless.

This is going to be totally unhelpful, but every fiber of my being compels me to warn you that Creative Tactic headphones are garbage. The best wireless (and surround to boot) headset I've ever used is the Logitech G930. The sound quality is bar none, and they're pretty cheap now.

I would suggest the 363D for surround sound, otherwise I would stick with the 350 (I really like these headsets).

I work in NYC and have to talk over the traffic and sirens. I have used an older jawbone that isn't great; I've also used the plantronics 875 which was good - the sliver wasn't bad but I now use the Bose which is a bit more money but very good.

The CM storm is true surround with multiple speakers per ear cup, the Skullcandy is digital surround, with only speaker per cup so the CM sirus provides better more correct 3d positional sound. I only breifly used the Skullcandy 7.1's at a store as a demo they were comfortable, I dont know how they would be after long gaming sessions or after watching a movie but my initial impression was the sound was good they were comfortable, but damn expensive. Ive owned tons of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach (junk) skullcandy (good) Alienware (ok) Logitech (ok) and the SM sirus blows them all out of the water, the build quality is phenominal the soldering and wiring is top notch, the screws and picot points on the headset are way overengineered to make sure they last, there is metal reinforcing every stress point and after almost a year of use they are as good as new. Most of my headsets especially turtle beach require some sort of fix after 3-6 months then a major fix at about 9 months then at the 1 year mark I have to replace them. I cant speak to the longevity of that particular skullcandy headset but the Skullcandy headset i did own (cant remeber the model number) lasted me about a year, then a speaker gave out and I tried to fix them but the speaker was just toast. I will never buy another set of headphones other that the CM Storm Sirus or equivelant set from CM. They are the most comfortable and best made gaming headphones ive ever used. The only headphones Ive got that sound better ar Bose Proffessional Studio headphones that cost like $600. but they dont have a mic. The CM Sirus Headset at less than $100 is a steal, I would be happy with these headphones if they were just as much as teh Skullcandy 7.1's. I say forget the skullcandy set and get the CM Sirus, or something similar from CM in wireless if thats a big deal for you

I have the wireless beats in Gold and have the m50x. yes the m50x sound better but for working out and running around Im always with the beats. They do look good especially if you get the gold and have blond hair. People are always asking me about them so i think its more of a fashion accessory. The bright side is if u bang the beats around at the gym and bring them to the apple store they can replace them 10 months later.

Thanks for responding and commenting on this headset. I will definitely get one.

USB, if you are doing FPS games and need to locate the direction of noise, shots, airplanes overhead etc.; this headset is not the one you should buy. Logitech makes a better headset for that purpose and has better surround sound. I own both brands and you should read the reviews on Logitech top models.

Trust me Adam, you can find much better than this. It's EXTREMELY overpriced for what it is. The drivers in this headset are the same ones used in $20 headphones. Take a look at these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826465003&nm;_mc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r&cm;_mmc=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r-_-Headsets+++Accessories-_-AZIO+Corporation-_-N82E16826465003&scpid;=22&scid;=scsho5454402

Personally, I don't own a PS4.Steel Series reports the Siberia Elites as Playstation compatible.http://faq.steelseries.com/questions/540/With+what+devices+are+SteelSeries+headsets+compatible%3FAlso, if comfort is an issue (Siberia Elites tend to be a bit "snug"). Take a look at the new v3 Siberia Elite Prism headsets.http://steelseries.com/us/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-elite-prismThey're going to cost more since they're a brand new offering. But the word is, the fit on the new headset is more relaxed. Leading to fewer headaches from headset "clutch".Hope this feedback helps!

The best headphone for gaming is hands down the $135 AD700/AD700x. By far. Nothing else comes close. Not even $400+ headphones. I'd honestly be surprised if a $1000k headset could match it.I read that the $200 q701 was a close 2nd. So I tried it. If I didn't know better I would have said the q701 was a $60 headset, and the ad700 was a $1000 in comparison.
