I'm in need of a pair of headphones for serious gaming on my Mac. I've narrowed my choice down to the following but I'm finding it really difficult to choose between the Sennheiser PC165's, M145's (Mac version of the PC145) and the Plantronics DSP-500 PC Headset.
Does anyone know of any conflicts with the Mac OS on the PC designed head sets with the USB connection, Also, will they be ok to use with VOIP? All advice welcome... A frustrated Gamer!!!  |

Plantronics is probably one of the biggest names in headphones but my experience with them was dismal.
1 set broke after a few months and the other had horrible noise cancellation properties for the mic. My current cheapo Altec Lansing for %10 the cost has outperformed either of the much more expensive Plantronics I had. My biggest recommendation would be not buy any headphones without being able to try them on for comfort 1st. If your a big time gamer you will probably be wearing these for hours at a time. I've read lots of reviews where the biggest complaint was comfort. -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |
