Been using hs-1000 headset for 4-5 years.

And yesterday I decided it was time to get an upgrade, so I bought some Corsair 1500 and well....huge dissapointment.

1) They are heavy
2) The software used is weak compared to the X-FI CMS3D panel from ceative.
3) Gets hot and uncomfortable after 1 hour of gaming.
4) The sound for gaming/music/movies is inferior to the HS-1000.

Maybe I got used to the software from creative, but, what will be a good upgrade?

Is it worth to get a Refurb Titanium sound blaster x-fi sound card($49) and_

1) Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Alpha ($49)
2) Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma ($69)
3) Samson SR850 ($49)

or a normal headphone?


note. If possible, a small/lightweight headset like the hs-1000...I don't care about color or shape/aesthethics.

It must have a similar bass to the HD-1000 from Creative. I was looking into AD700 in cimbination with the Titanium sound card but people say the AD700 will still lack bass even with the bass boost and all those things coming from the soundcard. In terms of bass, it should be at least what I get from hs-1000...because the sound of the hs-1000 for $49 is far superior than the Corsair 1500.

cheers!
