Sennheiser PC140 Gaming Headset - $17.99 shipped

[Z80]

I bought these about 3 months ago and my CS kill ratio improved by over 20%!
Now I can really talk some trash.

 

[MetalMat]

If anyone is interested, they have the pc150's for about $35 but charge over $9 shipping . If you add the pc140's at $18 and select ups ground the total order ships free.

I used to be a hardcore gamer, cashing out at many CPL's and WCG's for Counter-Strike. I've used all the Plantronics headphones, 70-90's and even DSP-500. Currently I own a pair of Sennheiser pc150's which is the same thing as the pc140 except the different band style. And all I gotta say is Sennheiser is way better quality than plantronics, even the DSP's. Sennheiser has been making professional audio mics and headphones for so long now. If you really wanna hear quality headphones try their high end stuff. As far as computer gaming goes, these are an awesome pair of headphones, and at that price you can't beat, i wish mine were that cheap. BTW this is the only review you need on these headphones

I don't want to crap thread because this is an awesome deal. You wont find the pc-140s for any lower price right now. The only complaint i have is that the pc-140s and pc-150s arent the same they have different freq. responses.

 

[Dynamix3D]

just picked up a set. I hope they are as good as everyone says. I mean they don't look anything special, but since all you guys are saying they kickass I went and bought a pair. I guess you can't go wrong for $17.99 shipped.

 

[gi0rgi0]

Got mine today. Very cool. And they sound nice. Oh yeah, comfortable to.

 

[demenion]

go ahead and ordered a set for ventrilo/teamspeak..

it was $2 more tho.. 19.99 shipped

 

[imported_kkcleung]

hrmm
why is it called a gaming headset?

does it not work well with music.. or what's so special about it?

 

[NinjaGnome]

damn hotdeals people making me spend money.

 

[mechsiah]

Gaming headset has mic built in.

 

[imported_kkcleung]

are these half-decent for music?

 

[RossMAN]

Don't forget to download the free VOIP application Skype and contact other AT'ers

 

[imported_kkcleung]

so would you recommend these for listening to MP3s...?(192Kbps)

 

[mechsiah]

Well, I haven't heard them, so I wouldn't recommend them- yet.

Try and find some reviews for them. I am only buying them for gaming because I seem to crunch a pair every time I go to a LAN party.

 

[Bullhonkie]

I'm in for two. Girlfriend and I could use them for online gaming.

 

[mscdex0]

alright, who resurrected this old thread?

Quality is excellent (way better then my Plantronics Audio 70's), comfortable too. The microphone quality is excellent (people noticed a big different on ventrilo and ingame (CS mostly with sv_quality 5 and ingame codec changed)

I did have to RMA them once. I had a problem with the wire, the sound was cutting in and out so I had to RMA it, got a replacement within 2 weeks. (Their HQ is in Connecticut and I'm in SoCal)

I'd definately purchase one, but I just spent ~450 on 2 PSP's (well not yet, but once they release it and it ships)

/// edit ///
They even fit great over my glasses

You need to be on their payroll...thanks to you I just bought one...
