Cheap sennheiser headphones + a separate mic

I had the Medusa 5.1 but the laptop I switched too didn’t have 5.1 outputs so I went mad and got the Sennheiser HD595 headphones and a £5 mic off Amazon.

I would recommend either.
Although you need to be gentle with the Medusa it really is great for games and movies.

Headphones and separate mic definitely a more versatile proposition.
If you listen to a lot of music you won’t regret spending good money on good cans.

Ok with the Medusa is there anything else i would need? Such as a specific soundboard.

Well yes, as long as your motherboard has 5.1 output you should be fine. If it dosen’t, then I think you need to be spending the money upgrading your PC, not on headphones. :P

I think, that he wants to buy a headset not only for TF2, but for some good quality music, listening or watching movies etc. And TF2 also requires some sound knowledge and quality, to actually hear things from a distance :)

You also pay extra for the quality of the headset itself and you know, if you treat it well, it will work fine even after 5 or more years.

Headsets for tf2?? LOL come on guys this game isn’t counterstrike!

It isn’t??

Crap, was wondering why I couldn’t find my AK.

Joking aside, a good headset and soundcard give you as much an advantage in TF2 as they would in CSS

I use the bose on ear headphones (they cost way too much), worth it though. I listen to a good bit of music so I hear the difference. Then the cheapest usb mic I could find.

not Bose, Skullcandy and what not.

Whys :P

Skullcandy are amazing I dont see why people hate them. Listened to music through them at a friend’s hosue and the quality was amazing.
