As I have to use headphones for racing almost every time I thought getting a better one than I have now. I now have some neverheard make and after few hours of playing my ears start to hurt because the headphones lack of any adjusting abilities. I guess I have a big head

Does anyone know what would be a good set? It has to be wireless, I find it A LOT better than the wired one. I guess it would be a good investment too for getting one with a microphone too. Is there any surround headphones with a sensible pricetag?

I have a set of speedlink medusa 5.1 headphones - not wireless i'm afraid but they are fantastic, the bass is quite scary

The wireless 5.1's i tried when i was buying my current ones werent much good, you would probably have to pay above £70 for some decent ones

Those Speedlink's sound excellent, thanks for the info. But I really need wireless ones because I will use them also for watching TV at nighttime... I guess this one will be expensive

Is there a wireless version of that Speedlink? I looked two electronics shops at here and all they sell is pretty much standard headphones. Have to order them anyway from some online shop.

I was thinking by the way that would it be better to buy headphones without microphone and buy a separate desktop mic instead?

Desktop mics are annoying, they pick up sound from the surrounding environment. Don't try it with a FFB wheel that makes a noise, gets very annoying. Headset mics are much better.

Ah you're right. Didn't realise that at all!

Metalstar, how long is the cord in your Medusa set? Quick thinking made me realise that the bucks I save getting a wired version is worth of the troubles

Speed-Link Medusa 5.1 ProGamer Edition: 76 euros. From where I can order that set...

I bought this headphones I'm using which have a mic for about 29kr, that's under 3 euros lol. Works great.

I have a 7.1 surround sound card and a 5.1 DTS Dolby receiver - Headphones worth of 3 euros will not do

Hahaha

The cable on my speedlinks is about 3metres, probably a bit more.

I dont think they do a wireless version yet. I cant find any decent looking 5.1 wireless headphones on the net! Just get the speedlinks and cut the wire off with a pair of scissors . .

it might be possible to rig up a transmitter of some sort like they do with guitars, but i dont know of any that will transmit a 5.1 signal.

Thanks for all the info, as soon I get some money I'll order the Speedlink Medusa 5.1 set

Jesus, what a great product! My head is full of bass

Thanks Metalstar, next time we meet the beers are on me.

Glad you like them Handyy, The bass is incredible isnt it

Strangely, if you listen to some light music with them on they massage you to sleep. lol

I'll definately take you up on the beer offer

Ive got a nice Logitech USB headset. Cant remember the exact model, but they were about £20 to buy. Not wireless unfortunately, but the sound is great for a relatively cheap set and they have held up pretty well!
