Author Topic: What Headset? (Read 1128 times)

RADsters,

OK, OK, so I am hooked like the foetus of a Sheffield Crackwhore......

..... And now my OCD is taking over!

I have a Tioga Beartrap 2 on a build, and I have a Tange MX on an older build, and now I want to pimp my next build..... so what is it to be?

What's your favourite Headset?

Should I stick with the tried and trusted, or try something a little different?

I am currently looking at these two because they are a little different:

But ultimately it has to work, and work well....

Any input gladly received!

Thanks,

Clean.

Always used a Beartrap 2 BITD, but have a choice between that and an MX-2 for my new build.

Leaning more towards the Beartrap but that could all change.

i have a connect 3 headset but the cups were too small for the frame, i used other cups but had to grind the outside of one to get the cap with the connect 3 sticker to fit over it. works like a beartrap 2 headset tho.
