Kane99 Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 I'd say I've gone through a ton of headsets at this point. I used to have to get a new pair a lot when I gamed on my 360. These days I have a hyperx headset that I got during black friday. It works good enough. But back in the day I maybe purchased 5-8 headsets alone for the 360. I had to replace a couple on the Xbox One as well. But the one before my hyperx still work, and I owned it for a few years now. How many would you guess you've gone through?
Empire Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Aren't many in fact, the headphones that I use everyday for gaming is an old Astro A40, the full set 🙂 Around a good eight years now since I got it back in 2013 or maybe 2012. Even that it has been fixed many times by glueing it.
The Blackangel Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 Here soon I will be on my second. I would still be on my first if our fucking dog hadn't decided that it was a chew toy.
Darth Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 None but that's because I don't actually have any dedicated gaming headsets. Since I play on the PS5 and Series X, I just use some normal earphones to play with. The sound from them is pretty good and the microphone is good enough when needed. I've gone through a few of them but thats because they've stopped working (one of the earphones stops working etc.)
Family sedan Posted December 12, 2021 Posted December 12, 2021 I've only ever had one that broke and I threw it away. I used it to watch DVDs and listen to CDs, not for gaming.

I think HyperX were a clone company trying to compete with Astro headsets, but I could be wrong. 9 hours ago, Darth said: None but that's because I don't actually have any dedicated gaming headsets.

Yeah with newer consoles, you can pretty much pluc in a standard pair of earbuds or a headset and heard the audio from the console. It's how I sometimes watch tv and game on my Xbox One if I have family over and it's late. 🙂
Razor1911 Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 The only I had and still have is BoAT immortal gaming headset. It's good, cheap and does the work quite well. The quality is good and it's already 3 years now for me, and it's going well.
The Blackangel Posted December 13, 2021 Posted December 13, 2021 I have a black and gold Zelda edition headset that I had forgotten about until a day or two ago. It works great for recording with games, or just playing in general.

When I found out flight simulator was coming out for the Series X, I jut had to get one so I did. I got it through the All Access thing they have where you pay it off monthly though. That seems to be the only way to get a hold of one at the moment.
Justin11 Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 I only have one for my PS3, I never really purchased slot for consoles. I use headsets via my smart phones, and also used an MP3 player headset.
Heatman Posted December 15, 2021 Posted December 15, 2021 It should be about 3 headsets for me till now, and if you add the one's which I purchased for my siblings and cousins, that should be around 7 headsets.
Head_Hunter Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Mine is one, which is the current option I'm using for my PS4 console. I use headsets but not console type.
Boblee Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Personally, I'm not really that much of a big fan when it comes to playing with gaming headsets. It's only 2 that I have ever played with till date.
