Suggestions for headphone/mic combo for Teamspeak?

djm68 · Feb 19, 2020

I'd like to start venturing into some of the RD online events. Reading the rules, using Teamspeak is a must. Currently, I use headphones for driving. Looking for something that provides good sounds quality and has a reliable mic. Generally, I avoid Bluetooth as it often seems more trouble than it is worth, but open to suggestions.

Thanks,
DJM

It's not a must but strongly advised

Teamspeak helps to make the communication between drivers much smoother.

I am using a Sennheiser headset when gaming but for chatter on teamspeak and such simple earplugs with a mic do the job as well. Few bucks at a local store

I'm using a Logitech G933 Artemis Spectrum Headset.
Really happy with quality overall.

Check out Beyerdynamic, they have some solid headsets ! I am using the MMX300 for many years now and still love it.

Purchased this headset on the recommendation of @David DeGreef, comfortable and good sound.

Just a quick follow-up on my experience with the G933 after using it steadily for almost three months.

The headsets get the job done -- sound is good, mic works. However, there are several downsides to this headset:

They are *heavy* , really heavy -- I watched a review on youtube and the reviewer said they were light?! 375g/13oz!
They are too tight -- they squeeze my head, which I think they do since they are so heavy.
Logitec Ghub software suite is bloated -- all that software just for headphones?
Mic is fine -- it works, but there are better options in same/lower price bracket
Mic positioning is very limited
The battery saving feature puts the headphones to sleep and it is annoy/difficult to fine the power button to wake then back up.
RGB...not a fan of RGB. Silly.
clunky, plastic look and feel -- just a lot of plastic to make it look 'cool'

On the bright side

The wireless function worked out of the box without adjustments and has been reliable
Sound quality is good

I will continue to use them for a while, but will likely look for something that is lighter and has a better mic. If i need to go wired to have a lighter headset, I might just go that route.
