Must say for music i have never ever loved anything more than the Turbine: Monster "In-Ear speakers." And for drumming i use Sennheiser HD 465, great bass in them.

However this was very exciting to read about thanks for giving us this review i might go out and test one. Continue writing reviews Carolyn!

if you want real headphones buy Beyer-Dynamic

Are these being sold through regular retailers or can you only get them through NOX audio?

I, like most others, appreciate the knowledgeable review, especially since I exclusively use headphones on my PC.

The "holy grail" for me would be a good set of of 5.1 (or better, 7.1) headphones that don't break the bank. The 7.1 can be virtual as long as it's reproduced well.  The head set that I have now (ABS  AZ-1) has actually given me a blister on each ear.  It doesn't get much more uncomfortable than this.

Great review, as usual, Carolyn.  Keep 'em coming!

I've always mostly despised headsets, but I've been needing something decent, and portable...

Carolyn, is there any way you can test the clarity of the microphone?  

Thanks in advance!

Voices were clear through game sound but perhaps I didn't make that clear in my review. As for measurable clarity tests... you and other posters have me thinking.  I'll have to tap a recording engineer friend for help.

Cheers.

I need a headset with a replaceable micro. And more important, it should play music like this loud. Not only today, it should survive for a while.

My Fatality-headset is dying daily, so I need to buy a new one.

Microphone is not abbreviated with "mike" it's abbreviated with "mic".  And for someone who's a correspondence for this type of thing and suppposed to be some type of professional, I would expect you to know the difference between the headphone jack and the microphone jack.  I couldn't read any further than that, because I thought I would nitpick the entire article and I just don't have time for that.

The articles here do tend to read like they've been written in a rush. I've always wondered about that, myself.  However, there is good information in the article in spite of the grammar.

You seem to be out of sorts today and ill informed.  Just to wake you up to the fact that a lot of posters on this forum don't have English as their native language so most of us make allowances.  If you look closely you entered misspelled words also.  The old pot calling the kettle black.

If you nitpick that article how do you read anything? It was one of the better articles I have read lately!

And I would expect you to know the difference between "correspondence" and "correspondent." I couldn't read any further than that, because I thought I would nitpick your entire post and I just don't have time for that.
