Figure we can talk and compare things that we use when gaming.

I am currently in the market for a new headset, so if anyone has an recommendations that won't make me go completely broke that would be awesome to hear.

About a year ago I bought a 100 GB hard drive, it currently had all three bioshocks, assassins creed 2, borderlands 2, dark souls, minecraft, and a smattering of arcade games. And it's not even half full

I have been thinking about getting a wireless external drive to set up as a house media system. That way my sisters can just access that when they want some of the movies that I have managed to....acquire.

Do it, if it's 100 or more GB you will never run out of room, and that only cast me $50 like two years ago, you could get double that now, maybe triple for the same price.

I can get a 1 or 2 terabyte ExHD here for about $100 - $150 AUD. They have gotten really cheap.

As for headsets, I go Bose, noise cancelling, wireless kind. And I have never looked back.

Just sticking my oar in, 'cause gaming...

That depends. I've seen them for as cheap as $200 AUD. I would say that average price new would be about $400 AUD. So, expensive but worth it in the end.

The website says anywhere between $400 and $500 AUD. Not cheap.

Yeah here they are like $250 USD, though I am not sure if it is the same kind that you got. However, the reviews for them make me want to save up the money and get them as an investment.

Everything is more expensive here. They're probably at least similar.

If you're willing to go for the price range of $250 USD, then I HIGHLY suggest a pair of Astro A40s. They are used by a lot of pro gamers, especially COD players so that's how I got turned onto them.

PROs:
-SUPER comfortable. Very soft, fabric-y ear cups that cover yo' ears.
-Multi-platform, this headset works flawlessly with Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
-High quality chat communication--very good audio quality when used on console.
-Mix amp allows control on in game audio and balance between voice volume.
-4 EQ modes to use for shooter games and movies, for example.
-Mic is removable so you can use the headset as headphones if you so desire. It also folds so you can wear it comfortably around your neck when not in use.
-Comes in all sorts of designs, and different colors depending on where you order.
-GREAT support from the Astro Staff.

CONs:
-The price is high, but it's worth it especially if you're looking to sound-whore in video games and such, but still a great buy if you're looking for quality.
-The time it takes to arrive if you don't buy it in store.
-Because there's a mix amp, there are four different wires. An optical cable for your console, a power cable for the mix amp (both of these are in the back). In the front is the cable that runs to your headset, with a mute switch and also your chat cable which goes directly from your mix amp to your controller if you're using an xbox. For PC you do not need the mix amp, just the headset and its cord.
-Doesn't work with phones. Plugging in the jack from the headset isn't enough--you need this lil' splitter they include with your headset, like you would use for a computer, and unfortunately phones only have the one jack.
-Though the headset is adjustable and fits snuggly on your head, I for whatever reason like mine a little loose, so if I bend my head down for a short time I can feel the headset slip just so. It still stays on my head, but I think this is more of a personal problem ha.

That's about all I can think of atm. After using this headset I honestly wouldn't go any other way if you're shopping for gaming/skype/netflix date purposes. If you're looking for crazy audio quality at an affordable price then I would suggest the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. It's $119 on Amazon, and they are super good.

I don't think I could do all the wires. Either a single wire or wireless is what I need. I have too many little people who want to run around in front of my while I game to have wires running all over the place lol

Then the next best thing would be Astro A50s, which are completely wireless, but they're $300. :(

A quick Google search says about $80 USD. Could be wrong though.
