So yesterday I was talking to my brother and he asked what I wanted as a present for my birthday :p

If you've read the name of the topic you know what I'm going to ask for. Problem is, I have not even the slightest idea what a good gaming headset is, so I would like to ask for your help. It has to be:

a) large, because I have a goddamn big head and big ears;
b) cheap, because I don't wanna look greedy;
c) long-cabled, because my PC cables are kind of a mess and it's not in a very good position

Sound quality, of course, needs to be good as well.

I advise you to read through this topic: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=5902&hilit=steelseries

Lots of good suggestions there (Except the F4talities).

Oh, thanks, looked at both the Fatal1ties and the Steelseries(which are actually quite expensive). Probably gonna go with the cheaper option

Buy F4talities and you'll regret it the rest of your life.

Just tried my old ones again and it felt awful after my 5H V2's. Just don't do it.

The difference is, I'll probably never be able to compare them, so, compared to my 5-year-old Philips headphones, they'll be awesome

I'd rather be headphoneless or limit my eating for a month to get enough money for Steelseries headphones than put up with F4talities for perhaps many years.

This man speaks the truth, unfortunately.

I will stick to my Sennheiser still though, even if they are not the cheapest :3

SteelSeries Siberia V2's are excellent! However for long session gaming (and I mean v long session) + glasses are a bit uncomfortable for me as the constant pressure on my glasses begin to ache my ears.

I guess you don't like the F4talities then.

Your criticism of them is very harsh, and i would like to offer the other side of the argument

I for one love them, and every headset thread seems to end up with the same Steelseries vs Fatality debate.

I've used the Fatalities for nearly 2 years now, and have never had any problems, the sound quality is excellent for the price, they're comfy, and pretty durable. Mine have been used every day since i bought them, and i'm only on my second pair because Big Baller broke my first set in a drunken stupor.

Having said that the Steelseries are obviously better, a fact which is clearly shown by the price difference, so if you have the wonga, go for them. If not then the Fatalities are a great alternative.
