Wireless or wired 7.1 headset HELP

[syfer1987]

Hi ok so I need a head set and im in the market for 7.1 headset. I also need a good mic as well that is built in to headset as I plan on doing some video tutorial but I need a good mic with headset.

What is this head set going to be used for movies,games and tv shows and me be music.

I read that it better to have a wired solution but for my set up I think I would need an extension wire just to use it so I might go with Wireless?

As for my correct set up well im a wireless person all my gear wireless as I have my pc hooked up to 50inch plasma tv so I thought of a wireless headset would be amazing but I have read a bit mixed review out there so I have come here in search for help.

Hi might try this Sennheiser PC 363D

what do you think?

It meets all the audio specs. It is not wireless, however, that is really a personal choice. My own sense is that wired might be a bit more reliable. It's hard to beat Sennheiser for value.

Wired. I've noticed you don't get a true surround sound with wireless and anytime I've had wireless there's more interference then wired.

I use a MLG px22 turtle beach for console, pc, and mobile. It's not 7.1 but it's phenomenal audio and gives you a lot functionally and control.

I do have a Razer Kraken which is 7.1 and its got great sound and a retractable mic but just no way to control bass, mic, etc...

I love Wireless, using the Logitech G930 but I can understand inteference issues.

I tried a couple different wireless and I decided that the cables were worth the mess because I found the sound better with wired.

Exactly!

I always go for wired headphones due to better sound quality.

I bought the Corsair Vengeance 2100 wireless headset for work, because I was tired of the wires getting tangled up with my chair. Sound is decent, and so is the mic. There are no Mac drivers for surround so I can't comment on the 7.1.

Just a warning about the Corsair Vengeance headsets. Corsair still doesn't have any properly working Windows 8.1 drivers yet. So if you are using that OS, then Corsair headsets will be a problem.

I have the Vengeance 2000 and Corsair seems so freaking inept at fixing this driver issue, I'm thinking about selling mine and getting a Logitech G930 instead (I have to have wireless).
