So Im looking into a good gaming headset but cant find a professional round up and review anywhere, well at least one that is current. Be nice to see a tekzilla round up of gaming headsets.

Reviewing audio devices is kinda subjective... Thats ok when the feild is narrow like USB turntables... "This one stinks on ice, that one sounds way better" ... i buy that cause there arnt too many of em, and he pretty much tested em all in those 2. In Gaming headsets though...
I can be anicdotal with this to try and explain...
There is a LAN gaming center around here. They have essentialy 2 classes of computer "Standard" and "VIP". Standard is pretty basic hardware... i think they run geforce 7800... they also have the lower end of peripherials, including headsets. The VIP computers run something like Dual 8800 ultras... and have the highest end peripherials.
The manager swares that the headsets in the VIP room are the best of the best... i personaly think they suck for various reasons. He hates the cheapos on the standard PCs... but i liked em soo much i bought myself a pair for at home.
The feild is soo wide, with so many selctions, and he can only give you his opinion, which will likely be vastly diffrent than yours (especialy with headsets...which haveto be comfortable on your head... and i know my head is fatter than his...so i know right from the start...his opinion on that is invalid for me... )
