Amazing Headphones for SH3

[PappyCain]

Here at the rest home, we want to look our best while on the high seas. My headset is Velcro attached to my official hat. So you see, some how it all fits when you think about it! That avatar will chase off even Miss Crumb our head nurse!

It would be too embarrassing to show you the pair I'm currently using

[PappyCain]

Just got my email notice that my 'back-up' was sent USPO. I will be curious as how the 7.99 set will compare to my other headsets/mics and let you all know! Who knows - maybe we'll get lucky and it will ok.

Give me my trusted audigy 2zs with 5.1 surround sound.
That`s real a thrill when a destroyer is hunting you...

Welp, yesturday i got my AXPC headset.. I must say, this is a big change from my last headset. It took a bit of tweaking to make the music sound good, and the bass/built in subwoofer isnt too impressive. But hey, thats not what they're made for right?

another thing to get used to, they're freakin huge.. the cord is pretty big also, maybe it'll hold up longer?

Anyways.. i loaded up my first patrol with them last night.. (I posted a whole story about it, Epic Patrol.., however i accidently posted it in Mods workshop)
so far, they're pretty sweet.. can feel the deisels chugging a long nicely behind you.. or right in front if your looking that way.. and getting a bearing on airplanes buzzing around is a bit easier. After a while, the DC's started after i was spotted by a destroyer.. its the first time i've ever stayed in the command room for the experience, and boy was it crazy.. I could tell just about how far away they were hitting, they got pretty close and damaged me a few times.. that was pretty sweet.

Overall, for the price in comparasin to other 5.1 headets, i'd say they're pretty decent.. but if your looking for super quality, or a lot of bass.. you can defenitly do better. i'm defenitly happy with them.

Loads of EQ setting in the software you install, be sure to check them out, as for bass I had to turn mine down it was so powerful, but you are right they are big, but they are built for sound not style mind you they still look good. I really enjoy my set, glad you like your to. Took me awhile to find the "just right" settings..

I got a new set for my hydro guy. Here he is trying them out. Maybe now he can find contacts sooner.

While I do appreciate the offer Sharkley - my hours are nuts, and I hardly play SH3 anymore. About one hour 3 days/week, a few hours on Sunday maybe.

SH3 bogs down often on my (older) rig, and I'm not even sure if my intraweb connection would be good enough...

Yeah, it took me a bit to get everything setup perfectly, now they rock.

On another note, if any of you guys play first person shooters.. this is defenitly the right headset for the job. After a few hours of playing Counter-strike Source, i deemed that these headphones are like hydrophones for any game, i could hear EVERYONE running around, and could tell exactly which direction, and just about how far they were. and hearing flashbangs go off halfway across the maps is always a nice feeling.

Yes, and you can run BOTH the headset AND the 5.1 surround sound at the same time. You will feel the heavy base sub woofer in your feet too when barefoot.

Well my HP-259 set came yesterday. You know, the $7.99 pair that I ordered a few days ago. I tried them out last night, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed. The bass is really good. No distortion whatsoever, comfort is above average. No headache's yet. I would have to recommend these to anyone looking to save some dough, and to be able to still have nice set that does what it's suppose to do fairly well.

[PappyCain]

Whoa Nellie. Your's arrived. Maybe I need to row ashore to the PO and see if mine came. Glad to hear you like 'em. (hear!! get it, hear!!.

[Otto Heinzmeir]

I hope mine arrive. I put Otto Heinzmeir,U-33, Grid AM54 for my address.

You have U-33 also. Small world. I probably get it while your on shore leave, then you get it will I'm on shore leave. I'll try not to get any dents in it.
