<div class="IPBDescription">set of headphones/mic</div> Well yesterday ny headphones started to lose sound in the left ear and the onyl way Ican restore sound it wiggling the cable till it connects. This is the third time this has happened in one year, and quite frankly im tried of spending $15 for a new set that breaks within months. I googled and I saw prices ranging from $15(POS ones) to $700 ones(DAMN thats crazy).


So what would you guys reccomend?

    I use the plantronics .Audio 70 Analog Headset. Its a nice light headset that provides all the sounds you could need while playing NS while also providing a good clear microphone. It has a inline volume control and mic mute switch which is also nice and handy. The .Audio 90 Analog Headset is also a good choice. It's a little bulkier than the 70 series, and it goes above your head instead of around the back, but you get better base out of them and the mic is a tad bit clearer.

    You can pick either set up for around 20-30 dollars at circuit city or best buy, or if your not in a hurry you can probably find a online retailer selling them for cheaper than that.

    Hope this helps!

    Same thing has been happening to me. I've gone through 4 pairs of headphones this year already.

    I just ordered a pair of Plantronics DSP 500's for $66 off of newegg.

    Get the Labtec 302 Axis, they are the nicest headphones I've had. They are 20 dollars tho, <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->
