 A great screen and and a shitty, old screen. Combined to an odd 2 screen streaming setup. IT WURKS DOE. |

What did you think of your X12s? I've tried them on at Walmart, along with every option up to the $85 Turtle Beaches, not only can I not tell a difference in sound between all three but they all sound godawful. I'm talking $2 earbuds that have been through the washer awful. I'm thinking maybe the display they have set up at Walmart is screwed up. If you were happy with yours I may just go buy a pair and then return them if I'm not pleased with the sound quality. The X12's were my first headset that cost me more than 10 bucks. So I wasn't used to any real sound quality prior to that. I was honestly very pleased with them. I've turned the bassboost up about 2/3 most of the time and had a good time with them all long. Not sure what I would've thought if I had any prior experience with a better headset. I guess the X12 are a bit overly bassy but I didnt have a problem with that. My problem was that the frame of headset has a weak spot right over the ear cup and gave up on me after less then a year. I wasn't super super careful while using and used it a lot but I would've expected a longer life out of it. Every set of turtle beaches I ever owned and everyone I know broke theirs in the same way you describe. They are decent value if you are testing the headset waters but I wouldnt suggest them to anyone. I think after you try a headset for gaming you just dont go back so there isnt much point in buying TBs. Surround sound at its highest quality doesnt really compare to a good headset for gaming purposes. 3 companies to stay away from as someone who has been a headset user for about a decade are Turtle Beach, Tritton and Skull Candy. All of them have decent sound quality and I stress the word decent but their durability is nowhere near acceptable. The entire headset is made of very cheap plastic and all 3 companies are prone to have their headsets snap right above one of the earcups. Headsets that are worth buying and will last you a long time: Astro(the mixamp is a lifesaver. Very durable), Sennheiser ( Best in the world, you cant beat german efficiency), Steel Series(durable but pretty average until you add an astro mixamp then we are talking about a HQ combo). All three are in the same price range roughly but Steel series would be the cheapest, then Astro and Sennheiser most expensive( you get what you pay for). Personally I use Astro A40s currently but when these headphones die (gonna be a while bc of great durability) I will be getting Sennheiser. I cannot stress how much better they are then anything else out there. If you get a chance to try them out take it. |

I have a pair of Razor Chimeras. 3 years old and Ive had no issues with them thus far. (Well except my puppy chewing the 3.5mm mic cable. Other than that I would recommend them. Im not an expert on headsets by any means, but my chimeras have lasted me quite long. 3 different bass setting, seperate voice and game audio sliders on the ear pieces. Quick mute for both voice and audio seperately, and the ability to use digital audio input at the same time as analog input.

That's a no-no. If you take the Holocaust out of the picture Germany would be on top of the world. Technology superior to virtually every country at the time of WW2. It would be very interesting if Germany had won WW2 and there was no holocaust. They would of been the first to the moon almost certainly. They would have the atom bomb first. They would own most of europe. Really the only reason they lost in the end was spreading themselves too thin and Japan fucking everything up by involving the USA. When I said German efficiency thats what I was getting at. If its made in germany its probably high quality and ahead of its time and with the Sennheiser headsets that most certainly is true. Although Ive heard great things about the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 but Ive never used one. Supposedly its the best out there and go figure they are also a German company. |

But I'm still happy we lost. Nazi germany can fuck itself. |

But I'm still happy we lost. Nazi germany can fuck itself. While I agree. As an American I can say we are no better. After raping and pillaging the Native Americans lands we enslaved Africans followed by creating our own concentration camps or "internment camps" in response to Pearl Harbor. Really the only difference between the the USA and Nazi germany is that we didnt slaughter the Japanese that we imprisoned. You take that out of the equation and really Nazi germany isnt much different from the USA or Great Britain for that matter over the course of history. The Holocaust itself is what makes Nazi Germany so awful. Remove that from the equation and they are no different than any other Major world power. Hell the russians murdered far more people they just didnt piss off every other world power in the process and by the time they did they had nukes and thus we have the cold war. |
