If anyone can speak from personal experience with any of these, or tell me something newegg hasn't, I'd appreciate it.

From the comments, I'd say get this one if you want the cheaper one, but if you're willing to spend the extra 10$, I'd go with this one, the other one seems to have more little annoying issues with it. Although I'm sure you coulda made that choice on your own :blush:

OVERWATCH STATUS GO

From experience, the Logitech ones are killer on the ears if worn for too long. I've had those and two other models, and for some reason my ears just hate Logitech.

I've been having this probem also. I think it's the way it presses on your ears, just makes it sore. I think the best ones are the ones that wrap around your ear instead of pushing on it. But I bet they're much more expensive.

My ears are kind of small, so I had no problems with the Logitech pair. It does have a very good mic imo.
I did end up breaking them after accidentally sitting on them. :-_-:

The pair of headphones that do hurt my ears are my hesh skullcandys.

So far it looks like its between the Saitek and the ABS, with the ABS winning. Anandtech has had bad things to say about the Fatality and everyone says the Logitec is uncomfortable.

I'd like you to disclose these "bad things," please.

I've used the Fatal1ty headset, and it's alright. It has muddy bass, and the higher tones are a lot quieter than the lower frequencies. It sounds a lot like the Sennheiser HD202, if that helps. They are REALLY comfortable, but the build quality is kinda poor.

Now, I currently use the Creative Aurvana Lives, and they are worlds better than the Fatal1ty headset. There are two problems, though: they are like 3 times the price, and they don't have a mic attached.

As for the ABS headset, I believe they use the same drivers (speaker units, not software) as the Steelseries 3h, which sound a TON better than the Fatal1ty. Much better highs, grainy mids, and alright lows. If you're a basshead, you'd like the Fatal1ty better, though.

1 Anandtech user is worth 20 SEN users in this forum. Just so you know.

I think it all comes down to $25 vs $40 (or whatever). Saitek makes good keyboards, that's for sure. I can't say much on the matter because I have a headset which I got for $0.99.

Wanted to see whether Anandtech figured the same stuff as me.

More or less.

sounds like moisture control is often a pressing concern in your city
