    Hey,
    My gaming headset (wired) is on it's way out because of the wires getting loose, so I was thinking about getting a bluetooth gaming headset (avoid the whole annoying wire thing altogether).

    Does anyone have experience or recommendations for bluetooth GAMING headseats? (I am using it on my PC - actually my Asus G1S laptop). I would also be using it for internet phoning - skype).

    Have you had good/bad experiences to share?

    Any particular brand or model you'd recommend?

    Is there a reason to just stay away from them?

    Are batteries an issue?

    Are the big earmuffy ones much comfier than the little fit in the ear ones? Are the little ones very uncomfortable for long gaming sessions?

    Thanks!

    I've got the Nokia BH-900. I use it for Skype and for my cell phone. I don't game with it though. I can imagine it might get uncomfortable after awhile. For voice pickup and noise canceling, it is one of the best rated. That is, you supposedly can talk normally in the car with the windows down. No first hand experience doing that though.
