    so.. I'm gonna buy a new headset soon, and I'd just like some input on which one of these to buy. Currently the Fatal1ty one looks like the best just cause it's normally like $80 so I assume that it's going to be better than the other headsets which are around $40 just because it's so much more expensive. Only problem with the Fatal1ty one is that I'm gonna buy from buy.com which is kind of a crappy site haha

    I got my ClearChat Comfort a couple days ago for $20(incl.$15 Mail-in rebate)
    and it produces clear digital audio, but bass is somewhat lacking. Still a step up from normal headphones, and I've heard many new sounds in-game than I've heard before. The microphone cant extend in length, but that doesn't really matter cause it picks up your voice clearly.

    I didn't miss it.. I had to wait for my mom to get home to use her credit card.. and like 4 hours before she did it was out of stock =[

    Can someone comment on the build quality of the Fatal1ty headset? and positional audio? I know that the audio quality is supposed to be better than many other gaming headsets just because it's more expensive, but what about positional audio? I'm not that much of an audiophile, but I'm just scared that when I'm scrimming I'll give a bad call or something haha
