    I need recommendations for good gaming headsets and speakers :D Price range... Eh... Up to £75 for each of them so basically it's £150 budget

    Know of any? I've been looking at the Razer Barracuda for a bit o.o

    Bose Companion II are the best small speakers I've ever heard. And you can get them for under 90 on eBay. 60 left over for a headset should be good enough right?

    The Astros headset looks nice but it's hella expensive o.o I don't really like the looks of bose companion 2 though x3

    Looking at the Logitech G35 headset o.o It looks awesome but it's not released yet in the UK D: But it'll be in March...

    Still quite leaning on Razer Barracuda headsets though ._. Anyone with these headsets?

    Just found out about Razer Megalodon or something o.o It sounded nice and all but it's $150 >.> Not released too... I'd prefer the G35 over this one
