Yeah my first set was the 90's then i picked these up when they died and notice they were the same except for the GameCom 1 silkscreen on the side.

NOFX October 17, 2008 Share NOFX Member October 17, 2008 (edited) I've gone through about three sets of .90's. All broke due to my fault. I've now had the USB version for about 3 years.. they have seemed to survive much better since I left college.

Bought 2 pairs for the kids here not long ago and shipping wasn't too much. They are identical to my GameComs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLANTRONICS GameCom 377 Best Buy price matched Newegg, plus another $15 in reward certificates means I got it for $20 So how you like em? If mine ever crap out I might look into them. I've only used them for about 3 hours (just picked them up tonight and played some CS with them) but here are my initial impressions: - Outstanding sound quality. Great for listening to music or the footsteps of a terrorist around the corner. very good bass response. - love the hide-away mic option (looks like normal headphones when mic is folded up) - From what others have told me, mic sound quality is great. I boosted the gain in the source engine since the mic isn't as close to my mouth as with other headsets, but I have been told it's very much loud and clear enough - comfortable overall, but a little bit on the tight side, at least right now. I like the open backs so that I can hear whats going on around me still. I expect the tightness to be less of an issue with increased use. In my opinion, you can't beat it, especially if you can get it for $20 like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
