A while back I bought refurbished Razer Tiamat 2.2s at meh.com. Loved the headset cause of the bass response, but it only lasted a month before the frame cracked on me. Lack of mic flexibility didn't help the voice chat volume either. I am looking for something that hits as heavy as the Tiamat's, but I still want a headset since I don't dedicate so much time to mic communication. I don't see myself purchasing luxury headphones or an independent mic with pop screen. Not looking for 5.1 or 7.1. Please help?

A few months ago, I got the Sentey Arches GS-4730 on a discounted price. They've been pretty awesome for what I paid and even at full price it's something I'd recommend if you're on a budget. They sound great, the mic is pretty awesome quality, and they're extremely comfortable to wear. I've been able to wear them for extended periods without any overheating or soreness.

If you don't dig the vibrating/feedback feature, which can take some getting used to, there's a button to turn that off; honestly, though I think the vibration adds a lot. The tip of the mic also lights up as an easy indicator if it's on or off. It's not as distracting as you would think. It also connects via USB, so if you're short on USB ports, that's a thing to be aware of.

Not sure how they compare to what you had but if you like bass, this will deliver on that.

@rotnac: Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately I forgot to mention that I'm looking for something that utilizes a 3.5mm jack instead of USB. I'm one of those weirdos that bought a soundcard and it's one that doesn't handshake with USB inputs. Any equivalents from Sentey that comes with a 3.5mm line? Tried checking their site out and for some reason it's not displaying their products.

My advice is spend a little more money to get a bit more quality in the construction.

sorry, not sure if they have any products that aren't USB.
