Schumi i have a nice germanic branded headset that is sure to stir your germanic pride in germany's industrial might and technical prowess j/k

Sennheiser HD435. It comes with a detachable cord. Just replace with any a $4 3.5mm Male/Male Stereo Audio Cable if the included one ever goes.

I believe all the Sennheiser work this way all the way up to their flagship $500 HD650

The highs and low of the HD435 are pretty good, but its a little weak on the midrange tones compared to other headsets in the $70-80 price range. I'm sure moving up to the HD455 or a few levels up would give you wicked audio, but if you want Detachable cord i know the Sennheiser does.

If you have a big head and wear glasses like me, I found you have to kinda break in the headset so its comfortable. Otherwise the headset presses teh glasses frames uncomfortably against the side of your head. Over time the headset has loosened up and its more comfortable now.

I've been using the same headphones for 9 years now and they are still working perfect. Although I have changed its wire lots of times.

I didn't know the difference either.

Wikipedia says a headset is basically a headphone with a microphone attached to it so you can talk.

no we can take them and the magazines too.
I loved the nose cancellation headphone, you can't any surrounding sounds when you put them on.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Yeah a headset is basically just headphones with attached Mic.

Those Sennheisers sound real nice PCXL, I will have to look into them.

Though they're not some $200 headphones, and though they're studio headphones, meaning they're not aimed at the gamer/enthusiast market like the HD series so it may not be the type you're looking for, I have a ~$60 Sennheiser eH350. They don't have deep bass, but the highs are excellent, and the mids are good too, and so long as you break them in (that part is important) and don't care for deep bass, they're damn good for ~$60, and the cord is detachable and replaceable (yes, seems to be common of most Sennheiser headphones).

I wish I had a pair of the HD series to try to compare them to, because this is the only "good" pair of headphones I've tried, but from what I've read, they're studio headphones, so they sound more natural and replicative, but without the punchy bass and all that the game/music/enthusiast ones seem to be said to have.

My dad has a 19" Sony Trinitron GX420 or something (I forget the model name) aperture grille CRT...probably the best CRT I've ever seen, does 2048x1536 maximum, the picture quality is impeccable =P But it's much, MUCH heavier than my Dell therefore it doesn't go very far, and he probably will never sell it, picture quality is too damn nice =P I'd like it, but I don't really need it, my Dell already does the job wonderfully.

For starters, scratch something I said in my last post. It was the M991 I had, not the P991. The P991 was basically the aperture grille version of the M991.

Secondly, it's good to hear that model (the M992) doesn't have the issue (that the M991 did). I know it was an issue with the monitor and not just mine, as I found many posts online and on Dell's old forum confirming it degrading over time. It was made with a low quality/poor tube. It should have been recalled.

Yes, aperture grille monitors are much heavier than shadow mask CRTs.

My old 19" Dell M991 (shadow mask) was somewhat light for what it looked at 44lbs.

My current 21" IBM P275 (aperture grille) is pretty heavy at 79.4lbs (almost twice the weight for 2 more inches!).

My previous 17" Gateway VX700 (aperture grille) weighed 48.5lbs.

The 17" aperture grille was a fair few pounds more than the 19" shadow mask. Aperture grilles are damn heavy, especially the larger ones, and it's one of the reasons I'm having trouble finding a small but sturdy desk I like.

There is a thing know as maintenance .

[gamefreak94]

Well I clean it every month or so and it still happens, there's just too much dust and filth in the air here! Though now that my vacations have started I guess I'll be cleaning it once every weak or so since I'll be bored as hell and won't have anything better to do

Exams are were a much bigger priority then keeping my PC dust-free.

I opened my computer case for the first time in 6 years and it had just as much dirt

It maybe because the case is filled with holes .
