Hi, I plan to buy a new headset, mainly for Gaming (mostly while on Skype, Ventrilo etc) and Movies.

Budget is around 1.5-2K, but may extend a bit.

How is Logitech G130?

The store showed me another headset from Sennheiser PC 300 series worth around Rs 3500-ish. I don't quite remember which model it was - probably PC 310.

Sennheiser PC 310

Suggestions are welcome.

Anybody using Corsair Vengeance 1500, how heavy or comfortable are they? I read reviews saying the headband can clamp hard, and it gets uncomfortable quite soon. Anybody facing such issues?

Between Corsair Vengeance 1500, Steelseries Siberia V2, Razer Carcharias which is better?

Bought Corsair Vengeance 1500 @ Rs 4940 from Vedant Computers, Kolkata. :) They sound good, though getting used to big headphones is taking some time for me.

Quick question about the software though - the "Corsair USB Headset Control Panel" shows 3 click-able buttons on the right pane - Bypass, Environment Size, and 7.1 Virtual Speaker Shifter. I assume Bypass is stereo mode. But how do I enable 5.1 and/or 71 sound?
