these feel solid, but are not that great

looks too bulky too me and a litlle cumbersome...not for me nite-nite wooters

I wonder if this is anything like the headset that came with my super old school Xitel Storm Platinum Aureal Vortex 2 sound card way back in the day...

... one of these links actually does have it for an insane price, but it might be fake, or a mistake... if you find out if its true, let me know, cuz i'll buy it at half the woot price any day... other than that one, most the listings don't come remotely close... but like i said, if anyone finds out that the crazy low price i saw is legit... ... holler back... woot woot.

Separate USB port for power, nice!!

No thanks....throw some pure headsets out there woot! Mic's are not for me

Vibrating headphones
E-E-a-a-A-A-E-E-a-a-A-A-E-E-a-a-A-A..
That might give me a headache.

Your WHAT?

Haha.

I wonder how strong the vibration is. Might they vibrate enough to slide out of postion/off your head? Also, how are these powered? USB?

Anyone know if:

a) this works with Macs?
b) the microphone would work with Skype on the Mac?

Vibrating headphones.. wow. Now I'm really in the game. -_-

the driver size, sound cancelling, snr ratio, db rating... these look amazing!!!! I only wish I had any money whatsoever.
Does anyone know if the microphone is detachable and if it needs power all the time, ie can it be used with an mp3 player minus the microphone?
Nice w00t!

too bulky for me. ill stick with my nice technics set.

nite woot. more roombas! kidding :D

LEDs on the side??? WOW now my buddies KNOW I ROCK!!!!

Is this Xbox 360 compatible?

Nice!! I've been waiting for a headset like this to pop up... no more leaning over and trying to reach my microphone that dangles over the monitor! ;-) I'm a happy wooter tonight!

Is there any adapter or any way i can get this thing to work with my xbox 360? this would be sweet...

tempted-seems like a good deal. cheapest on Pricegrabber is 41.99

Anyone know how these work for people with giant pumpkin heads?

Link to a Review If one is so inclined.

(it was the first up on google, but it seems pretty detailed.Were it not for the plethora of insidious FLASH FLASH FLASH sorts of ads, it might even be considered quite good)

Awesome. This'll go nicely with my Logitech iFeel. My collection of vibrating peripherals is growing... :D One day I will combine them all into a Quake-controlled earthquake machine. Muahaha!

Techspot review can be found here. Review is from 04, I guess thats when these came out, review dosen't hold them too high, though I've seen several people gaming with htis headset.

Nice headphones for gaming...Sadly I already have a decent pair but I'm still tempted to get this one at this price...Some good reviews on these (for what it's for - gaming). Woot, bring us 5.1 headphones...

The date on the podcast is wrong... It says its still Wed Aug 9th...

Two sites list Mac compatibility:

Indicates that it is Mac compatible.

Is my head normally vibrates would this make it stay still?

Thanks... I just saw that J&R also says it is compatible with the Mac... now does anyone know if this will work with Skype?

I think you should check out a product by Turtle Beach
called EarForceX2

its a dual headset with a boom mic (its not the greatest mic though) It plays in -game sound as well as in-game voices at the same time...so for instance, late at night, you can turn your TV volume off...and play strictly from the headset.
Not even close to $20 though.

haha that super low price is like an ebay site... you have to bid on them to get them for a low price like that... plus there is over 2 days left on the "auction" which means chances are they will not sell that cheap... plus you have to be careful because they are used! haha

nite nite woot! (can we get a Blinged-Out Cabbage anytime soon??)

Is it just me or are the stats slightly skewed....

go ahead, I dare you to add up the percentages for purchaser experience....

It was an auction and it had already ended. $9.99 would have been the beginning bid.

It has a separate plug for mic and separate for headphones (speakers), and USB for power only, so I don't see why it wouldn't work with any of the above...

Look at the plugs....
All it is is just a line-out, mic-in, and usb.
Meaning anything that produces sound and listens to a microphone will be compatible with it

I think you could get it to work with an 360 minus led and force feedback if you solder the mic cable and headphone cables into the connector that comes with the original headset....

oh that makes no sense, google it, you might be able to get it to work

another option might be mic to the controller and the other cord to stereo out... but thats another bussiness altogether

also considering 360 does have usb support you might just get vibration and led power but who knows if a driver is neccesary and the 360 would probably reject it

sorry if this isnt any help to anyone but just chalk it up to another worthless woot post

These will nicely replace my old pair of Altec Lansing AHS-502s (Which suck.. I wore those Altec Lansings on many occasions for like 4 hours during raids in WoW and they HURT my ears - a lot each time).

The AudioFX's sound like they are more comfortable plus fireballs and explosions ingame should get a well deserved bump - rock.

In for 3! (2 for me, 1 for my friend who is in desperate need of a good headset)

I couldn't resist. The temptation of actually feeling myself crash in Flight Sim is just far too great. Good woot!
