JaseGill Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) All, I'm looking for a wireless headset and have come across a few. There is the G930, but that seems to have its own USB sound card on its "dongle". Does this add overhead on the processor that's significant? Also has anyone that uses one had any issues with having a sound card and a G930 (I'd still like to use my sound card for other things outside gaming or when I'm not flying and don't want a headset/Track IR running. There are generic Sennheisser ones that work over wireless and I guess plug into the sound card and just transmit wirelessly the signal, none are cheap! Lastly there is the Razer Chimera which looks the best as it uses the sound card and the headset is specifically for gaming. Its expensive but seems to work as I want it to though I wonder if its worth the money? Does anyone have any experience of any of the above or any other ideas? Thanks, J. MODS: Please feel free to move this to Hardware if thats more suitable.

joey45 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I use the G930 and it is very good. It is USB and does not use the soundcard in anyway so you can still have your speakers plugged in the SC... The range is also very good aswel. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
