Roccat PC Peripherals I have the above headset and keyboard (2nd and 3rd pics), and I can honestly say that this stuff is incredibly solid and amazing quality PC hardware, you can tell the quality of the stuff as soon as you take it out the box. Still don't need/want to replace the Naga Mouse though. Basically great German engineering at a reasonable price. Absolutely rapes the Razer Tarantula/MS Sidewinder (and I loved that loving keyboard), and the Creative Fatality HS-1000 headset I used to use. I'll be buying their stuff for a long time

Mr. D Bewildering posted:Just jumping in to second the recommendation for Skullcandy earbuds. You can basically get a pair at whatever price you want and they're still going to be good. I've found that the style and build of the earbud is many times more important anyway. For example: I bought a pair of the Skullcandy earbuds about a year ago, and after about a month (don't get me wrong, I just wrapped them around my Zune for "storage") but while I was using them, one of the small metal meshes that actually covers the speaker part in the centre of the rubber bit actually came off, in my ear canal. I had to hold my head to the left and twat the right side of my head for about 30 seconds before it came out. I complained to their customer service with a few pictures and they actually sent me a pair of the larger headphones "Skull Candy HESH" for free. It was appreciated but that kinda pissed me off as I bough in ear ones for a reason (to wrap them around my Zune) and they just loving broke at the typical weak plastic joint that plagues most headphones, about a month later. Their customer service was surprisingly good, but god drat the build quality is terrible from my experience. I'm sure there are people that use them with no problems, but I've never had so much trouble with products from one company in such a short space of time it put me off them for life. Edit: I should probably add some kind of recommendation. I use cheaper in-ear style headphones while im at work and travelling with the mp3 player, I save the more expensive stuff for home. I just got some sony in-ear style ones (MDR-EX32LP - ) and they've lasted 7 months with no issues so far. At home I use the Roccat Kave Headset for Gaming and Acoustic Energy Aego 2.1 speakers that are mindblowingly good. They're much, much better than any logitech/creative 2.1's I've used in the past although the price jump was hard to deal with I'd say it's one of the best purchases I've made - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acoustic-Energy-AE26-06B-active-speaker/dp/B000MN96T6 Astrobastard has a new favorite as of 17:41 on Jan 2, 2012 |

Yeah I've had a Microsoft lifecam "Studio" AND "Cinema" both crap out on me, I now use a Logitech C525 and the thing is awesome, and Logitech has amazing customer service.

Scott Bakula posted:I've bought an Asus Xonar DGX for my PC to use with my Sennheiser headphones, however my old speaker system is pretty old and battered and could also do with replacing. Can anyone recommend anything that I suppose costs between £50-100? I also bought a nice ASUS Xonar DX a while back and bought a set of these to replace my lovely creative set. Best purchase I've made for my computer, I can't believe how good these things sound, although they may be over your budget a bit. http://www.trustedreviews.com/Acoustic-Energy-Aego-M-Speakers_Peripheral_review

Etrips posted:Are you hooking it up to a computer? If so just grab any webcam and either sign up for logmein (costs money after a month but you can remote in to your computer) or setup a free account with ustream.tv to stream them. I do the combination of both so my wife and I can watch our dogs while we are away from home. Seconding this, we just use a free UStream account and a Logitech C525 webcam and stream all the time we're out of the house to monitor the dog(s seizures). EDIT - I use TeamViewer on Android so that I can use my computer while out, just incase the stream goes down or the PC gets rebooted for whatever reason ALTERNATIVELY http://petcube.com/
