Chaps:

WHat should I consider when buying a suitable headset for teamspeak?

Thanks in advance

Sound quality.
Personally I opted for JVC harx700's with a cheap $5 clip on mic.
Wonderful, rich sound, simplicity and quality for less than $50 all told.
900's are excellent as well!

I have a Platronics GameCom myself. Amazing quality at a decent price. It's got a good mic on it as well!

Whichever headset I use, my voice never seems to come out the rich, smoky, sexy baritone that I know I really have. Also, I swear quite a lot more than expected :D

I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.

With judicious use of Crosstalk in Teamspeak I now have all of 501 sounding like plummy baritone actors pulled from the Battle of Britain film. However, I still can't get rid of Broady's colourful language, but I can scrub around 95% of it by using an After Effects plugin that recognises the phrase "fucking ailerons again, would you fucking believe it".

It's like having our very own Bader. :D
