I got a good set from best buy, it is a wireless up to 300 feet, forgot what they were called, but they came in a box that you could open up and take a look at. a bit expensive though, my set was $170.00., but well worth it... you also can hook them up to your television set to listen to TV as well. Actually they are ment for the television, but I am not using them for that reason. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles Rivard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 04, 2008 12:24 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] ot: chosing a good headset
