Where have you found the Qpad 90's under £70? I am planning on buying a pair this week.

 

Cheers for the reply.

Have you guys tried out the 85's as a comparison? (I feel that I should take this back to the older review).

You don't still have a pair at Cleveland street for a quick fit test on?

 

No worries, I will have you assume you all have as big ears/head as I do and take a chance.

 

Amazon has the Qpad QH-90 in white for £73.45 with free delivery and a touch more for the black if you don't like Ebuyer...

I had a pair of Vengeance 1500. I found them too heavy, too uncomfortable and the sound quality wasn't very good. Ended up getting the Roccat Kave instead which is fantastic.

 

Which version as there are three I believe.

 

The 5.1 surround ones that plug directly into the soundcard, not the USB ones.

 

I have a Vengeance 1500 as well and I don't like it either. It's heavy, which is tough for the neck but it's also uncomfortable and it hurts my ears and my jaw a lot after just a few minutes of use. The sound is also crap as there is no bass whatsoever unless I enable the bass boost in windows... wihch can't be done after the windows 8.1 driver fix from Corsair

Corsair sucks now. My TX850 broke 3 times, my CX430 broke almost right away, my Force 3 GT died out of nowhere and the corsair mouse pad I bought is too reflective for an optical mouse (weird, I know. Part of the blame goes to my Roccat Savu). This headset is the last product I ever buy from them... which is sad because I used to respect Corsair a lot

 

Thanks fibblesan...

knuck, 'ever' is a long time and they have plenty of hardware that is still top rate from what I read, cases, PSUs, CPU coolers, etc, as well as their memory which is still holding it's own.

 

There is plenty of choice. They've had enough of my money, i'll buy from someone else

 

I just picked up a pair of these, for the £54 I paid (a lot less than the review price!) I'm pretty happy with sound the quality compared to my old Zalman theatre 6s.
However, I am having a sod of a time with what I think is an audio driver conflict, with games minimising, if launch after running mumble. They don't seem very plug and play, unless I have just been un-lucky.
This is despite re-installing the Asus on-board audio driver package and then also trying with updated (but still old) drivers direct from the Realtek. website.

 

How do you find the mic on the Roccat Kave? I was tempted by the Qpad but heard (heh) the mic is rubbish.

 

No it isn't. This one is lower in model number and cheaper...
