Ninj, I did get some hissing - but try swapping the plugs from input to output (or vicesersa) on the back of the box. That solved it for me.

Also, ensure that the sound levels on the black thingy on the wire  (<-- spot the techy lol) are not high but compensate by turning up the volume on the main box.

After disaterous forays into Steel band things and er.....another one that escapes me, I returned to my trusty Plantronics Audio 90s. I don't think I'm missing a thing!

Don't think they are but you don't miss a thing with them. The 500's are on special this week with 25% off the regular price!! :dribble:  They are usb plug and play with attached mute\+vol\-vol button. I use my 400's for gaming and music and have no complaints whatsoever....brilliant sound!

Resurrecting an old thread here.

My Medusa 5.1 headphones were vandalised by my kids and now have no mic.
I can't find anywhere online that has a spare add-on headset for sale, they all appear as either out-of-stock or unavailable.

Anyone know where I can get a set, the ones that plug into the small amp box.?

If I can't get them now, can anyone recommend a good headphone/mic 7.1 combo?

[TeaLeaf]

Interested in the results of this question as my Medusa's are getting a bit, well, crusty :blink: ....nope, not for those reasons, but because the kids use them too and they grab them with food-covered fingers etc.

New headphone/mic combo are on the way, just need to decide which ones.

[GhostMjr]

I converted to the medusa 5.1's a while back. They are an awesome piece of kit. Maybe Norm can help you out as he's going to the lan?
 
Also play.com has raised there price to £54.99. I presume as they have all sold out.

Just had a Pm from BT about Medusa's,I will let you know now,I cant get them trade anywhere for love nor money atm.:no2:

Forgot to say,if you make a decision on which ones are the best I could do you a deal for the LAN.

My much-loved Audio 90s bit the dust at the LAN and like a fool I bought a cheapo replacement pair that I thought would be OK for the job .... wrong!

So I re-read this thread and found these. My cock is a-hoop

Go on. you know it makes sense.

Call me weak minded, call me 'easily led' but call me, don't be afraid, you can call me, call me and I'll be arounnnnnd. Oo! Wha' appened?

Ahem, I've just ordered one ... too.

[Dingo]

You just ordered some more Plantronics Ron?.....surely not those girly Senhemerwhatsits.....you'll be deaf by the time your 65?!!:woot2:

Guys, how was the installation and hookup? Are they really surround sound? Where did you plug them in to your soundcard? I noticed that they only have two plugs one for the mic and one for the headphones themself. How does that equate to surround sound?

http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=134&code=023
 
3)Speedlink Medusa 5.1 USB Headset (USB-connection but quit pricy, I've got a budget you know)
