Altec Lansing AHS602 If you're tired of playing the silent type in games such as Counter-Strike and Unreal Tournament 2004, Altec Lansing's AHS602 two-way headset might be just the solution. In addition to offering refinements such as SRS 3D sound...

Includes SRS 3D audio processing; built-in microphone for video games, VoIP, and voice recognition; in-line controller module; respectable sound; sealed earcup design helps block noise.

Somewhat pricey; non-USB design requires AAA battery and access to sound card's audio jacks.

Serious online gamers will dig the functionality and sound quality of Altec Lansing's AHS602 two-way headset, but it's overkill for more-pedestrian applications.
