Heyo.

I'll be needing a good headset (yeah with a microphone) soon for college.

I also need one that's good for gaming.

I'm thinking of the Razer BlackShark and Electra right now

What else is good?

You can use any normal 3.5mm headset (not USB) with iOS/Android by grabbing an adapter like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-5mm-Stere...677148?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b80d219c

I don't know if those headsets are good though. A lot of the headsets you can find today require a USB connection for power, even if they have 3.5mm jacks.
However, what I did find discover from a quick google is that the headsets you mentioned require the PC to support a 4-pin 3.5mm connector. Very few PCs support this, none of mine do, so you may need an adapter that is the opposite of the one I linked above if you end up getting such a headset.

I recently purchased some SteelSeries Siberia V2s which I am loving. (However I cannot say I have had much experience with previous headsets). The RRP was a bit steep at £65 for me so I risked it and bought a £25 pair off of eBay from China - they're perfectly legit (as far as I can tell, however legality of obtaining them I have no idea) just they have no warranty, boxing etc.

They'd be great for taking out to collage due to the retractable (uni-directional, this is a lot better than omni-directional) microphone, though the bars over the top may look a little weird, especially if you have a small head.

    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
