Hey Russ go to Amazon dot come with the name of these headsets copied and paste it into the search. With tax and shipping i got them for $71.20. They were like 65 dollars new or close to that its much cheaper than everywhere else. Other cheapest was newegg but it was 99.99 there so i’d say go to amazon i’m wearing them right now so that would be my recommendation. Hopefully you check back here.

Very nice headset. Someone on deviantART had a picture up of him wearing one, I asked him what it was and searched, and this is where I was led. But everywhere I read on main store sites, it costs about 100 bucks. It’s hard to find a cheaper price, without getting ripped off.
If you happen to know of any trustworthy places that sell it for cheaper, without it being used, let me know. I’m all about saving money.
You’re more than welcome to email me back about it. ‘Just the person monitoring this. Not random people.
Thanks for having a post with all the details on it. Not even the manufacturer has all the details, lol… kinda pathetic, but oh well.
