Everglide s-500 Headphone Review
Lincoln 'PrOpHeT' Grixti writes "The Everglide s-500 Headphone is the ultimate tool for gamers that pass long hours using their headset for their gaming needs. It has been designed for gamers, by gamers, with the aid of leading world-wide professionals such as Sander "Voo" Kaasjager and other CPL World Tour Winners. The headset is available for sale with a price tag of $99.99 from Everglide Store. Some might say it's quite expensive for a headset, but when compared to other professional gaming headsets, the price is quite cheap." update Sorry folks, apparently the linked website barfed.
Hey well since I was the one saying I would be add blocking the ludicrous 700k omg-blinken-flashing-epilepsy-microsoft-friendly flash adds they were showing on the TEXT ONLY LIGHTWEIGHT MOBILE version of /. I can't really complain that they now started to display adds as a few byte of text I guess.
Beep beep.
It might sound like a big name to uninformed buyers, but this kid plays painkiller. He didn't get popular until 2005, and has been a pretty much one trick poney.
I'd be more impressed if it was someone like Brian "Destrukt" Flanders, or even the overhyped fatal1ty would know more than vo0.
I don't care how well you do in one game, if you can't adapt to other games then your opinion as a "pro gamer" doesn't extend beyond your field. Someone whos able to rock at multiple games obviously knows a lot more about being good than just a few tricks to one game, and thus I'd give a shit more about their input on headphones/hardware.
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx

Agreed. Sennheiser is quite overhyped, and the stuff under $300 is pretty much circuit city quality -- OK, but not great. The Grados are fairly cheap, sound pretty damn good, and are much more comfortable to use.
Yes! I actually just got my SR-80s in the mail the other day, and they are awesome. Probably the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn, and they sound great. Grado FTW.
Why is it that when you believe something it's an opinion, but when I believe something it's a manifesto?
I have a Headphone I bought exclusively for gaming. Sony CD470. It's closed, stable, has a long cord and the best sound quality I've ever had on a headphone. This line of headphones has something like a subscription to audio rewards and gets top rankings every season.
There is but one thing I'd do better for gaming: Anti-Sweat. Closed is good but when your ears get warm after hours of UT 2003 you want some air on your ears.
My perfect gaming headphone would have the sound quality of the Sony CD line, the cord of the Sony CD470, would be as sturdy as the Beyerdynamic Monitor Headphone line (high end studio headphones, start at aprox. 300$) and some sort of nifty air circulation system to keep the ears from going sweaty whilst keeping external noise out. And it would have a line of spare parts for things that break on them and go fatigue. Like the cushions and the lining.
All of this doesn't seem to be part of these bizarly priced headphones. Ergo: Crap or maybe some ok closed headphones. But gaming headphones "by gamers for gamers"?
That's Rubbish. Save your money.

According to the FAQ, tags are only available to subscribers and some users. I expect that the "some users" are users who joined before some cut-off date (I could be wrong, what do I know) and that your account is simply too new for the tags.
Likewise, there's a similar cut-off point for moderation, so if you've never moderated, your account may simply be too new.
You are in a maze of twisty little relative jumps, all alike.
They should build some phones that have a feature to reduce the pressure against the ear at the point where eyeglasses pass behind it.
