At a very affordable price, is this the set that will make you truly L337 when in use? We?ll break it down. This is the first in a series of articles searching for the perfect PC headset for use with your computer at work or at home. Today we look at an entry-level PC gaming headset, the Logitech Precision PC Gaming Headset.

For a retail price of $29.95, this is very popular headset with masses attempting for the first time to use real-time communication in gaming as well as other chat programs such as Skype or Google-Talk. At first glance, this set would seem to have everything a gamer and a grandmother would need. Logitech has been providing enthusiasts with a wide variety of computer-related hardware since 1981. This set is not exactly new, but it is one that is very widely used and has acted as a ?first-set? for many.

I was very excited to try out this headset for I listen to a bunch of music at my desk and have recently started using Skype regularly.

Logitech claims that this set was designed exclusively for casual and intense gamers. The large drivers are built to give a ?premium audio experience? while the noise-cancelling microphone filters out background noise to deliver clear sound.
