The Edge - Headsets - Cable Length

Comments on Category #4

We know what you're thinking: finally, a short article. No, don't worry, we'll find a way to make it longer than necessary, with to much detail, and ramblings, well...sort of like we're already doing.
Just kidding, it can't get any more objective than this...Cable Length is our category #4. Don't overlook this category when choosing a headset. Think about where you sit when gaming, how much cable do you need. Your not going to get custom lengths, so you may have to buy an extension cable.
If you have different spots to lounge while gaming, you'll have to consider the location that will need the longest length of cable. Thankfully you can get extension cables in varying lengths. Don't get 15 meter cable if the longest you'll need is 2 meters just because it's inexpensive, you're not doing yourself any favors, cables can become a tangled mess if not extended.
You will want the cable to be long enough to lay across the area between you and your connection point, you don't want it stretched through the air like a overhead power grid line. With respect to this category, do a little measuring, from the connector point on the console or processor down to the floor, then across the floor to the point on the floor directly below your headset/ear location and up to the headset/ear location. Keep that measurement in mind while looking over the list's data. If the cable supplied is not long enough, you'll need an extension.
