New headset (recomendations)

[trigger2]

So, my not-so-little pup just started to run the Ididerod (jumps on the end of the couch, darts around the table and repeat), well, my headset was sitting on the end of the couch, and the left earpiece didn't like the 100lb dog flying through the air and landing on it... snapped clean off along with the wires. So now, I get to go out and buy a new headset. I don't want to get the same one, the mic was craptastic as any of the rooks that've seen me on can vouch for, but I'm open to reccomendations.

Thanks!

Depends on how much you would like to spend.  Google "Turtle Beach".  Excellent headset.

Have seen headsets in Radio Shack for just under $20.  Also one in Wal-Mart for $15.  Both were stereo, with a boom mic.

I had one of the "higher end" Radio Shack headsets... wouldn't wish them on the squeakers even...
And I trust Wal-Mart's even less.

Found my new headset! Love Creative products, had their mp3 (v plus) for about 4 years now, no issue with it.

I seem to have the best all around luck with $40 headsets. Seems any higher end set the mic always sounded like donald duck.

Been playing with a $20 head set for a year now.  Starting to have troubles with it now. 

Pardon the slight hijack, but maybe someone can explain it.

It is a two plug headset. One for the mic and one for the audio.  They're little round jacks; not sure of the exact designation.

Anyway, the audio is very muted unless I pull the audio plug about half way out.  Is it the computer's jack or the headset's plug that is the problem?

I use a head set that I bought for $20 at Wal-Mart.  Works just fine in my opinion, and since it was cheap, I don't worry about the kids tearing it up or my wife sucking the cord up into the vacuum...

Maybe a high end head set would be cool to have, I don't know.  I enjoy the game with my cheapo one.

Mine was a bday gift so I couldn't turn it down.  I had an old Logitech one that worked fine for years but the audio is much better with this one, plus I have been told that I sound a lot clearer with the new one.  Don't know if it's that or I'm handling the adult beverages better with time, not too sure about this one.

Turtle beach X52, no sound cards or anything. Best headset I bought in 2 years of flying, have it for about 8 months now, and it finally starting to show wear, has a crack on the movable piece of the headset. Quick fix but thats all

I have a 40 dollar Gigaware from Radio shack and a 30 dollar one from Walmart. I love the one from walmart as it fits on my head and the mic is adjustable, plus if it breaks I'm not crying because I spent a boatload.

$10 Miniplug Logitech mic
 &
Sennheiser EH150 Headphones = The best thing I did. 

I went through a Labtec headset and 2 Plantronics headsets.   I've had these two for 3 years.

I thought I could both hear...and audibly locate enemy GV's with my old headset.

I had NO idea what I was missing until I got these........

Those are awesome headsets!!!!!!  Well worth the price.

[ZetaNine]

yeah....I really dig them...once I got the surround sound thing calibrated correctly.

pink floyd does not sound too shabby in them either.
