Title: Headset
Post by: FX1 on September 19, 2007, 01:17:18 PM: I am in need of a good headset. I have always had problems with headset. I just broke my last pair today.

This set looks like a no thrill strong headset. Can anyone recommend a good cheap headset? I would like to go to bestbuy or frys to pick one up tonight.

Sound (Including bass) is great, though after several hours I get a headache.

Post by: Masherbrum on September 21, 2007, 03:33:27 PM: I went through 1 Labtec headset and 2 Plantronics headsets. When the 2nd plantronics mic went, I bought a standalone mic for $9 at BB. When the phones went, I bought a $50 pair of Sennheisers. I don't regret it.

Post by: hubsonfire on September 22, 2007, 11:35:37 AM: I have had great luck with my plantronics (gamepro 1 or something like that- $30 off the shelf at Circuit City). Conventional 3.5mm plugs, not the usb model. Great sound, have survived numerous trips to the floor, comfortable to wear.

edit : Found it:
