What is the best Gaming headset? Definitions- Comfort, being able to wear the set for 4 hours or more without your ears turning blue or your head in a vise. Quality of sound, clear, crisp sound coming in and your voice going out. Not like a Burger King drive up menu speaker-mic. Solid construction- It should last more than 6 weeks before it goes dead, breaks in two, or the wires fall out. Something of quality like a CH product. Price under $200.00 Thank you Ketinkrad

I don't remember what it cost me, but the turtle beach is the best i have found! the one i have has3 or 4 speakers in each ear and a mike, it works great for the game as i can hear, all around me with the surround sound on. it has multiple plugs for each speaker set and a plug for power from my computer port as well and built in amps with each speaker set having its own volume as well as a master volume control!

I have the Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA2 headset and I love it. Very comfortable and the sound is great.

Get a turtle beach, you can use it for consoles as well, best bang for your buck. The sound quality is great as well :salute

I have the turtle beach and the sound quality is awesome but the screws on the lower end of the headset stripped out so I had to supereglue it together.

I have the same one Ack-Ack has, but he copied me :P
Sound is great, voice quality is very good, and you can where them for hours on end. I think I only paid $50 for mine on Ebay.

Might need to buy one of those TB ones. Got a Saitek GH30 for 20 bucks off newegg, as a quick replacement for my broken cheapo. Damn that thing is so uncomfortable after about 10-20 minutes. I'm constantly placing it all around my ear as I get very bad headaches, and my ears kill, if I take it off, and put it back on in the same spot. Good sound quality when the vibration (bass booster) is off, though. Mic isn't great.

I've got Koss SB-45, bought them in December 2008 on Amazon for ~$30. They've preformed excellent for a year and a half and that includes a couple quick trips across the room. :D

I have a pair of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FY7LBQ/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=electronics (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FY7LBQ/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=electronics)
Longer cord than most others...long flexible mic boom...excellent sound quality on both speakers and mic...comfortable...good durability...and quiet externally...adjustable speaker volume control and mic on/off switch on the cord.
For the cost you could get 5 pairs and save a $100...that way you would have spares when you break a set after getting rammed for the tenth time in an hour...and extra money to keep your liquor cabinet stocked.

This is what I have:

It has a usb interface, true 5.1 surround, looks like it was made for my track clip pro, and the sound is absolutely amazing!
It looks like this is discontinued, but it appears that the non-usb version (plugs directly into the sound ports on the computer) runs about $80 or so.
And yes I know about how USB sound devices eat up resources and all of that, but I have not had a single problem with mine.

Yes, it will. I'm not sure how you could deduce it wouldn't fit by looking at a picture.
I have a Track IR with the Proclip, not that I ever use it. I'm too accustomed to hat switches. I have in the past had the Proclip on the Psykoaudio headset when I was experimenting it.
+2000 :)

I love my Sennheiser pc350. This is the second Sennheiser set I have owned (gave PC150 to my 13 year old after 6 years of use) and I love this one. MSRP is $230 but you can find it for as low as $126.70 at http://www.provantage.com/sennheiser-communications-pc350~7SENN06F.htm

No desire to look like a borg abortion for that price...

Saitek pro flight headset. Good for long hours and the soundis very good.
Have had mine for a about 6 months or so now. The foam around
the ears is soft so they wear long.
