Need a headset...

**fatsheep** · June 09, 2006, 08:12 PM

I'm looking for a good gaming/music headset, preferrably with a detachable mic. I don't have a huge budget for this accessory so I'm looking in the $20-$40 range. Any recommendations?

Ive had a Plantronics headset for a while, it works good, clear sound, comfortable. I really havent used the Mic part for a year or 2 now.

Sennheiser makes top quality headsets. Cheapest of them are a bit more expensive than 20-40 bucks, but if you can afford them they will pay you back soon with great sound quality, long durability and being comfortable even after several hours of playing.

My head set cost me about 100€ couple years ago: Sennheiser Headset PC 160 SK
