Headset/mic recommendations

[bladefd]

Hey, I was going to buy a new headset and wanted some recommendations. I actually have 2 choices right now.
1. I currectly have an icemat siberia and the mic on it is dead. I can't get it to work so I emailed icemat and they said that they must replace the whole headset, not just the mic. If I went that path, it would take weeks for them to send my headset back so I would be soundless for like 2-3 weeks - maybe longer. (If somebody has experience with icemat RMA, let me know how long it took them).
2. The other choice I have right now is buying a whole new pair of headset. The only thing is that I don't want to spend 70 bucks again on headsets. $70 is too much for a pair of headsets and I regret doing it. Let me know what you all think. I need to make a choice asap. Thanks people.

I recently bought these, I was able to get them for 10 bucks!!
I think they are great, the sound is nice and clear, people can hear me perfect, at first the fit seems a little weird cause of the shape but after they become very comfy!!

so, I def recommend these!! oh and the quality is pretty nice as well!!

I recently bought some Logitech headset and so far it has been pretty good. I think i got them at Target for like $25!! If you keep it on your head for 4+ hours, you need to readjust them. For the price they are great and work well with TeamSpeak.

I've had the GameComPro1 for about a year now and its the best headset I've ever had. I've gone through about 7 or 8 different ones before. Main problems always being uncomfortable for long gaming sessions. These things are really comfortable. USB with their own dsp and a noice cancelling mic. Check reviews at bottom.

Somebody told me they aren't unidirectional. Does it record lots of background noise or what? I really don't want a lot of background noise distracting people and stuff.
