I need recommendation on headset communication software for games and general use.

I see a lot of friends have headset for Counter Strike. What third party software that are good to use for other games in general. Would like one that support LAN (across the room, the yelling got to stop).

Any recommendation on mic headset as well. Software and headset. Is there one for general communication over broadband? Thanks.

Ventrilo is my preferred software. 8 person server is free.

Headset depends on whether you want ps2 style (monaural and mic) or all your sound coming through the headphones. If the former I recommend Labtec AXis 711, i think there's an amazon store that sells them. If the latter there are many to choose from so just pick a decent brand. Sennheiser is popular. Also, make sure you get a USB cabled set.

ventrilo ftw. other voice software do not even compare. I use mic and headphones separately. I love my Koss portapros. they're cheap, and really good for the price.
