Need headset for gaming

[Soccerman06]

Typical setup, hold headset is dying and I need a new one. Great sound quality is a must, surround sound if possible but not a major deciding factor. Mic quality should be pretty good but I never hear myself so whatever. Input needs to be either dual 3.5mm jack or usb. Id like these to last more than 6 months but lets face it, headsets break easily.

Any help would be great.

More Expensive with even better sound

I use these, they don't need an amp and it's the best mic I've ever used

Very Expensive, you should probably use a headphone amp for it

I already have a Sennheiser HD 595 and HD 650 for my audio engineering... love the quality but was hoping not to spend $150 on a set of headphones Ill have to replace is 6 months :|

The ones you recommended are all either too expensive for what I need or dont have good sound quality (PC30). Id prefer something in the middle around $50ish but I can go either way if they are really good.

you can just get a zalman zm-mc1 clip on mic for your HD 595 or HD 650, which will better than those gaming headsets

Albiet my headphones are nice, Ive never been a fan of clips, so any other suggestions?

I'd say the Sennheiser 161s that Videogames101 linked would be just what you're after. I just got a pair and they seem really nice for the money.

I got mine here : PC 161

well if you are looking for around $50, then Koss SB-45 should be great for that price level (it's around 30ish, plus it got lifetime warranty)
