Recommendations for a PC Headset

[JJChicken]

I'm looking in the $100 range, and hoping for one which comes with a mic. I got wroughted on my last purchase, a Microsoft headset which was USB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, my recommendation for keyboard + mouse is the MX 5500. Loving it so much.

Thanks in Advance

Edit: Posted in PC Gaming, because I'll be using the headset mostly for gaming purposes.

I went through many many cheaper headsets (~20-30 bucks) until I finally decided to spend more money on a quality headset.

I ended up w/ the Sennheiser PC 350 Gaming Headset. I know they are ~20 bucks more then you want to spend, but trust me they are well worth it. Very comfortable for long periods of time and the mic works perfectly.

the senn line of pc headsets are very good. all have great mic's and are really durable.

Senn's without a doubt, PC150/160 series are amazing headsets.

I wouldn't suggest the PC350 unless you have a headphone amp, or certain sound cards that have been in headphone amps like the asus essence.

Those senn's are really nice, but I have an ATH-900 that I use for REAL audio.

So I got these for gaming :

RAZER Megalodon and a RAZER Carcharias for cheap...love them both, I can't decide which I like more for gaming.

eah the 161 is what i have i think.

before i had 150 series, i gave those to my parents and got new ones.

those 150's were abused, dropped, stepped on - and still looked great and worked great. all my clanmates said i always sounded clear as day.

sennheiser makes great headphones and are known throughout the audiophile community as a solid headphone company - why not go with headsets from a company that has perfected sound on ears for decades?

same reason i said F* it and just ordered the klipsch promedia 2.1 speakers. klipsch knows speakers - instead of being a company that makes pc peripherals and decided to make speakers. i bought my dad a set last year of the klipsch, the sound is bonkers.
