I hate small headphones, I like big headphones that go completely over my ears, and a mic that is flexible and will rest in front of your face. Think Pilot headphones...

I don't need stellar sound quality its just for voice (FSX and WOW), and ambient WoW sounds. As long as the mic quality is there so I don't sound like an idiot with a broken mic I'll be happy.

I went through the egg, buy.com, amazon.com and all the ones with "big" ear muffs (lol good movie) are only big enough to sit on top of, not over your ear. I'm used to my senheisser's that are huge, and love them, but can't wear a headset mic AND the headphones, thats just a PITA.

Also i'd like it to be USB, because I route voice to my headset in FSX.

There are some circumaural headsets from koss in the 40 dollar range. have a look at those. If you find any others please post them in your reply! would love to hear about them.

The problem is that many companies seem to think that gamers want small, light headsets, so the really awesome ones that helicoptor pilots and NFL coaches use are still hundreds or thousands of dollars. oh well.

Well i've found a few more, but nothing seems stellar...

Reviews complained about the headset fitting very tight on the head...I already have a larger than normal head, so I'm guessing these are out. Plus they aren't USB.

I also found these - my complaint about them is I don't know if the mic is good, since there isn't really a picture of it.

thoughts?
