i would suggest looking at a set from here, have 2 sets of headphones from here and they are amazing:D:D:D:D:D

I know a guy who uses these and loves them, but Ive found the price of a pair that look good are about $250.

Im looking at a pair of plantronics; they seem both cheap, reliable and decent in sound quality

I've got beyerdynamic DT234 Pro Headset http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=16
The boom mic died to using Zalman mic.  Nice n' lite though no frills like remote volume or mute mic.

Jr uses Plantronics 367. Remote volume n' mute mic.  Tight fit on my big noggin n' a bit heavy. We have two of these, one for Jr and one for spare PC.  Spare PC set is held together by gaffa after it broke just before BoHiCa was coming over for some PR/BF2 action a while back, hence 2nd pair purchase.  Two+ years later and the gaffa is holding and mic's working on the first set and Jr is still abusing n00bs on 2nd set.

Recently the best pro/budget compromise was Zalman mic n' AD700 http://headphones.com.au/psingle?productID=178

Will watch this too. My son, all 10 months decided my MS headset was worth chewing on. So soon I will need to shop around for some.

I've got a steel series headset.

http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-5hv2

It has a flexible mic boom thingo that also retracts into the headpones which is hand when eating. Super long cable with plugs halfway down so it is easy to swap from head sets to speakers on the desk. The surround sound in these is really good. Made an immediate impact on my gameplay in bc2 as I could hear people sneaking up behind me. Not so much in bf3, not sure if it is because the sound is not so good in bf3, or I haven't updated drivers.
I have a big head, and big ears and they cover them comfortably. THe head band is also padded and my head doesn't get sore from it.
My only complaint about them is they came with an external sound card which is shit, so why include it, and they get hot, but that is common to any clam headsets.

had mine over 2 years now and going strong.  plus no cables trip over

yeah, a mate of mine has them. absolutely brilliant but they arent for me at that price (and Im done with most wireless stuff now)

Im looking at either one of the many plantronics gamecon whatchamacallems or the Logitech G35 as posted earlier

why do I want to avoid anything thats surround sound, harry?

The RRP in Aussie is insane!  i bought mine from NZ when i was over there,  $150 NZD, thats like, just over $100UAUD if that even! 
And that was normal price from a legit store (computer lounge in albany)

[KARNAGE]

and they get hot, but that is common to any clam headsets.

umm, what?

I saw the sound card thing but I wont be looking into that (unless they're really cheap). And sillen, I saw that headset tested out in a PCPP review with some good results (if I remember it correctly); but it's out of my price range

the steelseries are nice but out of my price range, even though that retractable mic is tempting.

Im looking at either the Logitech G35 for $100
or the Plantronics Gamecom 377 for $43
(both from Umart)

[abbadonz]

id say if you have to go wired, go G35.  Also real nice retractable boom / 3x buttons on the left earpiece (G1/G2/G3 programable) and a volume dial

[KARNAGE]

Ok but this is starting to annoy me, what's a boom? (other than the sound)

[abbadonz]

the Mic "arm"

ill show

Image 1, mic down


Image 2. Up


Oh and these auto mute when you move the mic up

[Syklone]

This is a "BOOM" stick.

ok, cool, thanks

also that set looks a lot like a wireless headset a mate of mine has. I'm probs just getting the wired version

I've decided on the LG as a review on umart said if you're looking for a good headset to go more upmarket than the plantronics.

I wanted a boomstick but Ive been advised that the head is not a good place to rest it. mixed messages in marketing

I received mine this afternoon (G35 headset that is) and already I reckon it's the best headset I have owned... 7.1 surround is pretty cool, like the mic, clear as a bell... +1 recommendation the G35 from me...

lets hope this thing can last longer than a year; although LG tend to have decent quality

its not LG karnage, its logitech.

Mine has lasted a couple years so they do okay
