I'm just wondering if anyone has any good headsets that they could recommend. I'm looking for something with ear pads, good mic/sound quality and wireless would be a huge bonus, but it has to be USB. Price isn't a concern here, I'm just looking for a really good headset.

Just go to Best Buy. You can get a decent headset for $20.

Yeah, a decent one goes for about that much. However, he did say he wants a really good headset. I got a lil' logitech one for 25 bucks or so a while ago. It serves me well since it's cushion-y and I can literally use it for hours. Not super dooper surround sound quality, but great mic. And USB of course.
So yeah, I know of decent headset, wouldn't know much about super ones though. = 12 = |

Medusa 5.1s -- These are what I plan on getting when I give away my current headset.
SteelSeries 3H -- This is what I used to use, and is my favourite headset evar; it lacks bass, which can be a good thing or a bad thing I suppose. I hear the 5H v2s are amazing too and have a lot more bass, plus it comes with a usb soundcard. |

I just use the stereo array mic that came with my mobo (sits on top of my monitor) + some aiwa earmuff headphones that caff & i both bought like 10 years ago. Mine are still good, but I'm almost positive he's destroyed his.

Siberia Icemats. Apparnetly they are pretty popular for gaming. Good sound, clip on mic. You can detach it and use them as normal headphones too.
![[Image: siberia3.jpg]](http://www.modthebox.com/reviews/icemat/siberia/siberia3.jpg) Very nice, and very sturdy construction. The earpads are velvet too  And they are pretty "cheap" too. Got mine for around $60-$70 ![[Image: a731e9e08c48b218b111e3275e851e8e.gif]](http://content.ytmnd.com/content/a/7/3/a731e9e08c48b218b111e3275e851e8e.gif)

NCSoft has a promotion going on, If you bought Tabula Rasa or just preordered it, you got a free (GOOD) headset. However, no one ever bought the game so we started giving them out to everyone at my work, so I took 2 of them. If you go to Gamestop/Eb Games they might have some kicking around somewhere so just go and ask. |

necroing a thread instead of making a new one. Same question, I'm finally replacing my mic and decding to get an actual headset this time around. Any suggestion, not to stingy, but +$20 seems a little much. Any tips?

If you go to a local best buy you can probably get a decent logitech one for 20-something dollars.
