Headset

my second headset in a few months has just disintegrated. To get good sound plus microphone now I am wearing two large broken headsets and look like a twat.

Any recommendation for a replacement much appreciated. Something comfortable for extended use would be good - cheapo ones with a hard plastic band over the head give me a fekkin headache, and a seemingly ok brand I bought a while ago had totally shite voice quality.

I bought an Icemat Siberia headset a while ago and the sound on it is top notch, only downlside is that the mic is seperate to the headset (you can clip it to your shirt or wahtever, i have it clipped to the wire from my keyboard in front of me)

thanks a lot dudes - this has been very helpful. I'm going to spend a bit on higher quality this time round - but reserve the right to make excuses in-game. I need good quality audio with the volume cranked up as that's one of the few things that gives me an edge... Sennheiser PC350's here we come.
