But the thing is, I can't find any headsets that cover the whole ear with great comfortableness AND have a lovely microphone. My friend has a HD415 and when I put it on...Oh my god...SOOOO comfortable, Just loved it, except, no microphone. Sure, the PC350 has both of what I need...but it's a bit expensive, I was going to buy it, but having second thoughts. I bought the PC151, but, I'm returning it because the earcups are too small, gives me a headache. It's mainly for: Gaming, Listening to Music and using my Rosetta Stone software (That's why I need microphone), Oh, and Long distance calls on Skype. Anyone have any recommendations? ~Abs --------------------  "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

 IRC Nickname: Mike|Sonix Group: Ex-Member Posts: 1483 Member No.: 13 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 103 | HD555 + A seperate microphone is supposedly the best combination, unfortunately HD555s are extremely expensive. I personally use the Steelseries Siberia headset, which isn't as expensive but I find it very good. --------------------  | ||||

The brand is Logitech. I pay a bit extra and keep a warrantee on them in case my dog steps on them again. --------------------  Thank you Garrett and Dallar. “The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them.

This is the exact same one I use. I have the USB sound card version (but you can use it with just the regular 3.5mm jacks), and it comes with software that allows you to control EVERYTHING with your headset, and seperate clip-on mic it comes with. It's very comfortable, and durable as well. BTW, I wouldn't recommend buying any type of headset from Logitech. They break very easily (either snap or the wiring goes bad, or both). I've owned 4 different models of them, all broke/malfunctioned, and even though you can get free replacements even w/o warranty, it's just a hassle. Plus, none of their models are easy on the ears. They hurt after ~3 hours of use >.> -------------------- Kcross73 – KevCross – Kevin Proud Trial Guardian: December 24, 2009 – January 10, 2010 Proud Guardian: January 10, 2010 – February 13, 2010 Proud Event Leader: February 13, 2010 – November 27, 2010 Proud Council: November 27, 2010 – July 5, 2011 | ||||

Hopefully it's comfy on the ears with good sound quality# Thanks guys. ~Abs -------------------- "I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Bose is GOOD, but not the best. There's a company called Shure. They make better headphones/earbuds and whatnot than Bose does for sure. A Bose sound system is pretty good I must say. Not worth the price though. You can make your own speakers and get better sound. Lazy rich people buy Bose. The REAL audio nuts make their own systems. --------------------   | ||||

 IRC Nickname: RobbieThe1st Group: Founder Posts: 770 Member No.: 2 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 49 | Eh... you don't need a great headset. What you need is a great set of earphones and a microphone which will work well for teamspeak. When you look at it that way, you can find what you want for much cheaper. I suggest doing what I do: I have a nice pair of headphones for music, and when I need to go on TS, I wear a cheap $20 headset around my neck, microphone angled up in front of my mouth. It feels a bit odd at first, but its a very nice and cheap solution. The main advantage here is that you get to use whatever pair of headphones you prefer - not to mention that headphones are -much- cheaper than headsets.
