Um good headset for gaming?

[Alcoholik]

Ok, my mic just broke... i need to know a high quality good headset to get, any suggestions? i use them for playing Counter-strike source, where sound quality is a must, and the mic, has to be high quality as well. I am not looking to spend more than $50.00, but if you could please leave me a link to a site where i could buy them that would be great, thanks for the help.

Can't go wrong with Sennheiser PC-150.

I would strongly recommend avoiding that headset.

I bought & returned that one before my PC-150s, & i was not impressed.
Sound quality is seriously lacking in those Audio90s.

Agreed, not the best you can get for music but it gives amazing positioning in games. Lets me hear where the enemy is in counter-strike

Plantronics Audio .90s also as long as you keep the package, if you break it you get a free replacement. At least thats what my package said a while back.

Bad sound quality, uncomfortable and not as good positioning... I would much rather have the PC150s. (and I do)

Plantronics DSP - 500's.

is USB so plug in speakers to analog jacks and swap them when you want something else.

EXCELLENT bass if you listen to music, they have a huggeeeeely low freq response and I can feel it all.

EXCELLENT pinpointing accuracy. Not surround, but it sure as hell seems like it. I can play cs and people call me a hacker almost every day because i can pinpoint a footstep through a wall and trace them.

Very comfortableand feel great, huge cord as well so you dont have to worry about length.

awesome warranty. I've had mine replaced quite a few times due to me stepping on them, throwing them around, and just wear and tear.

I just got DSP-500s today and I love them.
