I had a Logi USB headset, it worked for about 6 months. Then my rabbit ate the cords....
I am planning on getting one of the best headsets out there for the money. An Icemat Siberia. 79 bucks and you get a nice mic and a 7.1 headset. :) |

I use a no-name one I ordered from newegg, it was like 15 bucks. Decent sound quality, mic works fairly well. It's regular a/v plugs instead of USB.

3 mics? How long before the mics going out? If we are talking years before the mic dies, then thats ok. If its like months, then I would check the mic socket; it maybe shorting the mics out.
I have used a Plantronics for over 4 years without trouble. foam cupped ears, left side adjustable boom, volume control and mic mute on cord, under $40. |

I've got this one from Plantronics and use it for IP Telephony. It's a great headset.

The ones I had were a Altec Lansing AHS-502's, I see they are still for sale on Amazon. The mic jack is fine because I've had 2 different mobo's and the mic goes out on the sets. I am willing to bet that it is the wires in the cord, because it is so thin and so much flexing might of broken the wires inside. That is my own guess. -d |

Well gaming headset under $40 here are the best choices.
Plantronics Sennheiser says $60, but that link up there shows them selling for 40ish Looking at the specs, and taking into account you dont need to hear things only dogs hear  I'd go with the plantronics. Both are the same.

I tried looking for a set at Walmart, but I couldnt tell if the ones they had were USB or stereo connectors (I need USB so I can still use my surround sound), no where on the packages did they list it, or show the ends of the wire.

If you're looking for a USB headset at Walmart, check out the ones w/ the PS2 stuff for SOCOM. I tried to upgrade my headset for PS2 at Walmart and the ones I bought all had the 1/8" plugs, the SOCOM headset is pretty good and has USB.

I use a Plantronics Audio 90 headset. It's pretty decent for the $30 I paid for it.

I ended up buying the Plantronics 550... on Plantronics website they sell it for $120... Newegg had it for $59.99. Bad news... it acts as its own sound card.. and despite what people reviewed it, it sounds horrible compared to my old headset that was $25 and used with my Audigy 2. I'll see if I get used to it. It feels really nice and looks awesome. Everything sounds like I am in a tunnel.

It may be a defective unit. I had a pair of headphones that sounded great for about a year, but they started failing and I got the "tunnel" effect. |

I tweaked with the drivers and settings and it sounds a lot better now. So far I'm pleased with the headphones. But now I need to install my 2nd USB face plate in this pc.. too many damn usb devices!
