 Re: Headsets
I use a logitech USB 350, I think I payed about $40 refurbished a couple of years back. It still works fine. I don't really like the USB but the sound is well worth it.

 Re: Headsets
I'd say that any logitech headset with 2 headphones that have decent padding around the $40-$60 range is good. I've had 2 3 of them past 2 years and they were all great... Only had so many because I have this habit of getting the cord caught on my foot and walking away so the wires actually got pulled out of the headphone part in about 2 weeks on the first pair, then i stopped, haha. So really they lasted a year for me, but I really am terrible at taking care of them.

 Re: Headsets
I F*CKING love this headset. Got it 3 days ago and it works on the 360 too! It's costs more but it's worth it! http://www.steelseries.com/int/products/audio/siberia-neckband/information

 Re: Headsets
I think I am going with either the G35 or the razer-megalodon. What do you guys think ?

 Re: Headsets
vanilla that looks pretty sick. i might have to pick those up, because my gamplay on 360 is the one thing that really annoyed me is not being able to hear left/right very well. with mw2 coming out, i really may end up getting these, i just wish they weren't $120. although i still love my brookstone ear buds for $35.

You can get them cheaper on other sites.

 Re: Headsets
I just bought a logitech g35, after using my friends set for a week I realized that they're ridiculous.
You can get 'em on amazon for 106 and they are well worth it.

 Re: Headsets
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F2BLTW/ref ... B000F2BLTWWhat I'll probably be getting. You could always just go with simple USB one from bestbuy or radioshack.

 Re: Headsets
vanilla you still like them after a week? some of the reviews say the mic sucks and they constantly "fall" off your head.

 Re: Headsets
They probably say they fall off of your head because of the fit of neckband headsets. They are different that regular ones and the way they want to wear them is higher on their head and it slides down to a point and they don't like it.

 Re: Headsets
Yeah np. I remember when I got a neckband a long time ago and I hated it for that fact for a while until I got used to it a little. Still wasn't the most comfortable because of the cushions being hard as F*CK because it was a $10 headset.
