Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Suggest to me a Headset

Dunno if this should be in H/A but I figured most of you should have some sort of headset for game communication so I'll place the thread here.
Aaanyway, I've been using this cheapo headset for the past 8 months (it cost something around the lines of £7, according to my uncle). It was a perfect headset in terms of sound quality, both speakers and mic.
Of course, it died recently (more specifically the left side is dead, apparently this is a common problem), else this thread wouldn't be born.
So I'm here for suggestions on decent quality headsets that won't break my bank (I'm look around a budget of £20-£30, the former preferably).
Those not using British currency, I would appreciate any comments on what headsets you're using, any things to take note of (like how I can tell if the sound quality is decent from looking at the specs given at a website - "Sensitivity: -47 dBV/Pascal" means nothing to me at the moment).
Currently I'm looking at this and this but suggestions are welcome. I would just like a headset that gives decent sound quality (I listen to music on the headset often).

Not those specifically, but they're nice.
But get SENNHEISER. Seriously. I've had my sennies for over a year now.
Sennheiser is never bad though, even though these do block out noice from surroundings very well (can also be annoying 8-))
So yeah, Koss or sennheiser, I think sennheiser is more 'spensive, and also open style, and have slightly weaker bass, it's a question of preference really.

And whatever you do, DO NOT buy a Logitech headset.
I have these as well, and they are good quality. But they are kinda uncomftorable.
Agreed. Top notch products.
I'd never pay more than $35 for a headset. They're almost certainly going to break within a year no matter what you do, so don't spend too much.
I just ordered a pair of these from newegg.com. My old Logitech mic/headset , that came free with the collector's edition of UT2K4, foam is coming off.
So I wanted to get a decent set that should last a while, and are comfy for long sessions of use.
I'll let you know what I think when I get them.
