Headsets vs headphones+microphone

I've practically stopped gaming online since my last headset finally died. I've even slowed down on watching a lot of media on my computer as I've grown used to listening through the headset and not the speakers. I was browsing through Newegg for a new pair when something else occurred to me. I could do with a pair of headphones to listen to music with. I've been using the earbuds the player came with for some time now, and I could do with a good pair of headphones for two reasons:
1) I can give them to somebody else if I want to show them something without having to worry about the cleanliness of it all.
2) No need to raise the volume up so high when I'm traveling.
So I have to ask...should I buy both a headset and a pair of headphones
or
should I buy a pair of headphones and a microphone so I can game when I want to?
I would also welcome suggestions on what to get.

In the last 2 months, I've used the following:
Corsair HS1 headet (returned because Mic sucked)
Audio-Technica AD700 (sounded great but lacked the bass I like)
Sennheiser hd555
and now...I'm waiting for the Sony MDR V6 to ship to me.
I think the Clip On Mic is decent but my previous Plantronic 777 Mic sounded much better.
Really? I need a mic but I'm a little concerned about the sound quality of the headsets, especially coming from my HD595s (all my listening is though headphones, I don't have speakers). I thought about just getting a ~$50 USB mic instead.
