    Dude, I have had some mighty cheapo headset/mics over the years and they all were good enough to get me by on Ventrilo or teamspeak or whatever we used at the time. I was using a $10 set from Big Lots most of the time and it wasn't the mic that made me upgrade, it was the earphone quality.

    Lulz, Jack trust me your 'engrish' is fine. In most cases it's far superior than that of the individuals from England that come on vent... ;)

    From Amazon:

    -Good: Steelseries 51100 v2

    -Better: Steelseries 5H v2

    -Best (Never buy another set in your life): Sennheiser PC-350

    *The Sennheiser's are a great price right now, they're usually in the $200 range, the mic and audio drivers are amazing (they also feature replaceable ear pads).

    Sennheiser PC151 - $51.99

    Anything more might be overkill unless you also have a very good sound card to maximize the sound quality.

    Logitech Clear Chat wireless, bill fiddy, worth every penny when you can get up and go to the fridge for beer without interupting your tunes.

    Plantronics .Audio 355. used my BestBuy reward certificates and paid $4.63 in cash :)
    Glad I didn't pay any more, cuz they aren't all that great.

    ***EDIT*** Decided to follow CABJ and killur_z's lead and trade up for the Gamecom 377 and paid the extra $4 (had another BB reward thingie). Definitely sound better than the 355 I had, but a little tight on my ears. Hope they will loosen up a bit over time.
    thanks dudes :walkman:
