new headset?

[Matthyahuw]

well, Mattie was kind enough to bite real hard on the volume control on my current headset rendering the set near useless...
anyone have a recommendation on something for about $20?
thanks

Logitech wrap arounds have always been nice to me

These are affordable and have always been good to me.

I also had a pair of these that have some pretty good sound for the price

Edit: Oh I am currently using these and they are way comfortable

I had the ones you posted from amazon, my 1yr old just ate them for dinner. I did like them, but they did get uncomfortable after a while..

I wound up getting some inexpensive Plantronics that are working okay (for now at least).

I know these are out of your price range http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/efhpa2/home.aspx but they are some of the best money I have spent sound wise.

Well, did you need to have a microphone?

Koss makes the PortaPro. If that's too much, there's also the SportaPro. They have a smaller one, their CS80, as well.

I'd almost suggest a better mic, like the Iasus NT3, but that's a very pricey option. There's PC adapters available, and you can turn around and use it for airsoft and paintball.

But look at the spex for the headphone portion, and you'll see what I mean. The typical mass market produced headphones are 20-20K for a range. The headphone components for all of them are 15-25K in range, usually found in more expensive cans with fancy names.

My $.02

P.S. They also have accessoriesfor the volume control, 3-band EQ, and cases.

Its not usb either. It has the four plugs then uses usb to power the amp. I would rather use onboard sound then a usb headset.

This will probably cost you 25-40 bucks, but senheiser hd202's with a zalman clip on mic would be budget friendly winner.

I have been using Senheiser hd280 Pros with a zalman clip on mic for years. I haven't found an equal yet.

Just a thought, and a late one at that.
