Budget Gaming Headset

Posted this on the Sound area but it's dead there.

Can anyone recommend me a Gaming Headset for around the £20-£30 mark?

Cheers guys.

do you want surround sound ?

I have medusa's altho they are quite a lot

SpeedLink Medusa SL-8796 5.1 Home Edition + 5.1 Amplifier - £50.95 £59.87 inc VAT

I have heard the zalman surround sound headsets are good tho and they are quite cheap. Think they are under £30, can't see them on the site tho?? I remember them being there a while ago :confused:

Get a set of Sennhiesers, brilliant, unless your wanting a mic too!

I just got £5 headset from a local comp shop. Not bad but they do get uncomfortable and hurt the ears after prolonged use but there fine for like a hour gaming.

so as it turns out I just sat on my headphones. hmm. I have often been tempted by PC150/1s, but is it true there's a lot of leakage? I'd rather not have leakage given where they'll be used.

edit: btw there was a headset thread in this here forum not long ago

Sennhieser £17.99 ones. I got meduse and they were terrible, parts fell off and the mic broke. My £18 senn headset has been great (better sound quality aswell)
