Hey guys, im looking to buy a good headset that i can use for playing things like Counter strike source, im going to be using it for teamspeak defonitely so it should have a good microphone, im not really willing to spend that much, about 20 to 25 pound at the most.

Thanks in advance

SpeedLink Medusa SL-8790 5.1 Surround Headset (SP-000-RA)

I was thinking this?? Its 29.99 VAT from "This week only"

But *** i was wondering, how does it plug into my pc?? Do u have to have surround or some special type of sound card.. or does it go into something normal that most pc's have??

Please get back to me on this asap. thanks a lot

You'll need a 5.1 soundcard to get surround sound from the medusas you're looking at, something like a Creative Audigy 2 or an X-Fi. If you don't have a decent sound card you can get the USB medusas since they have their own soundcard built in. The sound quality isn't as good on them and they're more expensive than the regular version, so I'd steer clear of them unless you have to get them.
