headset for gaming

I was going to put this in the hardware section but i wanted the specific advice of gamers.

I have a Speedlink Medusa 5.1 headset with mic and a USB connector. Now neither myself or the tech support for the headphones have been able to get the mic working. Wasnt really a problem until recently. However, i will now need one to use team speak and they where on the bed and the g/f rolled over one of the ear pieces snapping it off. It now flaps against my head and the wire is wearing through effecting the sound.

I want suggestions for another headset with mic, preferable 5.1, must be good quality, easy to set up and comfortable.

Any suggestions?

although not 5.1 try the Sennheiser PC150's or 160's

160's pwn me :>

budget isnt that big an issue. Upto £60 ish.

Will prefer to spend less but willing to spend a little more if its needed

hello mate
I have the Altec Lansing 5.1 SS microphone
The mic quality is excellent and the sound quality is good too! I don't use the SS in games really, as it irritates me but the SS is very good aswel.
There tech support is great too. I broke my mic the other week (wire sepertated from the socket

) and they sent me out a new one within a week. I didnt even have to prove I actually bought the item! ha. Anyways This is my reccomendation. I suggest you read the reviews on the mics people suggest

All in all excellent mic. Perfect mic input and very good sound quality
