Headset options?

LS30s arrived today. Very elegant and functional design. By far the best controls of anything I've tested so far. Sound is well balanced, non-fatiguing with sensible EQ presets (the bass boosted one sounds best for games so far).

On the downside, there's no surround sound and the earcups are a little snug for my liking, although well padded. No sign of the dreaded 'hot ear' yet so hopefully they'll be ok. There's a little bit of white noise at high volumes. It's very unobtrusive with the mic muted but more noticeable using the built in mic. Haven't tested the detachable boom mic yet.

Great wireless headsets with a mic do not exist, I've tried them all. Wireless=expensive too. I just use the bundled thing if online and play sound on my Bose sound system in night time mode.

Well Dave was right. I tried the Playstation Gold, Astro A50, Madcatz FREQ 9, Madcatz Tritton Katana HD and Lucidsound LS30. They were all flawed, either in terms of comfort, sound quality or generally both.

Have now done what I should have done originally which is buy a pair of Sennheisers (in this case the RS 175). Now to find a separate USB mic.
