I own a Creative Fatality headset but find it to be uncomfortable and was looking for a new pair, I looked at http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-ga...ets/vengeance-1300-analog-gaming-headset.html these by corsair and they have good reviews but though I might as well ask here before I just jump into buying anything as I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to audio.

Do you want a Headset with a mic or would you consider buying a set of Headphones and mic seperately? The reason being that you can get amazing Headphones at much better prices that a Headset...
Well as per this:

You can buy an addon mic to make it a kind of headset, you just need to deal with the two sets of cables and tie them together or something

Regular headphones do tend to be better since we seem to end up paying a large premium for decent headsets... Or you get given some cheap pos that's overpriced 
Back in the day I used Sennheiser headsets for around the £30 mark and they seemed ok for general use. Sennheiser are at least a fairly well regarded brand in the audio world so you can't really go too far wrong with them.
More recently I developed a more expensive taste and splashed out on a custom Beyerdynamic MMX 300 which was the best headset I could find.
