Spec a new headset

[Socaddict]

Looking to spend between £30 and £50 for a new headset including a mic.

Don't want USB. Any suggestions?

If you can stretch to £64.99 the Kingston hyperX clouds get a great rating here. rids did a review of them, have a look.

Ooppps!!

Sorry guys!

Roccat Kave XTD STEREO are supposed to be okay too, but the clouds are probably better
(If you can stretch, again)

Failing that these are alright http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-028-PT&groupid=702&catid=1058

Clouds or bust at this budget. Plantronics are 'okay', as long as you dont mind replacing them every month - build quality is pathetic, sound quality is mediocre to boot.

The Clouds are really out of my budget. All I need it for is teamspeak/mumble and listening to the odd bit of in game dota stuff, not music, not films, nothing fancy.

£50 is my absolute limit, these would be to replace my ageing Sennheiser PC151 that I've had for almost seven years.

I'd probably stick with Sennheiser if I was in the same position. PC310, maybe?

The rainforest place had the Cloud at £50.99 a while back, but the price has gone back up (possibly due to near Christmas). Not sure if it will hit that price again...

Koss PortaPro plus a cheapo clip on mic will be better than your average sub-£50 headset then. Admittedly two cables, but thats not too much hassle.

Failing that, then keep an eye out for the Clouds - they normally have sales at around £45-49.
