i'd go for this one creative fatality USB

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=SP-113-CL&groupid=702&catid=1058&subcat=502

had mine for over a year (not the usb version) comfortable, good quality and doesn't cost much plus a removable mic is a nice bit

Sennhesier PC350 are the best gaming headset there is £90 on OCUK.

bought a set myself a few weeks ago, they seem good, very comfortable as i wear glasses the headphones i had pushed them into my ears a bit hard and hurt me after a while i don't get that with my new ones, the only thing i'm a bit worried about with the fatal1tys is the mic may break after a while as it seems a little flimsy.

I wouldnt buy them fatality ones on principle! they were £18 not long ago on oc'ers!!

Sennheisers tend to be the best ones but at a cost...

 

[robnut]

The normal fatalitys are £16.99 in a highstreet store if you dont shop for it.

as said Sennheisers HD555 i use but no mic but that dont matter

 

[domthecondom]

sennheiser 350, best headphones i have used, can hear EVERYTHING
but OCUK don't sell them no more :S

 

[toxic]

The expnsive SEN's are pretty awsome...have two pairs.

WHOA...why dont OCuk sell senheisers any more????? They are probably beter than everything else they have in stock. I know if I was going to buy another headset...I would defo be buying Sens...so Id go somewhere else. Last 2 sets I have bought from here.

I have PC350s aswell, very good, must get round to doing the mod on them.

i'm cureous... what mod?

 

[bledd]

don't get a 'gaming' headset, they're pointless

get HD555 and a desktop mic (elara clip on mic is good)

I use a Creative Fatal1ty, served me for well over a year now.

Next upgrade should be to HD555/595, not sure when though

these are USB one's not the normal green and orange connector..

Use the creative fatality myself when im not using my speakers and its good enough for me. I also wear glasses and its still very comfortable. I dont really use the mic much though but it seems to be good quality.

They are quite decent, paid around £25 for mine (not the usb ones) around oh maybe a year ago. Amazed to see it at £18 on ocuk not long ago.
