Spec me a headset please!

[Turtles]

I've currently got a Plantronics 350 Audio Headset and the Mic quality is perfect it's just that after a long afternoon of gaming it starts to hurt my ears

I'm hoping to get a new headset and my budget is £30-40. I'll be using it a lot for gaming, a little bit of music listening. The most important things are a crystal clear microphone and that it is very comfortable after a quite a few hours of use.

Any help much appreciated

Do you insist on a headset? Because using a desktop mic with decent headphones could open up other and possibly better solutions

PC151, if you can push to the pc161's you won't regret it at all. They have bigger drivers that can deliver more usable and have a better frequency range, got a pair of 166's myself (the same as the 161's but with a separate usb sound card) and they are fantastic for long hours in front of the pc.
Mic is brilliant quality too.
