Having hands on experience with the Razer Megalodon's i can honestly say they are the most comfortable headset i have ever wore and would recommend them.

Headsets are horrible

Buy a proper set of headphones then a desktop mic

Agreed. Or a clip on mic if you don't want a desktop mic.

Have a look on Amazon, I've brought a cheap one, does the job pretty well.

Really?

Get these: Sennheiser HD555 or Audio Technica ATH-AD700 if you can find them :confused:

Then a cheap mic.

Honestly, it will be infinitely better.

Pretty sure the thread title states "Spec me a headset plz"
Not spec me a set of headphones and a mic.

Have used the Razer Megalodon's?

If you had then i really dont think there would be any need for a shock reply of

Really :eek:

For £100 you can get massively better sound quality than the likes of Razer, Corsair, Logitech, Plantronics, etc. will give you

at the very minimum I'd be looking at something by Sennheiser - quite a big fan of the PC163/333D headsets myself if you want a headset, otherwise theres much better combinations with a clip on mic.

Just posted a corsair deal in the deals section, take a look! Save up to £18

Rroff · 11 Aug 2011 at 17:42

^^ Its a very nice deal for anyone looking for a sub £100 headset - but if the OP is willing to pay £100+ then there are better options.

Ever compared headphones to a headset?

If you had you wouldn't be posting that.

The difference is stupidly vast.
