I'm looking for a good headset for around £25 or less.

I've spotted this which looks okay but like I said, I'm clueless when it comes to stuff like this.

Anybody have any suggestions?

looks good to me it uses usb so better sound qualiy and it's always good to have big ones like that so u dont get distracted or something while playing a game, listening to music, or talking to someone through mic and it has a 2 year warenty but the only feature that i can think of that it's missing is noise-canceling (though i dont thing u would need it with those)that said it's still a good headset go for it Thumbs Up

Dave goto PC World (Yeah I know PC World is way over priced) and get yourself a Creative HS-600. Its a nice headset, Great surround sound. Very impressive bass. It should cost you £30. It was once priced at £20 but now it has gone up. You won't be disappointed.

I wouldn't recommend those, having owned a pair I can say I won't own another.

I bought some Sony headphones to replace the logitechs, but they have no mic so they aren't much help to you.

I have to concur here. I have the same headset, and it's the second pair (the first one failed and Logitech sent a second pair free of charge). I also had the Internet Chat Headset, which the microphone failed after a few months of use. Everyone I know that had that same headset each had their microphones fail, too.

Logitech has some decent products, but their headsets are much to frown upon.

I would HIGHLY recommend this headset. I only recently replaced my old HS-600 after 3 years because the left driver gave way. But 3 years is along time to have 1 headset.

How do you get better sound quality through USB? That wouldn't make sense. If it's plugged directly into the sound card it is the best sound quality.

Most sound cards like the one i'm using now (Creative X-Fi Fatality pro gamer) have the ports and options to switch from Headset to Main speakers with a click of a button.

The only thing the USB headsets do is turn two connections into 1. The best place to insert a headset (Or any other sound device) would be directly into the Sound Card. I wonder why I haven't seen any USB sound cards. (Meaning a sound card that accepts USB connections, not a sound card that uses a USB to connect to the computer)

IMO never, ever buy a USB headset. They have their own driver build in and that's bad for gaming or watching movies etc. If you want to take the headset off and use your speakers you have to restart all currently opened applications that use sound. It's just a major hassle compared to yanking two plugs out.

I have a Packard Bell from PC Worlds sale at £9.99. It is so good that I bought the kids one each as well. Its around 2 years old and none of them have failed. All are used on a daily basis. Big Ups

With my USB FM transmitter I only have to change the audio device. Winamp switches over when I play a new track.

One major advantage of USB is that you can split output. E.g. I can stream audio through the transmitter to my stereo and also have Renegade going through my headphones.

I use a boom mic and regular headphones. I've been buying Sony MDR-V150's for like 10 years. Everytime they break I buy the exact same pair because I love them so much. Sound is great, bass is great... They are great.

Bass is excellent but balenced, noise cancellation is great and best of all if you turn up the vibrate setting, explosions rattle your head (if you are into that kind of thing)
