Chosing a headset/mic

Post by Alan Bolte »

I just happen to have some points to spend in a sales incentive program where I work. The whole project ends next week, so I won't get getting any more points, which leads me to try and find something to spend them on. I'm thinking of buying a headset or mic, and I can afford one of the following:

Logitech® Premium Stereo Headset
Logitech® Extreme PC Gaming Headset
Logitech® Internet Chat Headset
Logitech® Desktop Microphone
Plantronics .Audio™ 350 Ultimate Performance Headset
Sony DR-115DP

I can also afford a few single-ear headsets, but I don't really like those...

I know we've got a few audio nuts around here, so what do you suggest?

I own a Logitech that you don't have listed, and the Plantronics one looks the best by far. You pay an extra $10 for it, though. If you don't want that one, I'd go for either of the middle Logitechs. The headstrap constructions on the Sony and other Logitech don't look like they'll last to me.

Extremely comfortable, with a good mic as well.

look for it on Newegg or JR.com though, mine didn't cost anywhere near the price Turtlebeach.com lists.
