Okay so I'm looking to getting a new headset asap and I'm just wondering if any of you have any suggestions on what to get or know a good website that I could browse, would be nice if it was a UK based website so I don't get charged an extra £10.
Thanks!

Edit: On a serious note: http://www.game.co.uk/en/razer-carcharias-headset-172093?pageSize=20&searchTerm=razer Or: http://www.game.co.uk/en/steelseries-siberia-v2-headset-white-43217?pageSize=20&searchTerm=steelseries&attributeName1=sub%20Genre&attributeValue1=4294966251
Imo shouldnt spend any less than that, I had a £40 headset (turtle beach x11) that was made of plastic and broke after not that long + wasnt good quality sound and I'm sure you know the mic quality wasnt great at times either. I have the razer ones and they r fkn good, got like velvity ear things (or w/e theyre called) and the mic/sound quality is soooooo good. Steel series - again really good, basically same as the razer ones. Any more than this price you're looking into the 5.1/7.1 surround sound headsets like a Razer tiamat at like £150+, and with no sound card that supports either 5.1 or 7.1 they'd be no better than the cheaper versions like the ones I've shown. Thats just my opinion. If you're being a cheapscate - just buy the £2.50 ones and be ready to replace them every 3-4days. Kthx.
2nd Edit: Be sure to check other websites liek amazon/play.com etc. for possible better prices cos I didn't look anywhere else for the purpose of this post.

Well my budget is probably looking at to about £40-£50 and I want a decent mic that will last me a while so I'm looking at some brands like Razor/Turtle beach for one

Sennheiser actually make good sound quality headphones/sets so maybe look at something like that or Sony, + will be cheaper.

I'm just looking for a brand that is reliable and good for the price and Razer/turtle beach are the brands I have heard of I thought about giving them ago and I was just looking at peoples opinions on what brands are good etc, so I'll probably be looking into sony/Sennheiser
