I'm planning on buying a computer headset (which are basically headphones with a microphone). It's nothing special — it'll be mostly used for gaming. I'm thinking of buying one online or from the Melbourne CBD, but I'm having trouble finding one which is good for its price.
Anyone have headset suggestions? I'm completely confused on what to buy.
Depending on your expectations what about something like this?

Plantronics has good cheapies. I think I got a 377 for $25. Comfy and does the job.
The Logitech ClearChat Comfort (USB) is something I'd recommend. I'm no audiophile so I can't really comment on the audio quality, but the actual build of the headset is really good. (Don't wanna count the amount of times I've tripped over the cord and sent it to literally smashing on the floor). But I've used it for gaming a lot and they're fine for the job
Bought it a couple years ago and still going strong despite all those falls. I really like the headphone cups too (some sort of leather PU), they're not the cheap ones you find on like airline headsets. (Although some people find them too tight/uncomfortable so YMMV).
I bought it for ~$30 when it came out? Cheapest I could find it for was ~$40 on ebay, so not sure about other headsets around that price.
Hope that helps!
