I recommend you read that thread if you want to buy some sort of headphones.
I recommend Fate's headphones, best going around at the moment.
Plantronics Gamecom, are what I'm using listed on that thread. I bought them a year ago for 10 bucks, they are probably a 7/10 overall and many people have issues with them falling apart or breaking in some way (I've not had this trouble).
I used to use heavy bose headphones + a mic mounted on my monitor but I found that system to be lacking... and then my cat chewed the headphones to bits. It was at that point that I vowed to never spend more than 100 bucks on that sort of thing again. I wanted a headset combination rather than using two pieces so I kept an eye on amazon and got a great deal imo.
Would I recommend Plantronics Gamecom wear? for 10 bucks definitely, any more than 50 I'd make sure you shopped around. I found they easily compared to steelseries headsets and so far mine has lasted longer than either of my friends "gaming" sets one using a steelseries, the other a razer.
I actually bought 2 more of these while they were on for 10 bucks to have as back ups because I tend to blow the speakers in headphones frequently. I ended up giving one away, and keeping one still sealed away in its package in storage.
