You guys know of any good headsets I could use for gaming? The Siberia V2 with built-in sound card looked nice, but I'm no expert on hardware. I guess the price range is ~$200.

Go with a good pair of headphones instead, and get either a desk mic or clip-on mic.
Much better quality that way.

I like having it together though :(

but it breaks easily.

99 cents store. That's how I got mine. They don't break down by itself. They do if you break a wire or something, but it's fine enough.
-
but any suggestions on which one?

Pro-tip: Before even plugging your new headset in, get electrical tape and wrap it around where the wires would connect to a circuit or plug a bunch of times because that's where it breaks 90% of the time

For only gaming you should get a pair of Sennheiser 5xx. Fucking amazing comfort.
You can also get a mic called the antlion modmic and you place it on the side of the headphone and then it acts just like a headset

I don't know about you guys, but my cheap microsoft headphone set hasn't broken or anything.

This thing sounds great, records great, and can take some abuse (accidentally tested).
And is a good price too.

So prejudice based on looks :-[

but he can spend up to $200. he can get way better

Not a headset expert.
Had 3 headsets so far.
Siberias are probably my favorite at the moment.
I dont really recommend anything else because "gaming" headsets cannot nearly compare to dedicated headphones.
But you only want a headset, go for the Siberia V2s.

I kind of changed my mind :idk:
Do you guys think this is a good combo?

the m80s are good headphones but they are not good for gaming. they are closed and have a really small soundstage which makes positioning bad. The astros aren't very good either btw.
I'm going to recommend the AKG 240 MKII. It's amazing for the price. It has a huge soundstage which is good for gaming and its also good enough for all types of music. It also comes packed with an extra cable and some velour ear cushions (which are super comfortable).

It has really good build quality and AKG is a very good company. The only issue is it may be a little bit lacking in the bass but that's about it. Besides bass is bad for gaming

I guess I might as well ask here rather than making a new thread. I want to buy a new headset too but I don't want to spend much. I don't like spending much money on these types of things so the absolute most I would pay would be like $30 maybe $40 and I wouldn't enjoy spending that much. So I'm guessing I should probably buy a used set or something.

I say the Panasonic RP HTF600-S for $30 but no idea how much it is in canada

Yes lol but it's really shitty old and beaten up. And it makes my voice sound weird. I want a higher quality one but not one that's super expensive. And the cost would be the same in Canada lol. The Canadian dollar has pretty much the same value as the American dollar and it would be sold for the same price here basically.
Soo yea I need a full headset with mic.

I (and I believe Foofoojack said he also had a pair) have this (http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom-377-Headset-GAMECOM/dp/B004UCXKTC/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1347238636&sr=1-1&keywords=plantronics+gamecom+377). Great budget pair, though the bass is a bit lacking.

Saw those at Best Buy this morning

Yeah, had one. The mic broke on mine.
