Looking to buy a new headset

But if you want something more costly and more features, choose the Astro that Deathstrike posted.

Really...?
But astro headset looks like mediocre quality, and paying for the name and looks. For the price, even from a headset I would expect more (as in, the only feature is the mic and virtual 7.1)
I still recommend getting the zm-mic1 and a pair of headphones to save yourself a lot of money and get a better quality. You could even find a pair of virtual 7.1 headphones if you so desire, but I urge you to stay away from the headset area, unless its a generic 10 dollar pair, since as I said, the crap quality mic they slap on headphones bumps the price up a few hundred% more often than not.

This.
And Stay AWAY from Turtle Beach. The audio is pretty good but they have horrid build quality. I had two break in the same week.
ATM I have some Rosewill headset. I don't really like it. The sound has no bass at all (although clear) and the Microphone is meh. And it does not block out any sound at all. And it's big and clunky. Before I had this $20 logitech headset and it was super nice but broke in about a year and a half :(
Seinheisser makes very good headphones, btw. And Sony.

I get your point, but I'd prefer to have a headset with an attached mic. I was thinking of getting a Razer Tiamat 2.2 when it comes out (sometime this month.) Are there any headsets or headset manufacturers out there who are bent on voice quality as well as sound quality?

Is there a reason you *need* a mic attached? Because a mic that clips on (mic I suggested does) to the headphone cable is effectively the same thing as an attached mic.

I can't purchase a clip-on mic because I only use paypal for my online purchases. Amazon doesn't support paypal, and newegg.ca doesn't have any clip-on mics.
