Sennheiser is the best brand for high quality headphones. “Sennheiser PC151 Over The Head Headset” (with Noise Canceling Mic and In-line Volume Control) (~$50)

If you want to spend more, i highly recommend: Whenever you bump into the headset, it feeds loud noise in your ear.For this amount spent, there are better ones. It's clunky and heavier than necessary.If you wear it for more than 1 hour, it hurts your ears.“Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000” Buy at amazon

Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 HeadsetĪfter few hours of research, i end up buying “Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 Headset”. USB is better because it is digital, and it's just a single plug. One plug for the microphone hole and another for the headphone hole. The cheap ones use analog plug, the same ones used in music players. There are 2 connector types for the headset. Microphone is also important, because it'd be a headache when you trying to voice with someone and the message is repeated “can you hear me? can you hear me alright?”. Headphoneįor gaming, you want the headphone part to be high quality too, because otherwise music would sound bad, or you don't get the thundering “boom” effect when bombs go off. If you use headset for more than 1 hour a day, then, you need something comfortable, high quality, and with good microphone. I would recommend Microsoft, Logitech, or Sennheiser brands. If you use headset casually, such as 30 min a day for online voice chat, then any $20 ones will do fine. There are lots of headsets out there, from $10 to over a hundred.
