Hey, again, ESR members! :D
I got to thinking about what I would be needing next for my pc/gaming experience. The answer is, of course, headset! I know enough about the insides of a pc to upgrade those on my own(like GPU, PSU, HDD, RAM, etc.). Mice and Headsets are where my knowledge is a bit lacking. I currently have a temporary pair of Logitech 390s and the Mic no longer works. I've been joining a group voice chat lately where most everyone plays only QL and it stinks not being able to speak as well as listening.
So, I thought my Mouse thread from the other day was great in that it helped me choose something nice to my liking and it would be a good place to inquire about Headsets.
So, the question I am curious about is: If you had ~$100 American to spend on a new headset, what would you buy? Or, what do you use already, in the $100-120 price range? I'd prefer something that has the headphones and mic all in one device, as opposed to a headset + seperate microphone. 'Earbud' style is also not preferred, for me. =)
I know that there are many reviews and such on amazon, youtube, or whatever that I could read. However, I trust ESR members more than someone that could quite easily have been paid to give their 'honest opinion,' if you take my meaning.
Thanks!
edit: Really feel I should stress that I'd like to keep everything (mic and headphones) on one item so it only uses 1 single USB port. I already have all my ports full, as it is due to normal stuff and my drawing tablet(s). =)
