Headset model/brand recomendation?

[TDSChristy]

OK so I am embracing my YIM call feature and need to get a good/cheap/comfortable headset. I am tired of holding up the right earbud from a regular headphone set. Have been doing research on line for reviews, but it is making my brain melt. So please help me out. What set do you guys use? Pros and cons etc. Thanks in advance .) Here's to some hands free chatting!



Arg......... can a moderator please spell recommendation correctly for me?? I was getting happy with the "C" key.....Thanks .)

I bought a Logitech ClearChat Pro USB headset last month for about $40 at Circuit City. I tried out the mic on Skype a few days ago to test it and it sounded great. They had one for a little over $50 that was the next Logitech model up and had volume controls on the headset, but I prefer the inline controls that I have on mine. There is a mute button for the mic, so I really didn't want to pay the extra $13 or so for a just a couple of things that may or may not have been better than the features on the one I bought. What I like is that there are no hookups for a speaker or mic port, everything is through one USB connection. Good luck in your headset shopping adventure

Tandy, you know you want to be ghetto with me!

Ok, Tandykins, let me save you afew $$.. In Target, you can buy 2 different ones.
One is made by GE, and costs $15. It is standard two plug, and they are color coded, for the electronically impared. There is an inline volume control for the headset. no mute button. The mic is built in and permanently attached. The head band is the OVER THE TOP style. This is probably the one that Sarah is using, since it's the one I recommended to her.
The second is $20 and is made by Logitech. It is foldable, and the mic can de unplugged, It also has the standard 2 color coed plugs, and has inline volume control, and it has mute button. The headband is the BEHIND THE NECK style.
I have one of the first, and 2 of the second. I use the first one the most at home, since I can sit in the recliner and lean back kagainst the headrest of the chair and not crush the headband against my neck. I broke the first of the foldable ones while travling, repaired it, and keep it at work, and the second of those is the one I use when I travel, since it folds upi so neatly.

The sound quality is nice, but I wouldn't use either of these for listening to music. (Audiophile!!!) I wouldn't pend $50 or more for these if you are just planning to use them for ingame, or other, chat over the VOIP These more than suffice for gaming!

logitech usb premium headset 350 what i got ......window xp recomend s the usb hook up was about 38$ this is a over head type w/volume control and mic control, sound better than my speaker system. lol. the earbud type with 2 plug could never get it to work.
