Had a look at Volume last night - thanks for that - but no 'gaming' headsets were there.

The price for the Siberia was from http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/61/128/317

Would be interested in cheaper retailers if you can link them

My first 2 headsets were of the Gamecon Series. the only thing i didnt like about them was the Cord that spun up and tangled all the time. annoyed me alot. at the moment i have a Razer Carcharias and they are comfortable. unless you want to listen to dubstep really loud and start head banging they just fall off :P no pressure on the ears at all!

I don't know, I don't use a headset. I have a separate mic to go with my nice headphones.

Just going off the fact that the beyers get recommended by those kinds of websites a lot, as being the best headset in that price range on the market.

shock spin has a clip on detachable omni direction mic, so its pretty different to the other two. just something to take note of, could be a positive or a negative for you.

At the moment I have wrapped a couple of strips of elastoplast around the section of the Plantronics 777 that snapped and it seems to be holding pretty well. It hadn't fully snapped all the way through and super glue didn't do the trick.

So it looks like it might last a bit longer. Will be keeping an eye out for the Siberia's on special too.

I have used clip on mic's before and they are just too fiddly. All in one units just make life a bit easier, quality may not be perfect but it is certainly passable.

Plantronics actually recommended the new 780 headset - but it is not available in Australia yet.

Beyer Dynamic DT190 They're the same Headphones but with a mic that i used for almost every studio when i studied audio production.
Just be wary of the input jack - may be a 1/4".

They're made for productions such as broadcasting and commentators. Not 'gaming' but theres really no such thing as a gaming headset.

mate if u dont need USB -

DT190 sounds pretty amazing, but a bit over the price range I think the OP is looking at. Beyerdynamic are a fantastic brand though.

I got Razer Megalodons, I think they are great and have had them for a while now. I've heardthe Siberias are fairly decent though.

Gotta agree this is a great headset, and the mic is nice quality too. Kinda expensive though (~$170)
