    Good Headsets?

    I have this Logitech headset ,but I think the mic is dead but the ear speakers still work.I was thinking about buying another headset ,just wondering if anyone could recommend some good ones that they use that are under $50?What are the better brands?And are headsets with the jack plugs better than the USB ones?Thanks

    Are those the $20 or less earphongs with the round speaker? Yea they suck after a short time. I got a pair of Plentronics, very comfy for about $30 at the store.

      I have a Sennheiser set which were expensive but i do find it quite comfortable and although its me second set they do take a lot of abuse before they give up the ghost.
      Only thing that truely frustrates me with headsets and the thing that usually leaads them to an early grave is the cable. The set i have has a lovely thick cable down to the inline volume box and then a pathetic length of string from there to the computer.

                        What are the advantages for having a headset with the audio jacks?

                          Hardware rendered sound = greater performance.
