Plantroncis 780 PC Gaming Headset. 7.1 Surround Sound Monster, just over the price limit, but I personally believe is the best contender in this segment of the market.
-Excellent clear speakers
-Very clear mic, I use it to do commentaries
-7.1 surround souind. OK, it works and you can tell the difference, but the audio without it is still crisp and clear.

Yeah I saw that on Amazon, but the reviews scared me away :/ what is your personal experience with it?
Pros:
-To me it's very comfortable, the clamping force is not to high, but it fits nice and snug, not to tight.
-The audio is superb, ,and at this price range feels and sounds better than my friends Triton's IMO.
-Mic quality is fantastic, I plan on using it to record my commentaries. Commenting videos is important to me and I would not normally not choose a headset to do so, but this one fits the bill nicely.
-No messy cords for audio or mic, all done via one simple USB connection.
-Works well right out of the box, install 7.1 Surround Drivers via disk, or online.
Cons:
-The cord is 6ft, I don't know what is the acceptable standard, but this may or not be the right length for some. For me it more than enough since sit right next to my computer.
-Also about the cord, it is not braided, and again to some this comes is an inconvenience. I will say that the cord does become slightly twisted, but not anywhere near enough to be annoying.
-About the USB, some people don't want to connect this type of hardware via USB, and no the plug is not gold plated, for some reason people really want gold plating.
Overall, I owne this headset, love it and will be keeping it until it dies, which for me is atypical.
Audio is fantastic on both ends, crisp and clear.
Bought it at Walmart since it was the lowest price(they really vary) and arrived the next day. I hope this helps, many people will recommend stuff that they read or heard was good, but this review comes from experience.
Either way, whatever you choose, just enjoy it!!
