I currently have a pair of Turtle Beach X12's. They were a pretty decent headset, but the bass is starting to die on them, and I've only had them for a few months. I think it's time to try something new. Their performance was decent. There was little background noise, but the mic quality isn't the best. The actual headphone part was actually pretty good in my opinion. I thought long and hard whether or not I want to get a headset, or headphones and a mic separate. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with a headset for now, and then by a separate mic later for better recording. I'm just going to give some more information about what I'm looking for so you guys can better help me.
What I liked about the X12's
Long cord. I like to be able to lay in bed while talking on skype.
As long as the room was quite, the mic didn't have any buzzing noise or fuzz.
The bass boost was a nice feature.
The headset is pretty comfortable, even for a big head wearing glasses.
What I didn't like about the X12's
They only lasted around 6 months.
They picked up sound from outside.
Mic quality wasn't the best.
I'm looking for something with great headphones, and a decent mic. The mic doesn't really matter a whole lot since I'll pretty much only use it for skype. Something with the same, or better quality than the Turtle Beach's would work for the headphones. I could also use something durable with a long chord. I've fallen asleep with my Turtle Beaches many times without any problems. Finally, my budget is around 70 - 80 dollars.
