Hey guys, I've been playing with the idea of creating some web content focused around games & commentary, and for the last few days I've been searching for a good headset oriented towards that. What I'm most interested in is a headset with a stellar mic and a decent to good comfort level when wore for long periods - the actual audio quality coming from the headphones is not as important for me (sure, it should be at least decent, if not good).

I've seen people recommending the Steelseries PC 360, then people bashing its mic and general performance as opposed to its price tag, then people saying that Steelseries Siberia V2 / 7H are fairly comfy and have good mics - I'm pretty much clueless. Can you guys help me out please?
I've also read some reviews for the Corsair Vengeance 2100 saying that the mic is really good.

As a price reference, I wouldn't want to pay more that the equivalent of a PC 360, which is already quite expensive for my budget.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!

PS. Some of the common brands I can buy from somewhere around me are sennheisers, steelseries, razer, turtle beach, logitechs, corsairs, creative, plantronics etc. I don't have access to a place that sells denons, klipsch, bose or akgs for example (i named these brands as they felt more high-end for me), so it would greatly help me if you would avoid recommending me those :)

I've tried searching for some mic tests for this model and the sound coming from it seems like it has a bit of a background hiss. Can you confirm or infirm this? Do you own this model? Thanks!
