Hello all,

I am currently looking for a new headset to use with my computer and looking for some input.
Main use will be to play Diablo 3 and use Steam to communicate with my friends on the game.

I would like to stay around $80, $50 would be better.
would like oversize, comfortable over the ear.
USB connectivity wired or wireless (would prefer wireless but not necessary)
able to control in game volume and chat volume (would be nice but not necessary)

Not sure if it really matters but I do not have a sound card, just using on board sound from motherboard. Hence I would prefer USB don't want bunch of wires running to the back of my computer. On that note if I would have to go the route with a speaker wire and a mic wire what do people think of USB sound cards?

Now back to the headset. I was looking a bit and not sure where to go. I was kind of looking at the Sony Headsets (Pulse, gold) think there is one more but cant think of it. any thoughts on these? I did see some on (ebay, new-egg, and amazon for descent prices around $60-$80.
Alternatively I can get the Gold headset with a point program but would like to avoid using my points on a headset.

This will pretty much be the only use is playing diablo 3 and talking on steam and maybe a few other games or youtube. I am not a huge audio person so don't need the best of the best.

Any suggestions on what I should do or get would be appreciated.

Thanks
