I'd like to get a gaming headset for very cheap that are good quality and comfortable (can be worn for up-to 8 hours at a time).

 

What do you guys suggest?

it seems to have a lot of good reviews

SpeedLink Medusa NX maybe?

Or add some extra pounds and get a Creative Fatal1ty headset.

Specs will tell you nothing about the build or sound quality.

 

You are not going to get anything worth owning for so little money; you need to either pony up more cash now or wait and save until you can.

In your budget nothing will be stand out, so pick the one you like on paper.

Always a solid plan, the more you put in the more you get out.
