Best Headset for <$50?

My current headset just went FUBAR, the cup snapped free from the headband(?) and there is no way to fix it and have it still be functional.

 

If I actually had access to more money, I would definitely buy something that would last me longer.

 

I just need a headset with decent sound and a built in microphone for $55 maximum.

 

 

Thanks,

2mnbars

 

 

EDIT: Ordered an HD 201 and Zalman Headphone Mic.

Total cost. $35

Hmm, I have always wanted Sennheisers...

I will do more research, but this seems very reasonable.

There's a good deal on eBay for HD 439's, but that doesn't leave you much money for a mic if your budget is super strict.

This might be what I do, and it leaves me money to buy a christmas present or two for family.

 

 

EDIT: Ordered. Thank you all for your suggestions.
