Hi guys,

My coworker would like a decent headset for $40 or less with a microphone for skype calls.

What is the best $/quality ratio headset in that price bracket ($0-$40)?

Thanks,
Vitalius

Thanks, but I'm talking US $40. Those are $45 without shipping or taxes.

I have a pair of these, the mic quality is excellent, and the sound is not that bad either, also very comfortable.

 

Could also go for the Creative HS800 Fatality.

Creative Draco HS-850, using one myself and they're absolutely beast for the price. Bought it at SGD40 (~USD32) when it was on sale at an IT fair, but since Creative is a local company of Singapore i'm not sure if shipping would kill it for you.

Awesome headset, however they are about $50-$80 depending where you look. 

 

So $40 after taxes and shipping?

Yes, preferably. Cheaper is better.
