Durable headset under $25?

Go to solution Solved by stconquest,

That was the other one I was looking at for her!

 

I'd like a few more opinions before buying, but if I don't get any..

I have these as well, have been using them for 2 years.  They still work, but I fear they will die one day really soon (due to abuse).

 

I just ordered another set here:  http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826265320&_ga=1.96414044.1700258580.1447977546

 

I watched 4-5 reviews on them and, for me, as long as the sound is clear (mic and headphones)... I am happy.

My sister needs a headset now.. ;)

 

She's gone through 3 of the $10 logitech headsets in the past 6 months so she decided to step up a little. But the budget is strict.

 

She doesn't abuse them at all really, besides the occasional pull on the cord. Reliability comes first. I can see her just going back to $10 headsets of she spends $25 and they last less than 6+ months. We're hoping for a year+.

 

Sound quality is of course considered, but 90% of the time she's listening to online classes or friends over the mic so you know. Although there is that 10% that she's gaming/watching movies/music.
 

Mic quality, same as sound. 10% of the time it's important, but even then the $10 logitech work fine.

 

I'm looking at the Logitech Clearchat H390s.

 

 

 

So what I'm looking for is the best sound quality I can get, with them still being extremely durable.

 

I'm in a pretty big rush as I need them by Christmas. It's going to have to be through amazon, with prime.

I have the creative fatality headset, and i've dropped them like 20 times so far, drove my chair over the cables countless times, and they still work perfectly! I recommend them for a rather cheap headset, with  a very good mic!
