75$ bargain: https://www.google.com/search?q=speedlink+medusa+nx+5.1&oq=speedlink+medusa+nx+5.1&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.10077j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

 

I have one and compared to the logitech g430 I have in another PC this baby hauls-ass for less money. Highly recommended. Only downside is that you have 3x3.5mm audio jacks to plug in and a usb to power it. Folds nicely, comes with a bag, loud as hell, clear sound, straight forward to use with hardware controls, no software gimmicks to get in the way.

 

(500th post, YAY! :confetti flies all over the place:)

 

EDIT: And don't buy Siberia V2, that overpriced piece of marketing. Don't get me wrong I love steelseries, but Siberia is overpriced for what it is.

Headsets are designed very cheaply, so no, it probably won't last. Buy a dedicated pair of headphones and mic if you want durability.

for my location I can buy HD518's and a cheap mic for only $10 more than the PC320

The pc350SE is based off the HD518, just the pc is closed and the hd is open, but I always prefer open.

Will work for electronic components and parts

It has known cracking issues, so wait for the 2500 2100 if you're leaning towards that product. I'd recommend separate headphones + mic, t0wer has made a good recommendation.

the 1500 is not really known for that many problems its the corsair 2000 with all the problems hopefully the corsair 2100 refresh will solve it... maybe.

HD 558 and a mic. Works well for positional gaming as well as music

Across the vast and majestic gulf of time and space, the jimmies rustle softly.
