Affordable Headset w/ quality mic?

[infntnub]

Does such a thing exist?

I've bought some in the past, mainly from Steelseries, and have had issues with the microphone.

I settled for a separated headphone and boom mic setup which I don't like since I need to yell for my voice to be picked up on the mic...

Anyone visiting the board have a suggestion under $60? Or at that price target should I just stick w/ what I have?

hello, i don't know if you can find it, as it is sold in few shops here, but in france the cheapest brand you'll find is called "spirit of gamer", and their prices start very very low (starting from 10 euros the mouse, 10 euros the headset, up to normal prices for wireless stuff).
it's of course not the best quality you'll find, but if you're looking for a budget headset that works, they're fine.

been using a mouse and headset from this brand for a while, for the low price it's working very nice.

Those sennnheisers look nice! Figuires, I look for hours and hours and find crap, then 6 months later I happen upon a random post with the perfect set of headphones for my price range.

I've heard good things of this one from Kingston:

Two of my friends bought the Turtle Beach X12, it is cheap and great microphone quality, with big 'ears'. http://www.turtlebeach.com/product-detail/xbox-360-headsets/ear-force-x12/56
