    Hey guys! since i broke my headset after a nerdrage! hahaha i am currently looking for a new budget headset for around 50 dollars which is around 35 pounds (since i will be buying em from the UK). overall i feel i dont need any extraordinary headset to have a good time throughout games and music, since there are many low cost headsets, that provide quality sound and bass and work good for gaming!

    i ve seen fatality headset, plantronics 377 and many other headsets around that price and many positive reviews. can anyone recommend me something really good that had experience with and was really satisfied with?

    I highly recommend the Plantronics GameCom 377. I've had one for about three years now and I couldn't be happier with it. It sounds like a much more expensive headphone, and mic quality is great. Solid build quality, and it's quite comfortable.

    Although I'd really recommend that you spend more on good audio quality, you could take a look something like the entry-level Sennheiser PC 31 / PC 36 at £14 and £26 respectively.

    Don't buy anything with a dude's name on it.

    KOSS SB-45.
    Amazon.com: Koss SB-45 Communication Stereophones: Electronics

    In my opinion the best budget headset on the market. I have owned the Gamecon 337 and it was a huge letdown. The build quality on them is cheap when they break (and they will), you are screwed. KOSS has a lifetime warranty on their products.
