    Hey guys, so I'm in the market for a new headset (earphone + microphone) for skype, gaming, etc.

    I was wondering if there's a good, cheap (~$60-100?) headset that's:

    - wireless
    - small receiver (maybe USB? don't want one that needs external power source)
    - good enough for skype calls (if it's good enough for music too, then awesome)

    I think logitech has smaller wireless headsets that would fit in your budget. However, the over the ears gaming ones I know of are more in the 150-200$ range. Yup, wireless is more expensive. All wireless headsets I know of use a regular size USB receiver (about the size of a flash drive).
