    I saw other posts on headsets and a few people gave some suggestions, but it seemed like they didn't stay under the 40$ limit. So, I guess I will make my own post, anyone recommend a headset for under 40$ ? I went up to my brothers hour and tried on his Altec Lansing ahs302 headset, they don't fit my head, and are not adjustable. So.. need to take care of this. Mine right now are some older Logitech ones for 15$ from walmart, I don't care about sound, I use speakers anyway, so maybe getting a 2.1 system and a on table microphone will be the best way to go. This is the last step of buying my system, so looking for the help from different opinions

    Looking for suggestions on headsets / microphones / or 2.1 speakers.

    Edit: MUST BE 2.1 Speakers or under 40$ on Microphone / Headset!!

    Speakers + Microphone = annoying as hell, people will always be hearing themselves, or whatever is coming out of your speakers.

    My preference, headphones (cheap ones because I'm cheap, and have a knack for breaking them) and a tabletop mic (again, cheap from local office max).

    Ideally, I'd have a clip-on mic (clips onto headphone chord) and a good set of headphones. Might wanna look into it, the mic is usually not more than $10
