Headphones

Looking for some advice on a pair of headphones.

Not looking for audiophile quality; they will be used for gaming and a microphone is necessary.

I don't have extravagent amounts of cash to spend so I'm looking for bang for the buck. I would venture $60 is about my cap but I might be willing to go higher for something universally loved.

I will also be ordering online!

Also, I need to have them ordered by the end of this week. Thanks for the help!

Those seem to be well liked, minus the complaints about how they fit large heads. I guess I'd probably be in the large head category but who the fuck measures their head. =\

I have a set of these:

They have pretty good sound and work very well for VoIP. Mic has good pickup. I have to be careful of being too close to my desk fan with it or everyone complains about the wind noise.

I have the same set mentioned above. I have no complaints. The mute button on the cord makes it easy to use hands-free and not have to worry about sensitivity issues.

Several people where I work who do a lot of gaming and VoIP also have the Plantronics DSP500, so apparently it's pretty good. I'm a cheap bastard, though, so I have a crappy headset.
