I got mine at walmart for about 30 bucks. It is a logitech headphone/mic deal. No bells and whistles, but comforatble enough and the price was right.

I just use the mic built into my webcam + a set of headphones. I'm doing it this way because i really like the headphones i have.

I know some people use the cheap desktop mics, which should work if you like your current headphones.

Yes, NewEgg always has a very good selection, reasonable prices and quick shipping. I also find their customer reviews very helpfull as well. There you can see specific feedback from gamers just like us on the pros and cons of any given item.

plantronics makes great headsets, i'm using mine to listen to some trivium right now (they have great bass)>

and they're pretty reasonable as well (mine cost like 20)

good luck in your search

I use the cheap desktop mic's, i bought both of em for 5 quid. Just cos i like my sennheiser 155 headset, there a bit on the pricey side tho.

GL with your search and i hope u can find a good combination.
