As you know, my headset went toilet shaped this month and as its payday tomorrow I wanted your input as to what to get. Any glowing recomendations? I'm a bit of a Logitec fanboy so I was thinking of this but I'm not sure, what do we think?

I've got a pair of Speedlink Medusa 5.1 headphones, really like them and 5.1 is very handy. They came wrapped in a ribbon too with a proper case to hold everything.

Not too happy with logitech, i had a pretty expensive USB headset similar to the one linked in the OP, i found it a little uncomfortable after a few hours use (pads are firm and press onto the ears quite hard. The cable was also pretty thin and flimsy between the headset and volume box , it only works intermittently now.

PC Gamer reviewed headphones this month, they recommended the budget Sennheiser PC151 at £35 or the USB  Maxell MXL-1191 at £79

Like Zarf, I had some logitechs and found them a bit painful - was glad when they too went screwy. Using a pair of those Sennheisers and they're great.

I got Sennheiser PC160 and I'm really satisfied. You can play for hours with those. Also had a quite acceptable price iirc.

On thing you should ask yourself: do you a headset which "encloses" your ears and silences everything outside? I had one such before my current headset and it was terrible for my environment. Since I didn't hear my own voice, I started screaming without noticing, so the entire house could here me Cheesy

Cruel - just mix the microphone back into the headphones, then you can have enclosed ears but hear yourself properly.
