I am looking for something similar to this under about $100 for XBOX and PC and maybe iPhone



Get a Dynex: http://www.bonanza.com/listings/Dynex-Universal-Stereo-Headset-for-Cell-Phone-Computer-Laptop-Skype-iPhone-4S-5/98147651?gpid=41279011981&gpkwd=&goog_pla=1&gclid=CPSZiJXkzbQCFQVgMgodwTQA9w

They're relatively comfortable, cheap, and pretty good quality sound.

Can you hear anything?





I know that it's not a headset but I use this desktop microphone along with some cheap Sony headphones. I got it for $10 from logitech.com a few years ago so I'm sure you can find a cheaper price than the one listed on Amazon if you really want it. For the price the quality is quite amazing and I'm thoroughly impressed.

This is what I use

This was my previous headset, they are very cheap and they worked well for a few months. Good quality aswell.

Well people are at it I'd like a giant 1000ft statue of myself with a giant golden rooster filled with platinum!

Oh and I need it made for $20!

Now on a more serous note: Are you one of those people who think beats are high quality? If yes be happy with your complete ignorance and buy something from your local Walmart, it should last for like 6 months.

If no you're forgeted, or you can buy a headphones and a microphone SEPARATELY and get two high quality working products for like $150.

Oh and you can look into Steelseries stuff that stuff looks nice but I have no idea if it's any good.

i don't think you understand
i just want it to have a mic, the rest of the requirements are simply there so i know i'm not spending $40 on $10 quality. i'm no audiophile, i just want headphones. jeezus.

If no you're forgeted, or you can buy a headphones and a microphone SEPARATELY and get two high quality working products for like $150. once again i'm not an audiophile and i don't need a sooper 1337 hd mic, just something I can skype with and use as headphones. :I

SteelSeries is good, I have the 4H ($39.99). The 3H is cheaper but I hear it's uncomfortable since it's a folding headset, and someone mentioned that you shouldn't buy a SteelSeries if you have a larger head.


Headsets come cheap as hell unless you put like $80+ into them.

Save smores and buy a nice set later rather then throwing your money at something cheap that will break in no time.
