Good Gaming Headsets?

[The Birdman 472]

I am getting a new laptop for gaming and was wondering if anyone knew of any particular good gaming headsets for PCs that are somewhat around the $50 range, more or less, and preferably on Newegg, TigerDirect, BestBuy or other reputable stores.

Do you need a mic?

If not, these should be plenty and not use up all the budget -

If you prefer a bit more bass kick -

The HD 202's.

I personally love my pair of HD 202's, and game with them all the time. The bass is really nice when playing games, especially when an explosion hits and it doesnt distort at all, just makes your ears shake

Newegg doesn't seem to carry the hd 202's anymore which is odd, but amazon has them for the same price as the 201's so I'd personally opt for them as they usually cost more.

I was lucky and get them w/ free shipping for 15 bucks from newegg, but that was a few monthes back.

Either way, I highly recommend the 202's. Extremely comfortable, and the sound quality is comparable to many $50 and up headphones, if not surpassing some of them in the 50 dollar range easily.

Sorry I did not mention it earlier, but I will need a mic. I will mostly be using them to communicate with my friends while playing Minecraft by using a software like Mumble.

Are there at least any brands that are good for gaming headsets with microphones?

PLANTRONICS GameCom 377 are good. I've had them for maybe 2 years. The sound is really good even though the construction is all plastic.

Newegg.com - Tt eSPORTS SHOCK Foldable Gaming Headset Dimaond Black HT-SHK002ECBL
or
Newegg.com - ARCTIC COOLING AC-P531 USB Connector Circumaural 5.1 Headset for Professional Gamers

Those are close to your price range and are decent for the price.

Thanks for the suggestions.
