You don't need a $50 headset. When anyone ever asks for a inexpensive headset with great sound quality for the price,... I always say Plantronics can't be beat.
I know it isn't in the style you are looking for or USB, but the Plantronics GAMECOM1 for $19.99 can't be beat. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826106069 The .Audio 350 is a couple bucks cheaper but a very worthy alternative. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826265009 Speaking of cheaper alternatives for gamers. I also have to give a shout to a fairly young company on the market named Wolfking. They make gaming pads, keyboards and mice. But anyway, I purchased a WolfKing Trooper mouse about a month ago and love every minute of it. 2200 dpi, laser, on the fly sensitivity adjustment, button selector for 2-3-4 round bursts, in the mold of the g-series mice, and more for right around $25. I recommend it to any FPS gamer. Definately beats the $50 and up for everyother gaming mouse. |

NP. Why the preference for a earbud? Personally, I can't stand them. I like to cover my ear completely. Anything sticking in my ear drives me insane. FWIW if you notice with Buy.com if you sign up for google checkout account you get a extra 10 off. |

I agree. I'd go for over-ear headphones, personally. I got mine for maybe $30 at Radio Shack a few years ago. I don't do any internet gaming anymore now that I've moved to dialup territory, but it worked fine for Unreal Tournament w/ Teamspeak when I used them.

I've had the older verson of the Gamecon1 in the past. It is surprisingly good, and for $20, it really can't be beat. Great sound and great mike. |

I don't know anything about headsets, but just saw this on buy.com deals.
Had a good review. http://www.buy.com/prod/creative-fat...204035006.html |
