    I have found the Sennheiser PC range excellent for gaming and I guess they will be more that adequate for Skype. They work fine for Teamspeak etc and are next to indestructable (important for me). I have used others particularly Plantronics and they just dont last. The Senn's are not cheap though.

    Don't be tied to the PC, this is more expensive than a headset but looks far better:

    The speed-link medusa is very good... 5.1 surround but there is a fairly high chance of getting a broken one to start with. If you have a working one though they are fantastic.

    If its not too late I'd deffinatly go with the medusa. I've just tried a pair and WOW... The plantronics are being put aside.

    If you want a second hand set of plantronics then you know who to contact.

    Medusa OWN the headphone market.....

    if they'd always work they'd be world domination in a box.

    Bloody superb for all gaming. Superb. And I've worn them for 6 hours straight with no effort.
