    Some cheapo headset I got from eBay. Works a treat for team speak.

    Razer Kraken Chroma 7.1 for my everyday gaming on PC/PS4 and Razer Kraken Pro for my phone/PS4 games. love them, sounds great especially with 7.1 boy you can hear everything on the game. the mics on these headsets are great, played a lot on Multiplayer games and team mates can hear me loud and clear. bit pricey but ill recommend this one.

    I am using a Plantronics Gamecom 788 headset.

    After years of using more expensive Turtle Beach headsets I got sick of constant complaints from my friends about the noise every time my mic was open (and not just the noise from my mouth). The Plantronics headset has performed flawlessly.

    I did break the headband on my first set and when I contacted them about a replacement headband they sent me a full brand new headset as a replacement, so, brilliant customer service too.

    Re: Features - QOTW: Which gaming headset do you use?

    Well my Superlux HD681-Evo arrived the other day, they are absolutely amazing so far, significant step up from the Sennheiser PC31 which is pretty much a call-center headset too. Did have to swap out the pleather ear pads that are on by default with the velvet ones that come bundled in the box as many reviews suggested, far better.

    Ofcourse they don't have a mic however so youd have to get a Zalman lapel mic or a desk mic if that bothers you, for me its a non issue at least currently. That said the Plantronics Gamecom 780/788 (and older versions too ofcourse) that keep being mentioned are very well reviewed too so while I can't speak from personal experience they seem to be a solid alternative if you want a Mic, only bad thing I read was that they are a little more fragile than most but their audio is supposed to be great out of the gaming headsets.

    In the end I opted for a pair of music headphones with the option to just buy a cheap mic later when I need one though and so far I don't regret it.
    Also for those of you looking at the surround sound gaming headphones, try out Razer Surround first, it's free and seems to work well, even on my PC31s. You don't get full access to the EQ with the free version but you do get the actual surround sound. You can save yourself some cash to spend on better sounding headphones if you ditch surround sound headphones and get solid headphones+Razer Surround.

    Sennheiser PC350 SE's - Lack Bass but the sound clarity is hard to beat, been toying with the idea of getting a ModMic and just a decent set of normal cans.

    I tried the Modmic with my AKG's & I didn't like it ! The Wire on the Modmic isn't very flexible & the extra wire annoyed me due to the thickness.

    Have you seen the V-moda mic ? You can use it with lower to mid range cans like the Philips X2 that fit into the headphones & make a single wired headset !

    Headset? Ew!! I use a FiiO E17 as DAC/Headphone Amp, feeding my Akg K551 cans, as microphone I use a Snowball iCE on a cheap chinese scissor arm, hanging from a shelf which is right above my monitor.

    Some serial headphones being listed, I like it.

    The side question from reading these comments is: Are you all using onboard Audio?
