I had this headset. It's super comfy, has great sound, plenty of bass, good mic, but it's all plastic and it's broken in two places after three years of use. I'm in the market for a new headset, something a little more robust. Here's what I'm looking for:

Price <$80
Comfortable, durable, over-ear.
Excellent sound quality, good bass a plus.
Needs a long cord, at least six feet.
Needs a good mic.
Inline volume control would be awesome, but it's not a necessity.
3.5mm jack, not USB.

Any recommendations? I was eying the Icemat Siberia headset but I think they've been discontinued.

Edit: Here's one I was looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6826158081

Not discontinued, just under a different company name.

I have them in red, they're pretty much perfect for gaming and the mic is better than nearly anything else on the market, including more expensive stuff, it is a clip on mic though, I've got mine attached to some crap on my desk.

EDIT: Actually looking at it, they've attached the mic to the headset on the V2s so ignore what I said about the separate mic

Ordered this one 2 days ago, it'll arrive tomorrow.
Seems like a great one to me.

e: Actually, ignore that. Simply scrolling down is a better method.

over the ear, long cord, inline controls, comfy, very good mic.
bass is ok, but supposedly a lot better if you buy the leather replacement cups.

Bought this and took it back, thought the cups were uncomfortable. But then again I might have big ears. You know what they say about guys with big ears.
