Hey Chubbsians, I need some help picking out a new (pricy and worth it) headset. I just broke my current by somehow applying pressure to the left ear buffer while I was away from my chair (no clue how). This is my current:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/gamecom-367
It's still working as the wires weren't cut but it will eventually as my current solution is simply to use my ears as a sort of hanging stand for the ear buffer to stay connected. My past headsets were basically all Steelseries Siberia headsets and I somehow managed to make the left ear disconnect from within, so the sound would become extremely unstable to not work at all.
I'm looking for input about good quality headsets with a bit of sturdiness to them. My max budget is around 100 euro (130ish USD) as I got some money for christmas and a headset I'm returning for cash. I've been looking at a c ouple of Sennheiser because a friend got it for Christmas and is reporting good things about it, but seeing as I can't buy any headset just yet I want some more input.
Gief input please?

I got a turtle beach headset for Christmas. This thing is built like a fucking tank and I love it.

I actually use one of the more recent Plantronics Gamecon headsets-

The surround sound can be switched off, and if you're using it as USB it'll act as a different sound device to your soundcard (or onboard sound device) if you want so you can redirect certain audio streams to it (I have all voice coms into the headeset only, and everything else out my speakers).

I'm using the Logitech G35s, which feel extremely comfortable to wear and sound great. That said, I've just recently encountered my first problem after owning them for a bit (which my roommate hasn't had happen to his yet despite owning for longer than me), which is the mic no longer wanting to stay in its upright muted position... It just drops back down as if something is loose in the joint. I've got to figure that part out.

Turtle Beach is awesome.

Logitech is my favorite reasonably priced brand for any sort of accessory. Very decent quality for the money. That being said, it is not unheard of to have quirky things like that happen.

I've used Logitech up until I've got my Turtle Beach. Only complaint I have with the ones I used is that they wore out faster than expected. But now I have a tank sitting on my head.

Beats by Dr. Dre are awesome. Kinda pricy but great quality.
Does honesty earn respect or inspire revenge? Is it smarter to attack the strong or annihilate the weak?

That's what I use. It is insanely comfortable, I can keep it on for hours at a time without having any issues (other headsets I've owned used to give me headaches if I kept them on too long.) Despite MY sound that you guys hear in mumble, the sound from it is great. (My static is caused by the input plugs on my comp or sound card.)
