What headphones do you use for CS?

I buried my headphones over the weekend after player a lot of cs. Before I go out and buy a new set I'm curious what headphones players on the OSG server use and would recommend.
Preferably ones that have a microphone since I lost the ability to use voice chat.

Depends on what you want to spend. I recently changed to using my webcam microphone for my microphone and a wireless headset for listening. Almost always my mic would break on my headphones but the speakers would be fine.

Here are mine [url="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-wxawFad3NOI/p_158MDRF925/Sony-MDR-RF925RK.html"]http://www.crutchfield.com/S-wxawFad3NOI/p_158MDRF925/Sony-MDR-RF925RK.html[/url]

Since you would like to have a speaker/microphone combo I would go with one of these.

currently i am using these : [url="http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/tactic3d/sigma/"]http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/tactic3d/sigma/[/url]

won em from a esea.net contest a while back, but for the 70-80$ retail i would def. recommend them

the flat cable makes it easy to route around the desk, doesn't tangle, and the removable microphone is convenient, not to mention comfy, and great sound

I like these headphones. Good reviews and great sound... Doesn't have a mic. I actually had some really nice mics in the past but they all somehow broke\stopped working... So I just reverted back to using my microphone that is LITERALLY from the mid to late 90's. It's SO old. It was made before they invented USB. Literally. lol.

But I have sat on it, bent it, spilled stuff over it, etc etc etc... They just don't make them like they used too.

I have planetronics gamecom headset, It's good but it's starting to fall apart a bit. Logitech makes shitty headsets, there is a reason you got a good deal on. Having a higher end headset can make a huge difference in your gaming ability. I can hear footsteps from very far away and I can tell which direction they are coming from.

I use these headphones: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips---O%27Neill-Stretch-Headband-Headphones---Black/2051238.p?id=1218307633908&skuId=2051238

I have one of those sick ASUS Republic of Gamers laptops so my microphone is intergrated in the monitor. I can slip on the Phillips headphones and talk quietly in a near silent library and am received quite well.

Bose sells a set of really awesome headphones that are just about $150. That's not much more expensive than the leading Turtle Beach brand. http://www.amazon.com/Bose-47684-Bose%C2%AEAE2-audio-headphones/dp/B00478O0JI

These are great headphones that I've used. However if you're looking for headphone/microphone combo I've never been disappointed with Turtle Beach products.

I use these for my pc. They're reliable, and sound pretty good. For xbox I have more expensive turtle beach headsets.

I use a pair called Sound Blaster Wraths. They are awesome, I remember when I first got them I could feel the bass in my chest. They are wireless and do have some great distance. The battery life on them is great as well, I would highly recommend them.

I still have the headphone part of some Sennheiser PC151s I used for years. The tip of the mic got snapped off a few years back. I used some logitechs and cheapo this-and-thats for a while. Right now I'm just blaring everything on speakers and using the built-in webcam mic on my laptop. Sennheiser's are the bomb diggity though, get some!

Doesn't have a mic with it so a cheap zalman clip on mic on the cord is how I get the job done. Both have lasted a loooong time.

[sup][size=4]If you can afford it use the Razer Megalodon Headset. It gets the job done for me. I still haven't opened the the Alienware headset they sent me with my pc. Maybe i should switch them out and save the Razer lol.[/size][/sup]

Great combo for the price and the headphones are great for music too.

I don't like USB headphones...

If you're willing to spend a little more money:
