This is often recommended as a good headset. There's a second version/revision out, but I haven't heard if it's good.

Might also watch this. :respect:

the fact that cable is detachable and dont compromise the great look of the unit is also priceless! i was looking forward them when got the ones i have, my old Tt shock got screwed then for the replacement on the local store i've bought'em, they didnt had replacement at the moment but offered me the Cloud I, i decided to give a try. so far the best sh*t i've use for gaming!

I'm not sure if you're dead set on a brand new pair or not but I think you could probably find a pair of Sennheiser PC 350's within your price range used. I would highly recommend them. The quality is absolutely outstanding and Sennheiser has never let me down. They're very comfortable, crystal clear, noise canceling. You can use them for pretty long periods of time without discomfort. And after doing a quick search, I'm seeing that you can definitely find these used in your price range. Let us know what you wind up deciding on!

These are 35$ over your budget, but they are simply phenomenal:

Modmic plus any headphone you like. The mid-end JVCs generally sound well, so do the Audio-technicas (although they have a bit of an odd tuning).

I have said this before headsets are stupid
they offer the worse sound quality per dollar of anything
