Good headset recommendation?

    I'm looking to buy a headset (headphones with mic) to use for internet telephony on the likes of Skype etc. I bought a pair of Sennheiser PC 31's and the mic is awful. Having tried it on two different computers with different pieces of software and trying all sorts to configure it, it will barely pick up any sound.

    So I'm thinking about getting a new headset.

    Anyone got any recommendations? It doesn't have to be something that's great for listening to music with also, but I wouldn't mind if it was.

    If possible, it would be good to get suggestions on headsets you are currently using yourself that you would recommend.

    Thanks!

    I've used many different headsets but by far I've found Logitech to be the best for Skype & really good for music too.

    I use the Logitech ClearChat Pro which cost me €30 or so (on offer) but they have changed their name to Logiteck USB Headset H530 now. Improved maybe?
