Headset with one audio cable, or usb headset.

Looking for a quality cheapish headset for basic use like skype. Only something that sounds clear and is around 30 euro. For a laptop with only one audio port, so the usual 2 cables doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by audio port; is it a headphone port or microphone port? I've never seen laptops with only one output. If it does have only one output it could be TRRS compatible you could use a mobile headset.

TRRS looks like this:

There is a picture of headphones on it, when my gf looked it up it said it was called a 'combo port' which I imagine is the same as what is on smartphones, as in my earphones have a mic on them etc. So it would be TRRS there, or simply a usb headset would do. I'm looking myself but would like recommendations too!
