Cheap Gaming headset advice?

Eoghan S

Hey guys,
Just wondering if you could post a few cheap but reliable gaming headsets below.
I'm ordering my build from hardwareversand soon, and want a cheap headset for circa €30, but haven't a clue which to buy!
I'm currently looking at
http://www.hardwareversand.de/Wired/57399/Plantronics+Headset+GameCom+380.article
And http://www.hardwareversand.de/Wired/89431/OZONE+RAGE+ST+Gaming+Headset+-+wei%C3%9F.article

The headset must have a good enough quality mic, as I will be playing online games such as minecraft, CoD, and Battlefield.
I like flashy headsets, hence my preference for the Ozone Rage, especially white headsets!
If it could be converted to use on an Xbox, that'd be great too
(I may pay slightly more for better quality pieces)
Thanks guys

Ive been using these for about a year now and cant fault them.

These are the only set of proper headphones Ive owned so I cant compare with others.

A few of us around here, myself included, have these, which is the bigger brother of the first one you linked. I have to say I find it to be a fantastic headset, great quality for the money.

Surprisingly, seeing as I actually worked as a sound technician for a while, I'm not all that fussy when it comes to my own preferences for audio. The plantronics do well by themselves for the price though, and the mic is good quality too.

Not hugely helpful seeing as it's actually a different headset, but they definitely seem to be a good quality brand, and if you could stretch the extra €20 to the 780s I would recommend it.

I briefly had that creative headset; it drove me mental. I find the proper cans much more comfortable, audio quality wasn't anything to write home about(then again it usually isn't with combo headsets).

Don't look too bad alright, thanks for that mate, however I think I'll just go with my first suggestion, as it seems a bit more sturdy

Surprisingly, I was looking into them for a while, but decided that spending 50eur is too much out of my already over-stretched budget, as well as the way that it seems to be out of stock for a while!
Plantronics do seem to make quite good quality headsets, my only problem being the lack of creativity :P
I think I'll go with my first suggestion regardless, thanks for your help
