So I borrowed my husband's headset today, I get in vent and I hear "Pyckels is that you?!" "Wow, I had to alt tab to see who's talking!" "ou sound like a girl!" "For years I thought you were some robotic thing!" "you actually have a melodious voice!"


Yeah ok....my mic sucks. Now why on earth didn't the people I know irl tell me I sounded awful?


So now I need to go a new headset rather than inflict my ear bleeding voice on my raid group.


Small

Good quality

Comfortable

Over the head NOT behind the head, over the ear


I'm looking at logitech ones atm since I've always been pleased with my logitech gear. I've been using kid's size sony headphones and they're perfect fit wise. Do they make kid's head sets? Anyone have any reccommendations? Pros and cons of wireless ones?

I love my Sennheiser PC350. It does *not* meet your small size requirement, yet it's very comfortable, the mic is sensitive and very good quality. On top of that it's a good general purpose headphone set as well.

I've heard of them three times now, Deionnara, so I ordered a pair, as I'm in the market. Of course, I triple checked that 30-day return policy first, haha!

I toasted my old headset by leaving it on my head and pulling on the cord ripping it apart (oops).

I bought this back in August 2009 for $99:

Sennheiser PC 166 USB Stereo Multimedia Gaming Headset

These are pretty comfortable for long gaming sessions. Looks to be replaced by the PC 161.

Oh I didn't necessarily mean you mentioned them thrice.

I use my Xbox 360 headset plugged into my 360 wired controller. They act just like a USB headset. I haven't had any issues with them during the course of the years.

Sennheiser rock. I don't have the gaming ones, but I use the music ones with a mic stuck under my screen.
