Not sure what decent headsets with mics run for these days, but I bought mine used for like $30 and it's lasted me 3 years. Hoping to get a good replacement for around the same price --- If her hips don't break, you didn't "carry" hard enough" -SpunkySix <cite>fire_bolt posted [p:877563190] in PC guys: C...
