Looking for a good set of combo headphones/microphone

[CujoRbd]

I've been looking around for a good set of combo headphones/microphone for a while here now, but can't seem to find any that are at all good.

I found this one, and I like it, but it's not quite what I'm looking for:

If anyone knows of any that are good and not too terrible expensive, please let me know, as I would be most appreciative.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

Cujo,

And, ya, but I have here a KOSS Mega-Boom Mic/headphone combo, got it at Radio Shack (r) for about $19.

Thanks, mike. That one is only mono, and I want stereo, but I like it and I'll look into it a bit more.

Thanks!

If anyone else knows of any, please let me know. Thanks.

Koss and Plantronics are the best in the biz for that. Koss is known for headphones while Plantronics is known for headsets (w/microphones).

You might try both their sites to see what they offer, but then you'll need to find places in your area that carry them so you can try them first. Staples here carries Plantronics, Office Depot may, haven't checked.

The cheaper Koss headphones are showing up in lots of stores, but I haven't found the microphone version in any store yet.

Sorry I don't have a better answer, but you need to find what feels best to you in person!

If you check stereo stores and find you like Koss, you could go back to their website and check on the same model with a microphone, or take that info with you. I doubt there's an easy way to judge Plantronics sound for music, but I think they do make stereo versions.

Thanks, Ygor! I like those Plantronics ones quite a bit! Their site is a bit confusing to navigate, but I'll check them out at Staples later on today and see if there are any that I like.

Thanks again, both of you.

And if anyone else has any suggestions, please let me know! Thanks!

It's going OK.... still haven't found one, though. The one that I'm currently looking at as the main possibility is the one I have a picture posted of above.

It's a pretty nice one, but I'm not so sure about the microphone on it, as there's little info on the site. The headphones part of it is nice according to the info at the site, as well as appears nice.

However, I'd love any suggestions that anyone can give me! Thanks!

And BTW, I didn't have time today to go to RadioShack (or anywhere else, for that matter), but I might tomorrow if I get a chance, so let me know if I should look for a specific model or brand there.

Thanks again.
