I have two headsets - I think both Logitech, but different models. One at work, one at home.

The sound quality is good. They work well. The microphone gives decent quality in the voice chat software that I've used (Skype, Google Talk, MSN, etc).

But after an hour of wearing these things, it's like someone has taken some industrial-style clothesline pegs, wound them extra tight, and attached them to my ears. They're uncomfortable as all f*** and I can't deal with it any more - I just need to replace one set of them so when I come from work (after wearing them most of the day) and get home where I often have them on until I go to bed, I don't feel like my head is going to implode.

I've had a quick look around JBs etc but they don't seem to have headsets, just headphones? Should I just give up and get a decent set of headphones an an external mike? (I have enough cords already though)

I could've sworn I saw a few headsets at JB Hi-fi Chermside last time I was there, think they were Logitech and Sennheiser brands. It was near all the boring home office software.

I know sennheiser make some headsets, never personally used them, and don't know if any other good headphone company do. but its a start

Might be worth checking out Mac1 on James St, they have a massive Sennheiser rack I spied with heaps of headsets like that look pretty sex

A rack of boxed products? or a rack as in, you can try them on?

Work issued me with these head phones I found them Highly comfortabe. Just get a bit hot round your ears if you listen to lound music all day :)

AKG K66

Sadly they don't do headsets, but if you cant manage to find comfy headsets then they could be an option

I've had 2 sets of logitechs and was not impressed by either of them.

At the moment I'm using some Plantronics .350's and the are brilliant. Nice an comfortable on the ears and also has an adjustable/flexible microphone.

The have the .370's now which have a bigger driver in them.

The .350's are about $30 and the .370 are around $60 from memory.

If you do, stop by for a coffee!

I don't drink coffee - pretty rude to ask me around for something I'm not going to drink, imho

I recently got one of these for work which I use as a softphone

M214i 3-in-1 VoIP Headset

It's totally awesome, light, perfect quality etc.. People often comment how good my voice sounds and skype/vent/etc

$60 from umart, worth the dollars, comes with my 2 thumbs up seal of approval

They have other headsets, depending on your needs, plantronics are the cheese imo

Best prices here

Before you buy anything, try one of the pairs of Sennheisers at work that came with the dell monitors. I've been using them for a few weeks and they've been fine. Not the most awesome quality for music etc but comfortable enough to wear most of the day.

heard good things about beyer 234's

Slong as it isn't one of these POS headsets, 4 thumbs down (if I had 4 hands):

Crap headset

Audio tenchica ADH700's.

on Headphones.au their $240.

On ebay, I picked mine up $180 inc express shipping.

Awesome comfortable cans which sound as good as they are in comfy terms

get a headset that has big cups and doesn't sit on your ears.

If you do, stop by for a coffee!

Why where you @?

How did people mis-read this and turn it into a "headphones" thread ><

I don't drink coffee - pretty rude to ask me around for something I'm not going to drink, imho

I'm sure I could arrange a teabag then...

Hi Trog, I used to get that feeling after only a short while with my old headphones as well. The ones I have now have fixed the problem. They are Altec Lansing ( link )

Office works have them out of the box so you can try them on (down on Milton road)
I think they cost me something like 50bux. Very happy with them.

sennheiser pc 150 ftw

So, what headphones did you end up with Trog?

haha stinky
