So, earlier I thought that I should upgrade my crappy mac earphones and get a headset. I'm probably going to want something with a USB plug and surround sound.
I have abut $100 to spend, and I'm thinking of buying a Razer or maybe a Turtle Beach. What do you guys use/recommend?

Thanks for all of the help, but I think I'll go with the MDR-V6.

Nice choice, be sure to tell me how you like them.

I have a Turtle Beach X32 for my Xbox 360, great for playing with friends to hear them and the game, or just hear the game with great quality audio. Honestly I love my headset.

I use SteelSeries Siberia V2.
Siberia V2 $89.99 [$109.99 for USB]
Razer Kraken 7.1 chroma $99.99
Don't bother with usb if it cost lot more than a 3.5mm. You can get 3.5mm to usb adapters for a few $.

Never buy a gaming headset. The sound quality, build quality, and Mic quality is always sub par. I always recommend to get a great pair of headphones which will do everything better and a separate microphone like the Zalman ZM-Mic 1. Use the guide previously posted for more information.

GO RAZER! If you've got the money.

I use a Razer Kraken Pro. I really like it and it had no problems with it so far! Thing is this verson has no USB but their is another version for USB.

I'm thinking of getting a Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma.

I have this set and I really enjoy them.

As far as my knowledge goes, Razers are better than Turtle Beaches.

My brother uses a turtle beach, and he loves it. It has amazing sound quality and a microphone that you can mute/unmute with a small controller attached to the cord. I think you should defiantly get a headset. I use apple ear buds, and while the sound quality is okay for ear buds, (and it has a microphone) i'm going to upgrade soon too.
I hope you find an awesome headset!

Sounds good! Which Turtle Beach headset is he using?
