I need a new head set, my current one is held together duct tape and I'm not too confidant in the quality.

What's a good brand? I'm looking to spend $20 at most.

Are there good wireless head sets? I'm capable of using Bluetooth with my computer, if that makes a difference.

Get ones that are big enough to not actually touch your ears. That way they wont hurt after a long time.

I have some plantronics ($30) that are great.

You wont get a decent wireless headset for $20.

Best headset for under $20 is a plantronics or logitech. I've never spent under $40 on a headset, just not recommended by my book.

You mean ones that are "circumaural"?
(I love fancy words)

I've got a pair of circumaural Fa1ality headphones w/ sound canceling mic.  Nice fit, good bass, directionality is good...

$50 though.

Still, if you want good, spend around $30 to $50.  Anything more, and you're looking at studio quality and up.  Which may be what you're after, I'm not really one to say against 'em, but more than $50-$70 is getting into audiophile-island.

Oh, and try to get something with actual audio plugs, rather than something USB.  Harder to break, a little less susceptible to line noise...  Plus, I like to think it sounds nicer.

Mine is the "deluxe" Head set at Wall-Mart. it was about $15 or so. It's a cyber acoustics. its not amazing but it worked well for in game and it has decent sound quality, better than the crap speakers that came with my PC.

I just got a pay check, so now I'm willing to go more then 20. Noise cancellation would be great, and I don't want to be using a canal phone for hours, what brand was the Fa1ality? Are there any that go behind the head rather then on top?
