Can you guys suggest a good headset for around $100? the mic on my steelseries stopped working.
 
I have 2 sets:

Sennheiser PC350 Gaming Stereo Headset 10-26000HZ 150OHM 10FT Black Noise Cancel Mic Go on sale sometimes from $110-$150 (I got for $120 on Black Friday as few years ago) in 17 yrs of online gaming these are the best I've ever had.

I recently got these too: Logitech G430 Lightweight 7.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset ON-CABLE Controls LAY-FLAT Earpieces Mic and while under your budget they provide great sound and mic quality. Not as comfortable, or audio quality as good as the Sennheiser 350 though. I only ordered these while waiting for ear pad replacements for the Sennheiser and wife uses them too.
 
Been waiting for this shit for over a year: AntLion Audio ? Welcome

If anyone knows of an alternative which attaches to your head, I'm all ears. I would like a mic that I can use with speakers or any headphones, not attached to a headset. It would also help if it's not a POS.

I was looking at some corsair stuff for under a hundy. Senheizer would be nice. Not a fan of logitech stuff.
I also have an amplified sound card so no USB garbage. Anyone have a corsair headset? Thanks for your input thus far.

I wish I had time to find it for you but I bet you find the exact same headset with a chinese name on it for 40 bucks. Corsair REALLY doesn't make their own stuff. Headsets are in the especially so category. Thats not to say this isn't a good headset it is probably great.

The rather passive noise canceling microphone setups in under 100 dollar analog headsets seems more of a marketing ploy than anything actually special. Not sure what your looking for in particular.

I used to run the GameCom 780's as mentioned before but since I run my TS3 on a separate sound card to keep incoming voices off my videos I needed something analog to run a mixer with. Can't say I will recommend this but you might like it if your trying to spend not too much on something decent - Plantronics | GameCom 380

The 380's weakness is probably the damn volume control. Mine is 1.5 years old now and while even though I have a mixer on my desk to adjust sound levels out of each sound card I still habitually touch the one on the headset. Its gotten to the point where its a little fuzzy when changing volume and you have to get it just right for both speakers to be balanced. The cord is nice and thick but the split right at the end leaves it with weak looking thin cords. My last couple headsets died of bad cords this one has lasted. The mic is good and it bends into shape. Its over ear and large so pretty comfortable to me almost as nice as the USB only 780. The band is just tight enough but it flexes easy enough and doesn't squeeze the head. Ear pieces articulate as well as expected.
 
Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic are my main recommendations. They're expensive but quality, in my experience, is an order of magnitude better than Logitech and the like.
