Default I need a good headset
Will be used for everything basically; I'm looking for a good (5.1?) headset that's max $100, preferably under $80 CAD. I play css, cod4, tf2 + more and use iTunes. Remember I'm Canadian.

This is the best setup I could come around, I just bought the Zalman mic and I got it for $8 shipped and I must say it was worth it my only niche was that the clip wasn't that good, but you can use anything to clip it to your shirt.

I just saw this too. I've been lookng for deals on Ebay and this might seem like the best deal to buy it new.
