Default Best headset/mic under 50$?

Ok, I need a good headset mic for 50 or less. I have been searching for one that works well for me for literally years. They always seem to either have great sound but no one can hear me, or people can hear me great but are extremely uncomfortable.

For instance, just last night i gave a microsoft behind the neck headset a try, and people can hear me great, but after about 10 minutes it starts to hurt where they press above my ears. Can anyone reccomend any that are comfortable, sound ok, (doesnt have to sound awesome) with an adjsutable mic that works well?

Rep for responses, and thanks guys!

I got these from Newegg a few months ago for $50 or so.

Headsets as such aren't great, really.

You'd be best off getting a seperate pair of stereo headphones and a Zalman Clip-on mic.

Get a pair of JVC RX300 headphones, or Sennheiser HD202s and a Zalman clip-on mic, that should come to <$50 and will stomp on any headset out there.
