Need a cheap headset? Found one.

I got this some time ago but forgot about it until last night, when I was playing Counterstrike: Source with a few buddies (including Evan). With voice chatting becoming a popular feature being added into online games (and ventrilo servers making up for those that don’t), the gamer is finding more and more reasons to jump on the bandwagon and get a headset. While I am biding my time until I can get a nice wireless one, I was in Gamestop around January and came across this gaming headset for about 20 bucks. Features include 6 ft. cable, easy-access volume control on the cord, behind-the-head grip, fold-up microphone for storage, and no setup required. Microphone requires no preliminary setup. Decent sound quality for the price, and the microphone’s pickup quality is actually quite nice for the price. The behind-the-head look is very stylish , though if you wear them for an extended periods of time they (for lack of a better term) feel like they chafe the ears since, like all related styles of earphones, pinch the ears to stay on. Overall a great little portable headset if you feel the need to give in and try one out for yourself.

although I didn’t order it from there, I found a link to the headset at newegg.com here.
