Mine are dying. The protective coating on the wire is coming off at one point from being twisted so much.

I've looked at the Steelseries Siberia's, and Creative Fatality's. I've also looked at Sennheiser and Razer but dunno which model they put out are comfortable/sound good.

Looking at previous threads, the Siberia's sound very good but $100 is a bit pricey. Are there any other suggestions?

To clear things up, I want something between around $50 and $100CDN (preferably less than $100) used for gaming, Teamspeak, Ventrilo and listening to music. I don't want suggestions that I get good headphones + a clip on/stand up mic. I also don't want a USB mic. I'm not an audiophile so no arguing about ohms, watts, dB, hertz, etc. If it gets out of hand I'll delete the topic.

Siberias are nice, very comfortable and great gaming and ts. Mic is crisp and clear.

Thanks for the feedback. Now I'm just trying to find somewhere that sells them for less than $100

i second panzer's post. the siberias are indeed awesome. i got my first pair for $20ish, and the second for $60. must be damn expensive in canada. maybe you can order off buy.com (that's where i got it both times) and ship to canada, and that might be cheaper?

I have these, they are nice, haven't had a chance to try out the mic yet though. pretty good sound for $25 bucks.

Probably better to go with previous more pricey suggestions though. Most likely they are better quality.

Thanks for mentioning that I just found out buy.com has a Canadian counterpart (ca.buy.com). Unfortunately they don't have any Steelseries though

Both Newegg, buy.com, and Amazon all have Canadian sites but their selection is fucking pathetic.

I can't find a god damn store near me that sells the Creative Fatal1ty headset.

Any other suggestions around $50-60 before I decide to buy the Fatal1ty ones online?

Siberia's are too much. Sorry to those who suggested it.
