Default USB Wireless headset

I want a pair of headphones with a mic for games & teamspeak that is wireless (preferably bluetooth, since I already have a dongle) that has a peripheral noise cancellation microphone.

It also has to have a rechargeable battery and good drivers (like +20 dB boost and stuff)

Preferably around 20-40 bucks too.



My Jabra is good, but it is terrible for games, because it has an omnidirectional mic hole on it, so it picks up the game's noise.

Default Re: USB Wireless headset

I'll be fairly frank here. I know of no product that's worth a crap for the money you're looking to spend. I've tried two different wireless headsets, one from Logitech, the other an off-brand one, and they both sucked horribly. The Logitech one was $65 and used a USB antenna, but it still sucked. Especially when someone would turn on the microwave or use the cordless phone. I'd have my ears blasted with static.

Having said that, neither of mine were bluetooth headsets. They were both IR. So maybe a bluetooth set would work, but I doubt you'll be satisfied with the product you'll get for $40.

I dunno. I haven't found one yet. I haven't tried any bluetooth ones and I gave up on the others. I just use my wired set now.

I use a Plantronics headset. I got it on Fort Rucker for $45 on sale. One of the very few times the Military PX actually had cheaper prices than off post.
