there are a few good logitech and creative headsets with mic. If you are really thinking of chatting there is a Philips (earphones) at Rs 400, I say that the mircophone being in the earphones benefits the mic doesnt gets ruined easily and your head doesnt gets commpressed of the speakers of the headsets. I dont know of any good spacy headsets with mics.

in the 3k+ range? great audio too... stereo+ wireless/bluetooth?

Heard of 2 headsets:
1.Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
*www.logitech.com/repository/254/jpg/1672.1.0.jpg
& 2.Logitech Premium Notebook Headset
*images.americas.creative.com/images/products/large/16337.png

But both are not cordless... I think the Fatal1ty scores better among the two... what say, guyz?

What about the Creative Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset? R they available in Bangalore? Wher can I get 'em?
What about the Creative SL3100 and SE2300 bluetooth headsets? Cost... Which one's better?
The 2300 looks kool *www.tech2.com/media/images/img_2942_hrise_se2300.jpg

I guess the time is up. But then just for reference for other guys...
I bought Panasonic RP-HT090 Headphone. Nice headphone, stable sound, very long cable, with plug extension for TV. It costs approx 500 rs.
