I need a new gaming headset..

Apr 15, 2010 1:38PM PDT

Well, a year back I bought the complete Astro A40 Set with the control box and all the little cords. (http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/3/A40-Audio-System/)

But over time I've noticed that the sound quality isn't really worth the money I payed for it. Too late to return it, so I want to just upgrade to something a little better.

These are my requirements:

-two 3.5mm jacks (one for sound one for mic) can possibly be USB, but I would prefer to use the control box from the A40 set.
-must have a boom mic (doesn't matter if its flexible or not)
-excellent sound quality more movies/music/games (preferably incredible bass)
-within $100-$300
-would prefer to be wireless if at all possible

I know thats a tall order, but if anyone knows of any headset that would have excellent mic quality for VoIP, and great sound quality for booming explosions, as well as being able to hear the enemy attempting to sneak up behind me

Thanks so much,
-Reid

Sennheiser PC 350s is a good choice.

But I never heard of Siberia brand before. Is this a good brand?
