PC Gamer is running an article which I found extremely interesting, almost shocking in some places. Well worth a read and I think perhaps you will be surprised about some of these expensive headsets and what's actually in them, I certainly was:

We tested 23 mainstream gaming headsets to find the best | PC Gamer
 
I've tried a few of these and I'm not sure I agree with their numbers

For instance right now I'm using a Turtle Beach Stealth 450... they have it ranked:

- Design: closed-back
- Interface: analog
- Audio: 5/10
- Microphone clarity: 9/10
- Comfort: 3.5/10
- Detachable cable: yes
- Extras: in-line volume/mic control
- Price: $130


Real Stats (as found by me
Interface: Digital 7.1ch surround, analog only when using mobile cable to listen to music through that interface.
Audio: 7/10
Microphone Clarity: 9/10
Comfort: 7/10
Extras: In-line volume/mic control and preset button for functions like vocal boost, bass boost, etc.
Price: $109
