OK it has become abundantly clear I need new head sets. My mic is all but fucked, even though I am screaming at you guys on TS you can't hear me most of the time and my right speaker is very crackly and unclear.
I currently have Roccat Kave's and they were good for 2 year but then fucked up. I expected them to last longer considering they were R900 and Roccat make good stuff.
I now need advice on what new set to get, here are my constraints
* R1000 absolute max I can spend
* I don't have a fancy sound card just a plain Supreme X-fi that came with my mobo
* I don't mind stereo or 5.1
So any suggestions? I need to make a decision ASAP so I can get them next week some time
New Headset VERY URGENT

I am also looking at a new pair of headset. My Corsair H1 finally decided to die on me. I think the cable which enters the earpiece is a bit wonky and as such not great. I bought them either at last year's rAge, or the event before last year and I must admit I was very pleased with them.
Paul, I am currently considering this set here:
http://www.corsair.com/en/pc-computer-audio/gaming-headsets/vengeance-2100-dolby-7-1-wireless-gaming-headset.html
but I am not sure how the wireless will work. They seem to be using decent technology in that regard so quess it should be ok.
I am in the same boat that I need to get a replacement, or at least just an el-cheopo mic, so if anybody have advise here, please let us have it. Currently I am using these earphones: http://www.trustedreviews.com/beats-studio_Headphones_review with my corsair MIC still plugged in. These earphones are very good but may be a bit more than the R1000 budget you have. (as mentioned, I may just keep the Dr Dre's and just get an el-cheopo mic)
Jarrod / Paul, I've read the shout box about me selilng my pair to Paul, the pair yuo are talking about is the one mentioned above so no good sorry.

I use a clip on mic with my Senny HD555's. It works pretty well, AFAIK no-one has problems hearing me in TS(?). However, I do find having two cables to be a bit of a pain in the arse. I've taped the two wires together, but it gets quite annoying and stiff.
Given the choice I'd get a proper headset, but with my 555's it would be quite an expensive replacement to get the same quality audio (PC360's are what I'd go for).

In the last 6 years for gaming the most expensive headset I bought was about R250 I think, so for me its about just hearing the ingame sounds and what is going on around me., would love a decent pair, but will wait for my current cheappy to fail on me.
Q1 : How did the game go
Paul: Paul : Those fucking dipshit hackers came at us like a bull trying to ram a Spaniard in tights
Paul: "Firstly they went on and on and on about UAC! Fuck UAC! UAC ain't nothing, why you niggas questioning my honour? Is it because I am black?"
Paul: "Then they came to a knife fight with a sword! A sword I tell you! Those limp wristed fools need a sword to counter act our brilliance"
Paul: "Didn't matter though, even though we lost the knife fight we still go the maps we wanted,nooooooobs!"
Paul: "After that I didn't concentrate much because I busy getting blown by all of the PewPew guys mom's"
Paul: "Even one of the sisters wanted to join in and I was all like Bitch please, you need to go practise first"
Paul: ANd that boys and girls is how you mother fucking answer a mother fucking question!
