On the off chance someone stumbles across this thread looking for their own headset, I should take a second to give a glowing recommendation to the Steelseries Siberia V2. I was a bit nervous with getting it all set up but it was peaches, great sound quality for music as much as for FH, the mic is crystal clear and it is super comfortable. If you can get one with the soundcard included like I did, all the better.
I paid $119.99 Canadian and got the headset, the USB soundcard (plugs into USB port, and you plug your headset into the soundcard at the end of the USB cable). Also came with an extension (just eyeballing it I'd say the extension is 6 feet long, I'm 5-10 and it's longer than I am tall) so you can be a ways away from your computer and still use it fine. Going to sound like a bit of a brand slut but I've never bought anything gaming-related for PC before I got FH2, and in the past month I've picked up this headset, a Steelseries Kana mouse and Merc Stealth keyboard, and all three are absolutely fantastic. The three put together probably cost me around $250 Canadian but I have zero complaints at all. The mouse is great, the keyboard is fucking incredible and the headset, as I said, it's well worth the money. The mouse and the headset plug into the two USB slots that are in the keyboard, so that's a bonus as well.
Appreciate the help in here, thanks very much.
