i tried litterally a million headsets before, have been using my current logitec G330 headset for over a yr.
i accidentally sat on it 5 times in its lifetime, squished it and tied it with it own wire to fit it in my jacket every day of the week for over a yr, and it still annoys the fuck out of everyone on the server who hears my voice lol
jk but seriously, for a 50$ headset (last yr, now it should be no more than 30 bucks), this headset is ridiculously NICE, gd sound, never had trouble with it , VERY comfortable for the ear... the best i;ve had so far, bcos u can swivel the back of the headset to find the perfect spot behind ur neck and rest there ,,, ur mic isnt annoyingly pressed to u , u can rotate it in all 3 dimensions, oh and the headband itself can extend so that it accomodates a thick skull, if that matters to u :P
it comes with a mic on/off switch and best of all, it allows u to either use regular audio jacks for when u use an ipod or ur speaker output, and also has a usb jack that actually contains its OWN sound card, so if u sound card on ur pc got fucked or disabled (sometimes they do that at work or university or library laptops), u can still hear through ur own sound card, and its gd quality!!!

only problem i ever had with it was trying to watch a low voiced tv series in my living rooom on thanksgiving day:P
i could still hear the series fine, but couldnt filter out my aunt's annoying high pitched voice:P but other than that, it works just fine to listen to smthn...
PS: i wear this headset more than 10 hours a day.... i never had any headacke or pain or any kind of trouble with it , very smooth on the head:P
