If you're going to get that your better off to go to Walmart and pick up a cheap one in store. You should invest a bit more than that though, comfort and sound quality are both very important in choosing an online headset. Set a budget ($30+ is reasonable) and look online for reviews of headsets in your price range.

Personally, I just don't like headset's atall. I use a pair of nice headphones with a standalone mic on my desk. As someone said, you could go to any electronic retailer and pick up a cheap standalone mic to use for now in conjunction with your speakers/headphones.

However, about the headset you linked, really can't tell that much about them, I question how comfortable they are, or their durability.

I never use ebay personally, I don't know where you live so newegg may not be an option, however, something like this would be perfect imo. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121018&cm_re=microphone-_-36-121-018-_-Product

I even saw some on newegg that were $3 that I think would be fine. I've used plenty of cheap mic's and my buddies always hear me 100% fine. As said though, I can't live with cheap headphones though.

It'll work, can't attest for quality, but it should work fine for any game.

Oh yea, Newegg ships all of NA. BTW if this is your first experience using newegg, it is an AWESOME site for electronics.
