Any advice on which quality gaming headset I should get that works for the PS3 and PC? I've listed a few specs I'm looking for in a headset.

-Price range $30 - $150

-Comfortable cushioned earpieces that cover the ears

-Durable

- Surround Sound or Noise Cancelling

- Good Bass

- Mic

Thanks for your suggestions.

Tritton makes headsets that work with PS3 and PC, some have mics that are compatible with the PS3: http://tinyurl.com/q37plt .


This surround version is cheaper at NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826235005 .

Thanks for the recommendations, after much searching I ended up going with this one...

So far so good, its pretty much exactly what I was looking for. The sound takes some adjusting before you hear what you want but thats expected. Setup was was easy for the PS3. I haven't tried it for the PC yet because it doesn't come ready out the box for it. Not a big problem since the extra cable it needs was only $2 more from monoprice.com. Very comfortable and after a few minutes you forget its on, thats how light it is and still seems durable and flexible. Complaints so far are sometimes you can hear a little static during complete silence. This always gets drowned out by the music or action so its nothing major. Also it would have been nice if the cable for the PC came with it.

I had alot of fun breaking it in playing COD: WaW and it definitely enhanced my gaming experience so overall I would recommend these to anybody.
