Goto Radioshack, I bought a headset with mic for like $30 about 5 years ago and still have it. It was made by Koss, just with the radioshack optimus brand for like 60% less than the Koss at other stores.

Is it high quality? I'd rather spend more money and get something really good if it isn't. Thanks.

as far as i can tell my optimus which is a koss also, is as good a quality as any i have tried, and like kfickert said it's alot less expensive to buy the radio shack optimus brand. i paid $10 dollars for mine, but it was a grand opening sale and they had alot of things really cheap. same set is $30 now.

It doesn't have the noise cancelling and other modern stuff, but the fact its lasted for 5 years says a lot and its Koss with a different name. I don't know about today, but 5 years ago Koss was the brand all my audiophile friends were recommending.
As far as quality, it does what I need it to do. Works fine when chating over teamspeak and rogerwilco.
