OK - so I need to buy a new headset for gaming.  Criteria:

1) Must be comfortable for long hours - even when I'm take out the contacts and have to wear my glasses
2) USB or Mini-plug?  I've had on and off problems with my old USB headset in Vista - not sure how well USB works in Win 7.
3) See #1 - I need a headset that fits extra large heads - not joking here (Vegan).  I have never found a fitted hat in stock in any cap store in any mall that will fit me - so I can comfortably say I a much larger than average head - any suggestions?

There it is - let me know if you have any ideas.

Thanks - Fat

I would recomend my logitech ones but cant because I really hate how they make my ears hurt within an hour after putting them on.......other then that they are good for big heads and I have never had a problem with them (except hitting the mute button in differant ways) I have had them for like 4 years now.....

G35's all the way.

They're corded/USB, big huge muffs, with gel inside, volume on the ear, and macro keys. Love it.

I use turtle beach headset, everyone that puts them on loves them, it is plugs (has 4 speakers in each ear, and a mic). I have had 3 sets. One for home, one for the lan gear and one for my daughter. I love em bro, good luck!

PS I too have a big head and fits awesome, oversized ear cushions, adjustable leather strap.

There are 3 models I know of, if you decide to go with any model let me know, I found my last two for 69.99 per pair and I remember having to search for that price, everywhere else had them for 129.99 to 99.99.
