Hi chaps,

So my old headset gave up the ghost recently and I am struggling to find something which is comfortable enough to wear for a couple of hours at a time.

In the last week, I have purchased the Corsair Raptor HS40's and Plantronics GameCom 780's, neither of which are any good.

The Plantronics have the most uncomfortable earcups ever with no padding and combined with a vice like grip on your head, leads to a very quick headache and painful ears.

The Corsair's, whilst having considerably more ear padding, have really large earcups which dont sit over-ear. When worn for more than 30 minutes, the leatherette material makes them uncomfortable to wear as you end up with really hot and sticky ears.

So now im looking for suggestions.

What do you guys use?
Standalone mic or combined headset?
Single ear headsets?

Shoot your thoughts - i'm all ears (couldn't resist the pun).
