Comfortable, plugs into your headphone and microphone plug (Aka no USB software. Usable straight from the box). Great speaker quality. Great microphone quality. I've had mine for over a year now and have had zero problems with them. The cable is plenty long, so you don't have to have any special cable lengtheners. Microphone mute switch and independent volume gauge on the cable, so you don't have to fiddle with your computer sound (unless you don't want to). Oh, and the mic moves out of the way if you don't need it there to speak, like if you're eating, which I'm sure happens a lot at the computer. The only problem you might have is that the mic can only be on the left ear, not the right, but the headset itself is both-eared. Oh, and if there's no sound going on at all, there's a wee bit sound of static, almost sounds like background noise, but if you have sound going at all, it's nonexistant.

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/digitalcommunication/productdetails.aspx?pid=006 Its what I use, has a volume control on it and a mute button (good for voice chats) also mic swivels out of the way, 2 sided headphone left sided mic, pretty cheap. At first (first 3 days) they were obscenely painful with my glasses, but after that they felt fine. My brother got pissed and threw them at the ground and now they have a rattling inside if they are tipped upside down, but they still work fine, which shows its pretty strong. Uses USB, and comes with software, but when I got it I never installed any and it works perfectly. Would recommend.

I actually use a bluetooth. Maybe not the best choice, but it also works with your phone, is wireless, and isn't at all cumbersome. I don't really have problems with it. Except that, at the moment, I have one dongle and a wireless keyboard (the original dongle of which is broken) so its a keyboard-or-bluetooth kind of thing.

It is if you have any sort of sound at all.
