I think you know where I'm going with this... anyone...

    best headset for the money?

    $349, but he has been backordered since Christmas... Highly recommended. If you dont like in-ear, AvShop sells an unbranded lightspeed ANR for $249. I have one of those too - works great. Get the gel seals.
