For those well acquainted with them, what would be the best pair of headset mics to get. Or will any cheap pair do?

This is what I've been using for the past 2 years.

And so far so good.

I actually went to big lots and bought a $5 headset. Quality was low, but I could understand everyone and they I. I hear Plantronics is good.

So just buy a cheapo, then check reviews on Newegg and save your monies.

I'm trying to choose between the reliable Sony MDR-7506 and the baka desu-ne onee-chan weeaboo AKG K701s. I hear the K701s have shitty bass but are perfect in every other way, while the 7506s are high-tier headphones sold for a low price whose only downside is being uncomfortable. Anyone here have experience with either of these?

There's a $200 price difference at least. I would go for the MDR-7506, unless you spend all day with them on, then I would go with something maybe more comfortable.

I'm very bad at headphone reviews, but I'll try to bring up interesting points.

* They're easy to drive, so even if an amp helps, it's not necessary.
* The cable is replaceable. (1/8" Male to 1/4" male, I think)
* They're definitely leagues clearer than cheaper headphones I've owned (Though I wouldn't call the clarity a spectacular jump from most $80+ headphones)
* The headphones themselves sort of make you feel like you're in a room (compared to sounding "in your head"). Things like voices and claps tend to sound "up front", while other stuff sounds far away. It's great for games and movies, but some songs are ruined by it. (But hey, some other songs sound way better. I mean WAY better. Holy shit better.)
* The bass is neutral. Not too heavy, not too light. I'd personally prefer a bit more impact.
* The highs aren't as unbearable as on my Portapros, but it's still pretty bright, and not the sort of headphones you use for relaxing.
* It handles most genres either well, or well enough. Almost as fun as my portapros, but not as much. It's perfect for movies and games, IMO, but only 'almost' perfect for music. Well, even that is kinda harsh. I'd just prefer a bit more bass for times I want exciting music, or a more laid back sound for studying. It's a compromise, and I'd be spoiled to ask for more.

Next thing I'll be looking for is an Orthodynamic headphone. Preferably dark, for studying and drinking alone while masturbating to your pictures on Facebook.

Looking into getting a new pair of earbuds since my old pair I've been using just crapped out. I've heard some good things about the Klipsch IMAGE S4, anyone know of any others that are a good choice that fall under the 100 dollar mark?
