Is the Gamecom 377 Headset worth buying?

[BurningSkyline]

I need a lower priced headset for my PC. Preferably under $40. Does anybody here own the Gamecom 377 headset and think it is worth buying?

Also, If you have any alternatives please post.

does it need a Mic?

i bought a gamecom 777 for like $30 off ebay and it's really good. The 377 is the same but without the "virtual surround".

No it doesn't need a mic but it would be nice.

Personally, i would not recommend any of the gamecom headsets if you are looking for the best audio quality. For Sub $40, unless you absolutely need a mic, i would go with either of these:

or
http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD203-DJ-Style-Lightweight-Headphones/dp/B003LRN53I

The gamecom headsets are decent for gaming, but if you're going to use them for music and such as well, i'd suggest either of the above.

You can also get a Zalman clip on mic and use it for games, which is what I plan to do with my HD201's

Yeah, zalman makes a nice clip on mic, and i believe they also make a mic that clips to the cord which works pretty well. (I believe its zalman, might be confusing it with another manufacturer).

Yeah, these will mostly be used for music but I do plan on playing some games. I don't need surround sound, but I just want good audio quality.

Then yeah, i would definately suggest the JVC or Senns.

what about the mic, though?

EDIT: how good is the bass on those headsets you suggested me?
