    Okay I am looking for 3 things.

    1) A Wireless headset with decent sound/good mic for vent and gaming on my laptop. Im tired of using wired because my siberia left ear goes off so I have to rma. So im probably gonna sell it once I get the RMA from them.

    2) Earbuds to plug into my iphone doesn't have to have mic i just want it to listen to music does not need a lot of bass but I would prefer to hear some instead of a faint one.

    3) If the earbuds for the iphone will work great to listen to vent or gaming on my laptop when im on the go (dont like carrying around headsets) that would be awesome.

    My limit for the 1st one I would like to stay around the range of $60-80 it depends if I can sell my siberia and for how much if I sell at a good price prob go for $100. Earbuds would like to stay at the $30 range. thanks in advance.

    Logitech G930 for the wireless. I have it and it's fantastic. Get it, sales go on Newegg from time to time. Great sound on low, mid and high ends. Mic sound crisp and clear.

    Don't know if great wireless headsets go for 60-80, but the G930 is at like 100$ and I hear it's superb. I will probably order it myself when I order my laptop.
    Newegg.com - Logitech G930 USB Connector Circumaural Wireless Gaming Headset

    Only others that are 60 to 80 that I see on newegg are:
    Newegg.com - PLANTRONICS .Audio 995 USB Connector Circumaural Digital Stereo Headset

    Newegg.com - Creative HS-1200 USB Connector Circumaural Digital Wireless Gaming Headset

    Check out Head-fi, but any old earbuds should work if you aren't audiophile level

    For the earbuds, I would recommend Klipsch Image S4. I have a pair and I can't even go back to the Apple buds, they sound like pure garbage by comparison. The Klipsch ones are also a lot more comfortable (for me, anyway, I have smallish ears and the Apple ones don't really fit well).
