    Something comparable to the Xbox Live headset for the PC?

    just looking for a good mic or mic+earpiece.

    hopefully steam will get its act together and allow us to separate the voice-chat audio from the game audio.

    PS2 headsets have always worked well for me. Logitech I think.

    You mean the wireless one-ear design? Pretty much any Bluetooth headset will work, if you have either an internal Bluetooth card or USB Bluetooth dongle. Plantronics is reputed to make some pretty good ones, although I've only had experience with their stereo headsets.

    But yeah, masterchef, you're much better off getting a good stereo headset.

    ok, just trying to be clear. i am not looking for something of xbox headset quality.

    just trying to explain the formfactor in few words.

    looking for a simple, wireless, one ear headset. possibly without a speaker at all (just the mic)
