What kind of computer headphones or headset do I use?

[Star Tiffany]

I've received a couple of requests for my recommendation on what headphones or headset to buy for a computer. I am not an expert and I do not endorse any one brand, but these are what I have and it works well for what I use them, Web Forums, webinars, Online Meetings and listening to music. Since they have a mic you can also use them to speak as well as listen (Skype and or VoIP). I bought them on Amazon (again no endorsement) because they seemed to have the best price.

One piece of advice, if you want to hunt around for a good deal on headphones, make sure you are comparing apples to apples or headsets to headsets in this case - make sure you verify the item model number; you may have to hunt for it, but it's worth it!

Let me know what you think!
Or if you are using another headset - which one and do you like it?

Just got another request for this today! I still like these headphones and they are great for people who cannot have computer speakers plus the cord is long enough to stand up and get something out of "sitting" reach.
