What are some good USB headsets?

I go through a lot of headsets because I am hard on them. The one I have now is a $20 Logitech USB headset I bought in a rush at Walmart the first night I played Borderlands with Matt and Zach. So these lasted me 10 months. I guess I am looking for something with a little better sound quality.

I have some Plantronics 995's and I have had then four months or so and they are pretty good.

Wireless too. Nice.

The Rosewill RHTS-8206 USB 5.1 Gaming Headset is new but based on the reviews people seem to like it.

Sony VAIO 13.3" T-Series Ultrabook

Bought it for Buu for college. Got a nice deal:

$827 total including a free 160GB PS3
-$200 Sell PS3
$627 Net cost

The Ultrabook includes a 13.3" screen (only 1366x768), 3rd gen I5-3317U (w/HD4000 graphics), 4GB RAM, 500 GB Hybrid hard drive, Win7 Home Premium.

So, my hunt for a new headset has come down to two different ones.

The Rosewill RHTS-8206, the same pair that Lenny recommended above.

and

The Logitech G35

Anybody have any opinions on these two?

I like Logitech products and the G35 would match my G15 and G9x keyboard and mouse and Rosewill's quality can be hit or miss but $40 cheaper is quite the incentive.

Bought The Political Machine 2012 on Steam for $7.

If you're unfamiliar with The Political Machine series, they're political strategy games where you have to run a political campaign for president. It's actually less about the actual politics and more about the strategy of where to run TV ads, where to do interviews, where to hold fundraising things. It's also pretty light-hearted and fun. Not serious at all.

I've played the original version (based on 2004 election) and the 2008 version, and I was wondering if Stardock was planning to release a version for the 2012 presidential election and, da ta, they are!

Activision Blizzard is up for sale: anyone still think the games industry is not about to crash?

Sort of a "the sky is falling" title, but an interesting read.

One of you hippys will buy it.....

2X Cheetah Mounts Articulating Arm Mount Bracket for VESA 100 LCD LED Flat Screen Monitor Displays/TVs 12"-24" up to 40lbs Tilt and Swivel

mounting to the wall I take it? I have my 2 asus vw266h's mounted to the desk with a couple clamp on mounts from monoprice. They could be better as far as easily adjusting them, but for the price they're not bad. I had to modify my desk and the bracket on one of them a bit so it no longer clamps on but is screwed directly into the desk, but they're holding strong.

If I do it again I'm getting a mount built specifically for 2-3 monitors.

was going to get the desk mounts but the back of my desk is less then 1" think and most of the mounts required a thicker mount.
