Cyber Acoustics AC-100R (Click here for technical data).

Broke? Ain't got no money? Here's a headset for under 15 bucks. It has good sound quality and is noise free, to both sender and receiver. Light weight, so it doesn't cramp your ears. Mine lasted about 4 months before the mic boom came loose. I taped it up and it still does an ok job. For trouble free satisfaction, pick another headset. But you sure can't beat this price if you're on a budget and need a headset urgently.
