    I've got the Logitech 'Clear Chat PC Wireless' headset.

    The charge holds for around six hours.
    And if I'm doing AV's on AV weekend, I can play with the cord in which charges as it is used.

    The ear piece blocks out other sounds...
    So cannot hear the TV in the next room (with both doors open), nor the phone ring.

    The ears tend to get a little sore from the headset after 8 or 9 hours of AV.
    But not sure if anything would be comfy after that long.

    Mine were around $100.

    "Audiophile" quality headphones are generally much, much more comfortable than other types of headsets. I have worn my Sennheiser's all day and had no discomfort at all. I cannot say the same for most other headphones I have owned. My brother has a set of AKG headphones that are also extremely comforatble. The weight of the heaphones plus the ear cushion material have a huge impact on wearability. The Logitech G series headphones have a leather like ear cup that will seal to your skin. This can cause sweating and irritation during long sessions. Headphones with felt or velour types of materials typically let your skin breath and are more comfortable as a result.

    It may sound like an exaggeration, but I have actually forgotten that I was wearing my headphones because they are so comfortable.

    looking at the Sennheiser PC360 headset but cannot find a wireless option. I have only looked on Amazon so that could be the problem. I feel that wireless will be the choice I make so the Logitech G930 Wireless 7.1 headphones have the lead so far. Thanks for any other help before I buy.

    Just a heads up re: G930

    If you already have a G510 keyboard, the Logitech driver I've found will not play nice!

    When I try to do the install for G930, after installing the G510 on a new platform (win 7) the drivers fail and the Logitech software will not start up. Not even after restarting windows.

    Edit: It will work. You will need to run it as administrator though.
