<div dir="ltr">As a gaming headset I have a SpeedLink Medusa USB, which has an integrated USB sound card. Works perfectly fine for me, although I should say I'm now on my second set (the first one died after 5 years) and kept as spares.</div>

Dear FS community,<br>
<br>
Can anyone advise me some quality headsets regarding voip. Real good<br>
speakers for listening music and such is also welcome, but the most<br>
important factor is quality of microphone and sound regarding voip.<br>
<br>
Anyone else who is mainly working with a softphone (or a headset<br>
combined with a normal physical phone)? There are so many manufacturers<br>
out there, who claim HD, etc., but I think most of it is just branding /<br>
marketing.<br>
<br>
Requirements or would be nice to have:<br>
- Wired (preferable with detachable / replaceable wires).<br>
- Noise Cancelling Microphone.<br>
- Doesn't rely on additional manufacturer software.<br>
- Good performance on BSD/Linux (my platform is 100% BSD/Linux).<br>
- Integrated good USB sound card, which is easier to handle on my<br>
platform(?)<br>
<br>
Price: not important, although the differences in prices are huge. Some<br>
have a focus for gaming, while others are pointing towards office<br>
environments.<br>
<br>
Example office (expensive): VXI UC ProSet LUX 31<br>

<br>
If someone can help me/others decide what to look for: many thanks for<br>
reading and sharing your knowledge and experience with me/us!<br>
