It's not exactly what you're asking for, but I can tell you about the ones I'm using.
I've got the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset.
I paid less than 25$ for it, and for that price, it's a fucking steal. But I'd not shell out full price for something with a headband like that. Incidentally, I'll Paypal anyone 20$ if they can get the headband to not give me headaches, but the fix needs to be less silly/embarrassing than the lion fleece hat I'd normally wear to pad my head.

Oh, and I've also got a pair of Plantronics .Audio 480s (w/ the USB connection adapter). I carry these with my laptop for gaming (and VoIP calls) on the go. I appreciated the design incorporating both the 3.5mm plugs and the USB adapter, but since my laptop has the single integrated in/outbound 3.5mm jack, I can only use the USB adapter. It also has an in-line volume slider and mute toggle. The cord's shorter than my desktop headset's, but it's reasonable for an on-the-go headset.
I switched the default bud caps for foam caps (probably ganked from skullcandy earbuds) and can wear the mic bud without using the plastic tab thing. Speaking on it is weeeeird (you hear yourself in your head), but the outbound quality is pretty good and the bud design does block out a lot of ambient noise.
I'm very happy to have these as my portable/back-up headset. The construction is good, and even while everyone hates the plastic tab on the mic bud, I understand that there's not much you can do to alleviate the need for it. Comes with a neat little carrying case. I also got them for < 14$.

If you're not itching to buy a headset immediately and want to save some cash for other neat goodies, put up some deal alerts on http://www.fatwallet.com or http://www.dealnews.com with the keyword "headset". I see Logitech and other well regarded headsets show up with hefty discounts every so often. (It's how I got my headsets for much cheaper than MSRP.)
