Crap? Badass? I think you're looking for the e-coli brand of headphones. :p
 
Try the Beyer model DT297. It has close to a studio quality condenser microphone, meaning your board/mixer will have to be able to supply the necessary phantom power (9 to 48 volts DC) The microphone element is mounted in a rubber shock isolation that really cuts down on handling noise. It has a larger diaphram than most combo mic/headsets, yielding a much better, natural sounding low-end response. But if you are a "P-popper" it is less forgiving, even with the foam pop screen. BSW or Crouse-Kimzey usually has decent prices on them, something less than $300.
 
Great, thanks I'll look into those. :) Anyone else have any suggestions?

I like the Beyer DT190. You pay a little more for them, but they're worth the money.
 
As far as a good condenser, check out the Studio Projects line. Their upper-end (while low cost) can perform extremely well. I have even heard pro's comment that they almsost as well as a Neuiman or Sure U series!

Agreed. I know sportscasters that won't use anything but the DT190. AKG has some decent good headset/mic combos, too.
 
I think BSW is currently having a sale on the AKG, Beyer and Sennheiser versions. Might take a look. (I'm not selling anything, just passing it on.)
