So, I have had this rather cheap, but incredible headset for the price for probably a year and a half. Maybe two or so years. Anyway, since I got the thing, I have been weary of the swiveling ear pieces breaking, as they felt pretty flimsy and creaky, etc. However, I don't take these with me anywhere like ever, so I never fold them up or swivel them into "Traveling Position" I guess you could say, which makes them more compact to take on the go. Folding these up like all the time makes them a whole lot more apt to breaking.
Well, anyway, today, the right side finally gave out.
It is just a bit of a crack, and doesn't look TOO horribly major, but it definitely has changed the way the piece moves and feels, certainly is moving closer to finally breaking off. This has opened my eyes to the fact that: I need a new headset. The exact headset I have is a Nox Audio Specialist headset, can be found on amazon here...

This headset has just been great. To play games with friends and Skype at the same time, it has just been wonderful. Previously, I had to use the mic for my 5th gen iPod touch which worked surprisingly well, actually. My voice was nice and clear, as was my friends was who was using an iPad 3. Anyway, for 20 bucks this headset has offered slightly better quality than that even, which in my eyes is great for the price xD (Considering my friend spent 70$ on his Razer Kraken it might be called? idk his razer mouse might even be called that xD his voice quality is awful. Sounds only slightly better than an ordinary PHONE CALL. Not any wifi call or anything. Horrible. Nasalated, scratchy, ugh. It isn't his internet either, we recorded it just using his PC and played it back and there was no difference) phew, so pretty much, the headset also offers pretty good sound, comparable to my brothers mini Sennheisers, which were 60 bucks.

The sound on his headphones (no mic or anything) is overall a little bit clearer, but he has slightly more *oomph* to the bass, and we both agreed on this. My headphones have worked well as PC headphones/mic, and work well for just listening to music, watching general videos, etc. Also, they are a little bulky, but aren't insane. The ear pieces are nice and comfy, but the headband on top gets a little uncomfortable after about and hour and a half to two hours of use, but in that case, you just move the headphones a bit and problem is solved.
So... Anyway, any suggestions? Nothing too bulky, or expensive. Also, I use this primarily with my PC and my iPod/iPad, so it has to have a 3.5 mm headphone connector. It needs to have a decent quality mic, and pretty good sound, too... I am thinking 50-70$ TOPS here so... Yeah ._.
