Subject: Need help buying a gaming headset

Hey, Firstly, if you're reading the title, you're probably thinking "why would you come to the flood for this?" but see, the flood is a community consisting of mostly gamers, right?

So, I'm looking to buy a new gaming headset. One that I can use for PC (Maybe one that can be used for Xbox if available) but I only have a price range of about £60-£140 ($97-$220).
Ideally, I'd like a wireless headset too, and it's gotta have style and a really good mic. Ideally i'd like it to fold away neatly aswell.
I've looked at many various PC gaming headsets but the reviews really put me down.
I've thought about getting a Razer Blackshark, but I bought a Razer Keyboard a while back and it kinda sucks so I'm unsure.

Any of you guys got any kind of decent Gaming Headsets?

EDIT: Also, I currently use Turtle Beach X12's. But they don't cut it anymore. I need something with edge ;)

Please do not send me group invites.

I love my Steelseries Sibera v2 headset.

Turtle Beaches are pretty good I suppose.

Apparently you can hear people on the other side of the map in CoD.

EDIT: Dang.

Looks like a good headset dude! it doesn't seem like it's designed for PC gaming or anything though looking at the description and plugs on amazon

I know you said wireless, but the Razer Carcharias is a really good deal. And it works with Xbox.

I looked at them briefly, they look pretty decent. Is the mic good on it?

If you can afford to go over budget a bit the astro a40's or 50's are amazing.

I know the mic works really well on PC. Can't vouch for Xbox because I have the older model.
