I know you want a headset, but if you really want to listen to quality music, AND be able to talk, you should buy some good headphones and one of the mics that you can clip onto the headphone wire.

At this point there is no such thing as wireless headphones that live up to the audio quality of wired phones. Many people like earbuds, but personally for me nothing can give the same feel as a nice semi-open set of OTEs.

BeyerDynamic 770s/880s/990s depending on if you prefer closed, semi-open, or open design are right at the top of bang for your buck audio quality. Being a studio engineer I don't enjoy listening to anything that doesn't have fantastic quality, so it's worth the extra coin to me. (got mine for 264 for a pair of the 880s (semi-opens))

I use my Logitech mic and it works just fine, on my laptop I just use the built in mic and it works just fine. But if you really want a quality mic to go with it, there are some pretty good quality 'clip ons' that can be purchased fairly cheap.
