The Corsair HS80, the best Corsair headset available - at least in my mind. It might not be as feature rich or as fancy looking as the Corsair Virtuoso XT but what it lacks there it makes up for in comfort because oh boy is it good.
It also has high-quality, high-res 96Khz/24-bit audio on PC, making it a headset to be reckoned with.
