Hi Al, I wouldn't go mad. In my experience you'll get above standard phone  
quality with the cheapest of headsets. I paid about £15 for mine. It's  
unbranded and it's got a nice microphone that does a good job of  
cancelling out background noise. I got mine from QuayTech in Hull. They  
have a branch in Scarborough as well. Otherwise I seem to remember some  
pretty nice looking Packard Bell (ugh) ones in Dixons for about the same  
price.

Also, Logitech make pretty good audio stuff for pc's. You won't go far  
wrong with them.
