With my moving to Japan next month I need to get myself a good PC headset. This would be use for skype and play Team Fortress 2 on my laptop. I don't know anything about quality headsets for PC, although I think I remember reading if you get a USB one it works as a 2nd sound device.
Also, is it very complicated to make voice only go through the speakers on the headset while the normal sound comes through the speakers on my laptop? It's not that big of a deal, but when playing a game I'd rather just hear someones voice directly in my ear than all the sound effects of shooting and such. I am not looking to spend a fortune, and don't need something too bulky so I can fit it in my suitcase. Clarity is of course also important since i'll be using it to skype with my family back in the states.
Suggestions on any specific heasets/where to buy?
