I’m looking for a good affordable PC headset (50-60 dollar range is what I was thinking) that can be worn for hours at a time without crushing my huge ears. Basically every headset I’ve tried for the past few years had been painful on my ears after an hour or so of wearing.

Just to give an idea, what I’ve mainly been using lately is [this](http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-JUG-00001-LifeChat-LX-3000-Headset/dp/B000J4WPW8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342373672&sr=8-1&keywords=microsoft+lifechat). It barely fits over my ears, but still kinda squishes them.

Anyone have any suggestions?
