Before you go buy the Sony gold's, look up some reviews elsewhere. They have a terrible reputation for bad microphone quality. They sound good to the user, but they punish everyone you talk to. I personally use turtle beach P12's. They're not bad at all, and they're about half the price of the Sony headset. If you dont hate your friends, I would recommend them. If you like hearing your friends say "what?" all day, go with the gold's.
