Headphones

Any recommendations? After a decent set that include a microphone. After a couple hour warhammer session its come to light just how truly uncomfortable my current pair are.

I have the Creative Fatal1ty headset. It's nice, big, and comfortable. The mic is really good quality too.

I've been using these Sennheiser ones for a while, and they are very comfortable with a nice long cord.

Sennheiser: PC 166 USB

All I would say on this subject is that I have had a couple of pairs of very good but expensive sennheisers for my pc including gaming and have always found that the connections die far earlier than you would expect - definite money sink.

I picked up a fairly comfy pair a few months ago for about £15 only... well worth it until manufacturers stop making the perishables

I have to say my existing pair are Sennheiser. Given that last night was not exactly an intensive session, they were really poor. Granted they're not top of the range or anything but I'd expected far better considering this was the first proper use I'd made of them (if you can call talking to Jup proper use ).

I have been looking at the Fatal1ty from Creative. Detachable microphone seems quite spinky and they appear to be normal headphones rather than rather expensive "USB take all your stuffs with you, OMG L33T" ones which is mostly what I'm turning up

Further suggestions welcome as I'll be picking this up to go with Warhammer itself which won't be till either the end of this month or next month.

Noc0de is on a distinguished road
Got a pair of these myself Sennheiser PC-350

They are about £90 though, but do have excellent sound with a very good mic. They unfortunately do have that horrible plastic/fake leather material for the earpieces which means you can get a little hot after long gaming sessions.
