Update: Bought the Sennheiser PC 330. It cost quite a bit, but the reviews about sound quality and overall durability were too good to refuse. I'll stretch them out in time... The problem now is connecting them to my PS3. I know of a number of adaptors but they all cost around the same as the headset itself. For 2x 3.5mm jacks (One for audio, one for microphone) does anyone have a good/cheap solution to this problem?

My iPod headphones finally died yesterday (After 3 years of daily use, I certainly got my moneys worth - RIP). I decided this was an excuse to buy a proper set of headphones with microphone.
So i'm looking for a headset in the £30-50 price range (Though may go up to £100, haven't fully decided). I've checked out a few review sites but all the ones i've seen seem to cater for people with a knowledge of audio, of which I have almost none.
I want a comfortable headset (So none of those cheap in one ear or flimsy lightly padded ones) so i'm looking for some big headphones. They need to be closed back and they also need to have a microphone. As far as sound quality goes, I don't have much knowledge in that area, but i'll get the best I can afford.
Another problem i'm having is most of the sites i've seen seem to only cater for PC compatible headsets. They never seem to specify whether they are PS3/console compatible. PS3 compatability is an absolute must as i'll be using it with GT5 aswell as for general use. Another question that arises, is USB a must for good quality or can I go for the regular 3.5mm jack for both phones/microphone? I realise this could be problematic on PS3, but compatability with ipods/mp3 players would be a good bonus.
Any advise or suggestions are welcome in my search for a new headset, I don't want to make an uninformed purchase.
EDIT: Anyone know if these are PS3 compatible? I think £70 is going to be my upper limit, I can't really justify much more than that.
