Since my current headset seems to be slowly dieing, I'm looking to replace it.
One option is just to do what I've always done and get another headset, probably something along the lines of a Sennheiser PC161
However, another option which I think I would prefer is to buy some proper headphones along the lines of Sennheiser HD280's and solve the microphone problem another way
I've got absolutely no experience with mics outside of headsets, so if someone does a similar thing or can point me to a good model or brand I would appreciate it
I was thinking just something that would clip onto my shirt? I want to avoid those desktop mics if possible.
(Any suggestions for the actual headphones are welcome too, unfortunately I'll probably be using them outside of home so I can't really go open phones, which is why I was looking at the HD280's)

tl;dr - recommend me some relatively cheap but usable clip on microphone or some closed headphones in the price range of HD280's

edit: and HD555's are open headphones, im looking for closed
hmm hd280 are good too - using it with my mp3 but if you realy want to hear clear sound buy hd555 but it's realy expensive ;[[
- it is being clipped to headphones cable, for me it's a big plus as I don't have to bother with clipping to shirt and then unclipping, but watch out whether your cable isn't too thin, I guess that it could be a problem as it could be moving then
- as for loudness, it is very good, but... it also catches then environment sounds around =D I've got to mute when there was a storm outside or plane going by ^^ at least they were whining about it @ TS.
also they are open :(
Looking at that Zalman clip on mic at the moment, doesn't seem too bad, found a couple of samples of it and it sounds pretty decent.

In addition to those I'm using a Speedlink Pure Voice table mic and ppl haven't really complained so far about me sounding crappy etc.
I've had some small Labtec and a Plantronics table mic before that but returned them as they were utter shit.
Edit: You should also get a cable extension for the HD280 as it uses this curly cable which doesn't really reach too far.
I read that the HD280 cable is between 1m and 3m due to the coils, I'll probably see what its like first and if worst comes to worst i could temporarily connect my front audio jacks to my sound card until I got an extension
Might be out of your range, didn't fully read the thing, mainly the title and that was it, oh and the pic obviously.
E: Alright maybe not, judging by the prices I just checked
And this headset:
