I find I'm using my laptop quite a bit in my room, where it's across the room plugged into a TV. I just picked up Logitech's K400r to replace a USB mouse/keyboard setup, which is working great, but now I'd like to add the option to have a headset and mic as well.

What I'm looking for is:
-Comfortable
-Decent sound (obviously nothing fancy)
-Decent mic
-Decent battery life
-Reasonably priced, say closer to $50 than $100

What do y'all thing?
 
I am bit spoiled by my Sennheiser 590's and can't stand most wireless headsets even some of the "nicer" models, I wonder if it is just an open vs closed design that I am being a baby about.

I posted a few but then realized you asked for wireless, unfortunately I can't find any "open" wireless models, probably due to design complexity?

Oh, I'd kill for something relatively as comfortable as my HD555's but with wireless capability and a mic. Hell, I'm not opposed to pulling my Zalman mic out of the spare parts bin and using my closed (sweaty as hell) AudioTechnica ATH-9s (something like that, the noise canceling ones). I'd probably need to pick up a powered USB3 hub if the ~20' USB cable sucks to much power to work, but I'd be using them with an Asus USB thingy that does quite alright for basic sound.
 
not personally aware of much I would think is worth the hassle / money wireless wise.

That's why I'm asking :cool:, cause I'm not aware either- but I think I got the USB cord off Monoprice for next to nothing. Works great, was previously powering a Logitech G15v2 keyboard, G500 mouse, and an ID card reader, with the mouse and reader plugged into the keyboard's USB ports.

I'm just tired of using a full-size keyboard, mouse, and mousepad, tethered to a cable, from the bed; it works surprisingly well, but it's still awkward. The little Logitech K400r does a decent job of replacing both; functionality is obviously reduced considerably, yet, I can do most of everything I'd want to do with it. Getting a wireless headset would complete the setup, really.
