Wireless headset for Vent/Teamspeak

[railshot]

Hi, I am looking for recommendations of a good wireless headset for multiplayer game comms.
My requirements are:
1. Comfortable over long stretches of time (circumnaural)
2. Use PC's sound card. My main reason for this is that during breaks in action, I like to give my ears a rest by taking the headset off and monitoring the comms over PC's speakers. Headsets with built in audio require disconnecting or turning off and switching audio settings in Ventrilo, which is almost not worth the effort.
3. Decent microphone (pref. noise-cancelling)
4. Sound quality is rather a distant 4th. I play EVE online and I don't need surround sound or great quality. But I would not mind it of course.

I tried Logitech G930 for a week and RMAing them today. They fail miserably on points 2 and 3. There is no easy way to switch from headphones to speakers an back. Not only it requires physically unplugging the receiver, but it crashes the sound drivers half the time.
Mic is also pretty bad. Voice activation set to activate to normal level of your voice, also activates to the sound of your breathing or thinking too hard. Playing with settings or positioning does not help.
My budget is below $250.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

There's lots of wireless headphones that can plug into your soundcard, I dunno of any headsets tho. You could try a pair of wireless headphones plus a decent desk mic like a Blue Snowball or Modmic attached to your display...

I gave up on wireless headphones for PC use, the tradeoffs and/or cost just aren't worthy. I use my headphones for a lot more than voice comm tho, but a comfortable pair of open or semi open headphones can be worn all day long without barely noticing them.

What Impulse said. You have to give up quite a bit to get even decent sound quality and even then a much cheaper pair of wired cans can easily beat even the best wireless solution.

I would consider just running long cables and hiding them behind shit with stealth

If u have a laptop. I used to run two instances of vent. One on gaming pc and speakers and wired headphoness and the laptop had a wireless cheapy headset for walking around with.

Thank you for replies everyone. I guess I'll have to settle for wired ones. Any recommendations on the wired ones that would satisfy my requirements? It's not always easy to tell from manufacturer's product description.

Sennheiser makes the best headsets under $200. Build quality, sound quality, etc.

Even with wired headphones/headsets you're usually better off value-wise with a clip on mic on the cable or something like an Antlion Modmic attached to the headphone (I actually just ordered one, but it hasn't arrived so i can't yet compare it to the cheap Zalman mic).

Otherwise, the Sennheiser PC360 seems to be the most popular high end recommendation and it's not too much more than comparable Senn headphones like the HD558/598 (sometimes less actually, tho I dunno if its based around the 558/598 or older 555/595 design).
