Had my Hyper X Cloud II's for a year now, very reliable and good quality mic etc. A lot of pros in each game swear by them, pretty insane if you ask me and for a decent price.
For the sake of humanity wiki I think the world can go on without you having a microphone.
But as suggested above, get the blue snowball if you want a good standalone mic. I alternate between the blue snowball and the bee excellent headset mic.
