Hi there...
so I was looking to buy some headphones for gaming, but I really have no idea which. I looked at around 100 results (Just a vague estimate. I was scrolling through pages for an hour or so .-.) and I have noooo idea which set to buy.
I really don't care about the sound quality, as long as it's not horrible. I was also hoping to get one with a microphone.
I have a max spending limit of 15$ for the item itself (I know, it's not a lot, but if I had more then I'd just buy several sets of earbuds)

I generally use earbuds, but the microphone on my computer is far away, so I get a lotta background noise, and I keep losing the things that come on earbuds (Go google images and look at earbuds, a lot of them have that soft plastic thingy that falls off.) I've lost around 3 sets of those in the past two weeks, and I'm about to run out of them, so... Headphones would be better >.< (I don't generally lose them, but I've been getting in and out of cars a lot recently, and they keep getting caught on my knees since I'm too dang tall for the seat.)

Anyways.
TL;DR?
I'd like a set of headphones for $15 or less (I can go over a little, but would prefer not to) that has decent sound quality (Not really good, although I won't complain if it is;)), a microphone that is decent (I just really dislike the background noise I get, dunno if having a closer mic will fix that) and that my gaming buddies won't yell "MOOCLAN TELL YO' FAMILY TO SHUT UP"

Any recommendations?

EDIT: I'd prefer something that I can wear for a few hours at a time, and possibly while walking around or something. I wear earbuds for around 6 hours a day when I'm not home, and up to 10 when I am. Preferably nothing bulky unless it's really amazing and not too heavy. Also, anything stylish is a plus ;)

A decent headset for 15$ is pretty hard to find, new anyways. You should save up a bit more.

You can buy a PS3 headset for 20-30$. Since it's USB, you can use it on your computer.

Well, I am able to spend more, but I also have monthly payments for my private server, so I gotta make sure I don't accidentally spend tooo much.

I use the Logitech h110, it's $10 and its been completely satisfactory so far. No real problems whatsoever.

You can't really get much for that price.
PRO TIP: Stay away from Skull Candy.
