Another good option for headset is the Razer Carcharias http://reviews.cnet.co.uk/headphones/raz...-49301542/ and at around £70 is a lot cheaper than the Sennheiser PC-360 or Astro A40 and seems to be considered to sound better than the A40 as well.
Or you could get the Samson SR-850 for around £30 and the Modmic http://www.modmic.com/ for another £30 and have a killer set of headphones and mic (probably both better than either of the above options, although the PC-360 might be close or equal) for around £60
The only downside of the Modmic might be that it doesn't have a mute switch (they're planning a version with one) and there might be a shipping delay as it's a small company making them (they're meant to be getting stock in Friday). International shipping is 12USD (and there might be Customs fees of course) but if your parents can get it for you whilst they're in the US, shipping is only 4-9USD, depending on how fast they need it delivered.
