I've been pleased as can be with my pair of these: Logitech G930

Stock price is still up in the ouch range (for my budget, at least), but they routinely appear on Amazon at a significant discount. A quick search right now shows a brand-new pair, Prime eligible, for $104.

The wireless part is not necessary for my usage patterns but is damned convenient when I want to get up and wander to the fridge for a drink. I use them primarily for gaming but I also use them for business calls (via Google Voice), Skyping with friends, and just listening to the tunes.

I too possess corrosive alien sweat and these have held up for just shy of two years for me now, and no sign of deterioration on the pads, with daily heavy use. Bit of a funky smell developed at one point (for obvious reasons), but a wet-wipe scrubbed over the surfaces then left tucked into the earpieces overnight took care of it.

Logitech, following their trend of giving the finger to customers in little ways while making pretty good stuff, doesn't sell replacement parts, but apparently Mad Catz does and I've found a couple other third-party vendors who sell replacement bits, really cheap.

(I haven't needed to actually buy any replacement parts yet, but I was looking just in case. The thing comes with a 3-year warranty, so I'm good for a bit yet.)
