Earphones: Normally smaller and more portable, these go with ipods and like.
Headphones: Over-the-ear speakers.
Headset: Headphones with essentially a microphone attached to them, used for gaming.
Now please tell me you were joking?

Well, I have done that before, and those broke as well! I'd like something much more comfortable as well.

Again??? 
Seriously, save up ~£15 more and buy one headset that will last for years. You will actually save money since you won't but any more headsets -.-

Great for gaming and music, detachable mic, comfortable, custom audio settings, don't break easily, USB, noise cancelling mic (we won't hear your mum anymore while playing a PUG) and moar.
This isn't the newest model or anything so you should be able to find a store that sells them for ~£65 if you care to search (I bought mine for 70euros, and I live in Finland so that's a sick deal imo). I don't remember how long does the warranty last for but it's at least a year and a half (2 or 3 years).
If you break your headphones by riding over the cable with your chair's wheels then this model has a ++thick cable just for that. The headset has an actual metal core so you can throw it around and it won't really break. It's light and fits even my huge head.
And stop being a cheapass froob.

Creative fatality headset
been using these babiez for years, only £25 but epic quality, does not break very easy at all but I managed to break quite a lot of sets of them but I always get the same ones again

I like these because they don't mess up my hair.

I've heard good things about the Corsair HS1.

I suddenly like you much more.
I was actually looking at these, they look pretty good. Sadly though, I'd want those 3.5 mm jacks, and those variants actually cost £5 more.
What's the sound quality like?

I'm not an audiophile, so I can't really judge that in depth. I've never had any issues with them, though.
They do have some durability issues, they generally last about a year and a half to two years for me, I'm on pair 3.
Also, apparently they're uncomfortable to get used to. I don't remember that since I got my first pair about 5 years ago.

This one is a bit more expensive but will last for more then 2 years.

yeah ! spend all your money on shitty ass brand name headsets !
My brother was also this stoopid , he got me some £60 turtle beach headset once because of all the hype around them and ppl like u
they turned out to be total wank, they really were just ugly, uncomfortable, bad quality and annoying (the wire was like 1000 meters long lol)
my fatality ones though,, even visually you can see its good for aesthetics and comfort and then once you buy you will discover how good the quality/durability is
and wat more do u want from a headset really

Am a little bit put off by razer as I hear many stories about quality issues etc.

My razer products are just fine, there is always the issue of how you use it.
