Sennheiser Game One
Headphones themselves are HD598s, the Mic quality is pretty damn good and you get a volume control wheel on the right headphone.
Might be more expensive than good headphones and a seperate Mic by a bit, but I don't mind paying a bit extra for the convenience of one wire and the volume control. Pain in the ass to have to alt tab or go through menus to lower the volume when I can just do it immediately.
Got them brand new for only $140ish.
>>343448131
I hate how gaymer the design looks. Otherwise I'd seriously consider it.

99% of decent headphones with a microphone attached are marketed as "Gaming headsets".

Just put some decent mic together with a pair of headphones.

Mods, bro. Just removed the locking mechanism and silver ring to use a Nokia 2.5mm-to-3.5mm adapter.
I also did the foam mod and gave it Brainwavz velour pads while I was at it. The comfiest fucking shit, I swear.

They come in regular black as well.
If you can find them though, the PC360 might be more up your alley. They're discontinued now but they don't look so showy.
>>343448442
I am a bit turned off about getting the HD558 and then take out the foam and do the jack mod. Currently debating with myself if I should get the Wooz made Fidelio X2 cause that thing has detachable 3.5mm jack.
Good to know that we can actually use the Brainwavz velour pads with it. I head decent things about the Brainwavz pads.
these do the job

So you don't really listen to music?

There are plenty of adapters on amazon that can handle it. Back when I had an HD558 I missed this most of all.
Here are some examples though.

K240's
These are pretty ideal for me just because they're so light without compromising sound, most headphones I've gotten crush down on my head too much since I wear these damn near all the time when I'm not working.
>>343449164
Who doesn't listen to music? Everyone knows headsets are bad for listening to music.

If you've got the money, I'd say go for it. Haven't used a pair myself, but reviews and impressions point to it being worth the extra money over something like a 558.
>Good to know that we can actually use the Brainwavz velour pads with it
They're not natively compatible. I've seen one guy with his 598s stretch them over the whole driver case, I think someone else ripped the friction ring off the stock pads and stick them to the Brainwavz, and some people just glue them directly on. I'm using these 3D printed adapters:

>I head decent things about the Brainwavz pads.
I used the non-angled pleather with my HD 280 Pros before this. Both versions are soft as fuck. Guaranteed comfort upgrade on almost any sub-$400 headphone you can slap them on.
it was on clearance at Wal-mart, get off my dick
>>343449643
Well? Do they suck?
>>343449696
Not that guy but they are amazing. Great sound, surround sound, and noise cancellation.
My new headphones dont compare at all
>>343447420
>>343447420
G935's is great for under $100CND.
They're incredibly convenient simple to use and set up and are have a good mic and sound quality. Also the Emulated surround sound is great. Or you could fuck around trying to get and a separate head set mic combo for a little less.
Just got these, not bad for the price, just wish they cancelled out sound better.
>>343449283
I dont listen to music. "music people" are the worst, so autistic and elitist. The only reason people listen to that shit is to show off their "superior taste" to other to seem cool
I hear people mentioning sound cancellation. How do people feel about the headsets that enhance sound around you so you can hear yourself and stuff around you?

The fuck is with you? Do you really think we are /hpg/ autists? You unironically would be fine with the likes of Beats studio (if you get them on a discount) and put a mic and you have a pretty good headset right there.
>>343450272
I bought them mostly for music listening, but they work pretty well with games.
>>343450423

>>343450627
People discussing music does not been they are showing off there taste. The reason why people listen to obscure music is because they enjoy it more than other genres.
>tfw your head is big

These were on sale when I bought them.
>>343450850
>>tfw broke several headsets just getting them on my head
>>343450849
If someone really cared about and liked music theory they wouldn't have elitist and specific obscure tastes.
They could just go to spotify and randomly select music to enjoy it all. But the fact that there are people who make collages of their taste in music to show off and belittle others just reveals how big of a fraud the whole process is.
>>343450850
>tfw it fits on your head but it looks so stretched out you look retarded

>>343447420
Those aren't stock 558 earpads, are they?
>>343450627
>they care about their image.
This has some truth to it, it's the reason why Beats are so popular in spite of being overpriced.
>No one cares about music
This, on the other hand, is pure autism. Look, Pete, no one else cares that your ears are so fucking trash that you can't enjoy great music on a quality pair of headphones. The rest of care. We care a lot. And we care because we actually do get quite a lot out of it. To varying degrees, of course, most of us don't have ears good enough to make high-quality amps and $500 cans worth it, but there is a standard, and no one else cares that you fall well short of it.

>If someone really liked art and art theory they wouldn't have elitist and specific obscure tastes
>They could just go to an art gallery and look at black cocks all day. But the fact that there are people who make collages of their taste in art to show off and belittle others just reveals how big of a fraud the whole process is.
>>343451095
No, if someone really cared about and liked music theory they would be able to find out what music works for them, and what genres they enjoy.
>>343451136
I actually grew my hair out when I listened to metal more, I still keep it but not that long. That was back in high school when I was the only one listening to anything that isn't pop/rap in class, and in uni I have one dude who's 30 and has longer hair than me, a beard and overally looks like a fucking dwarf and he has several tattoos. We often go for a beer.
>>343451095
>If someone really cared about and liked music theory they wouldn't have elitist and specific obscure tastes
no, they listen to obscure, jazz w/e because they know too much and can't stand the basic shit being pushed out by the industry.
>>343451271
nvm fixed it
The only reason I use a gayman headset is because I got this for free off a twitch stream. The surround sound is a pile of horse shit the likes of which my ears had never before experienced and there's still an audible hiss when the mic is on which astro denies to this day.
>>343450841
Mein negger. Got the red and black one tho.
Probably one of the only good "gaming headsets" that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Mic is nothing special, but the audio quality is pretty good even if just a motherboard amp.
>>343450830
Don't get the original Beats studio at that. 2.0 wireless is a lot better than the old pair, but still overpriced. $200 for a pair if you can get it at that price isn't that horrible of a deal.
>>343448493
I have one of these.
I really wish Sony had made an external, detachable, headset mic for it because it's its only real flaw to be honest.
The microphone picks up literally EVERYTHING around you. Like someone moving upstairs? Everyone can hear that: you, the players on your team, the opponents, the other players in the servers surrounding the one in the list your currently in, Grandma on skype. Everyone.
I use cheap headsets now because I have a habit of breaking them every few months.
>tfw you often keep your headsets only on one ear to hear if anything happens in the house in case some shit goes down
I'm paranoid but I can't do shit about it. Also my headphones break because they twist too much after some time from being only on my right ear
>>343450239
can anyone answer this?
>>343451271
Nope. Non-angled Brainwavz Velour.
>>343451535
and you could probably still do better at that price.
>>343451567
I'd go for V-moda phones if you are very rough on your headphones. Their cans use steel frame and they easily survive from being stepped on.
>>343448420
and they're all shit
buy some nice cans and stick on a mod-mic or a zalman

I'll have a look, thanks.
I'm fed up with cheap ones but I can't justify spending the money on expensive ones when I brake them constantly.
>>343451884
Sometimes when using a mic it can be hard to hear yourself over the sound, so you don't know how loud your being. Also why would you not be worried about what's going on around you?
>>343450072
>>343450976
>the shape of those fucking earpads

these headphones are super comfy, and weren't too expensive
my microphone is the mic that came w/ the original bundle for rock band for the 360, I have it held in a cup I made in pottery class from wayyy back in elementary school
it gets the job done
>>343452043

just get open back cans, they don't block as much sound and are generally much better if you don't plan on using them in public.

>>343452430
There is nothing wrong with corsair
>>343452404
well it doesn't really enhance it, just let's sound come through the mic a bit, at least I think that's how it works. just makes things a bit easier to hear since they cover your ears completely.
>>343452504
>CS:GO

So what do you prefer autist?
>>343452612
Yeah that's just open backs, got a little confused about that enhancing. Also I don't think those uncharted headphones are open back.

their headsets are garbage just like most GAMER headsets, they make decent PSUs and coolers though
I like them. They're really comfy too.
>>343452662
>X2
Do the pads get hot and did you notice pads dye staining at all?
How do you like the sound btw for music and gaming? Is it pretty good when it comes to positional audio?
>>343452445
They are very good. The sound quality is up there with mid range headphones around the same price, espcially when plugged into a DAC, so they are good for music as well. The USB converter thing that it comes with is a cheap plastic waste of time and the build quality isn't the best if you're rough with them, but they are repairable. (had to fix the arm of one side due to sleeping in them). The mic is annoyingly monodirectional and will only pick up what it's directly pointed it. It's not practical for a clip on mic because it's hard to get it pointed at your mouth all the time. Would recommend them but get a desktop mic if you want to talk to people.
>>343452803
Is it autistic to want to hear all the different instruments in a musical production clearly? I don't understand this meme.

>>343452803
Feenix Aria guy here. I want to put my two cents into this. You know how people who are slightly blind don't realise how much detail they are missing until they get laser surgery or whatever, same shit with good headphones. I used to use Logictech G930's with 7.1 surround sound, I can't listen to them anymore because they sound terrible. You can use what you want but calling people elitist just because they want to hear things clearly is like calling someone who gets eye surgery elitist because they want to see clearly.
>>343453246
And games don't have music in them? Video game companies spend a lot of money on sound design. Wanting to experience all the money they sank into that is a bad thing?
>>343452927
No problems with heat and I haven't had the dye problem either. I mostly listen to metal and electronic music and have found them great for both, but I don't have any headphones in the same category to compare them against. Positioning is great as you'd expect from open headphones in this price range. All around I've been very happy with them.

>>343453837
Technology is expensive bro. If you want good gear you need to fork out extra money. I went overboard but you can get cheaper alternatives that sound better than gaming headsets. Gaming anything is always marked up in price for some reason.
>>343454137
Used to have a problem like this. Used older, more stable drivers. Don't know if it would work for Win 10 though. Never upgraded.
Picked up these this week. They're alright. I knew going in they weren't going to be top notch gear, but they get the job done, and they were $40 instead of the regular $80, which is stunningly cheap for a gaming headset.

I've worn those Plantronics, they're fucking horrid. Just the most uncomfortable thing you can put on your head. They're not big enough to be properly circumaural, and yet they're not designed to be supra-aural, so hey don't sit comfortably one way or another, they just crushed some part of my ears no matter how I placed them, and it made using them more than a half hour at a time a miserable experience. An oval shaped pad of the same relative size would have been fifty times more comfortable, because it's a much more natural match to the human ear. Those boxes are retarded.
The pads are stiff and the material they're covered in is cheap and feels awful on the skin too, and pads are too thin so that whatever parts of my ear weren't being crushed by the pads were pressed up against the plastic of the driver housing.
Just a negative wear all-around.
>>343457263
Hah, I guess I asked for that. I meant what headphones were they before being rebranded.
>>343457721
