All information is appreciated ~ So straight to the point, headset(s). I'd like to know if anyone can help out and suggest the best[not on a budget] of the best gaming headset, I don't mind if it's heavy, pricey, tight compression, the cup types, I want the best, one thing don't like wireless, I'm not sure if I'm posting all this correctly so bare with me. All information is appreciated really, thanks in advance :).

Okay I see I should've put some type of budget, say 500$ tops not going for the most expensive just the best(can't describe it any further besides the best lol) 6 replies as I'm reading this though thank you all and many more if to come.

a budget is by far the most usefull thing you could give us, or else we could just suggest something like the Sennheiser Orpheus (tens of thousands of dollars) (although i don't think that would actually work)

Hyper X Clouds are pretty decent under $100, however beyond that it's usually be better just to get separate mic and headphones. 

 

We have a page of recommended headphones

A mod mic or stand-alone mic from Audio Tecnica/Blue/Rode would suffice.

That's perfect, thanks.
