uk Suggestions on Wired Headset/Headphones w/Third-Party Attachable Mic

Melonize · December 8, 2018

Hello all. I've looking around for a new wired headset or headphones with a third-party attachable mic like the V-MODA BoomPro. The price range is up to £100. Suggestions greater than £100 can be considered, but since I am not the only one paying for it, it would be very unlikely that we would go for that headphone/headset if the price differs greatly from £100. The budget must include the price of any additional items suggested and based upon UK prices - we will be most likely be going for Amazon.co.uk so that we can try a variety of headphones/headsets and take advantage of their return policy. The main purpose of these headphones/headsets will be gaming on games where voice communication will be reasonably important (Arma 3 via TS3), but not for professional purposes like streaming/recording. Particular features of interest are:

over-ear, open or closed (suggestions on both would be nice);
stereo sound output (couldn't really care about surround sound, virtual or not);
wired, preferably with a cable that can be detached from the headphones if I am using something like the V-MODA BoomPro;
reasonably clear microphone (able to pick up a somewhat-deep soft-spoken voice) that doesn't pick up too much background noise (there is a lot of background noise);
microphone must be attached to the headphones since there are not many good places to mount a boom arm or place a stand.

I realise that the fourth bullet point might be a difficult task to achieve, so it is preferred to not pick up too much background noise over worrying about slight muffling.

Many thanks,

Melonize.
