Noise Isolation Gaming headset

[Ataxia]

Hiya folks

I need help finding a headset or headphones and separate Mic, that could be used in a noisy environment i.e. Living room with the wife and TV nearby, and I really don't want to have to listen to the insane jabbering on Love Island any more.
I currently have a set of HyperX cloud revolver S and the sound from them is great and the wife cannot hear anything I am listening to but...I can hear everything that happens in the room.

I desperately need a set of headphones to work on a PC that will isolate me from all the noise around me. 
It is mainly for gaming and watch videos, so a decent surround sound would be good.

My budget is around £160 and I am in the Uk.

I have tried the Logitech G935s since I have previously had the G930s, But the G935s basically blocked no noise in either direction.

I am looking more towards noise isolating headphones since noise cancelling doesn't get rid of high pitched voices well I have read

Thanks in advance

Someone suggested the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X how does that compare?

Also sorry can you suggest a good cheap mic to go with it please?

[rice guru]

M50x has no soundstage barely any separation and no imaging while the 770 has great imaging a surprisingly wide sound stage with shimmering highs and a strong low end.33 ohm if you plan on using it mobile, 80 ohm if your on your PC but don't have an amp. If you have an amp grab the 250 ohm. A good cheap mic to go with it is the blue snowball, or a antlion modmic. A modmic might be better if your in a noisy environment as the snowball will pick up everything

Thanks for the reply again

 

A couple of questions more if I may...

 

Whats the difference between the 80 ohm studio and the plain 80 ohm ones?

 

How good are modern headphones with noise cancellation at blocking noise like TVs and voices or would I be better off looking for noise isolation still?

[rice guru]

Noise cancellation is pretty bad for inconsistent noises for things like tvs or people talking and is more suited to consistent sounds like a rumble of an airplane engine. As the headphones will pick up the inconstant noise and will try to compensate for it making what your listening to inconsistent. They are also often Bluetooth and Bluetooth headphones suck for Windows and gaming and as standalone wired heady

Nice one thank you very much for all your help

OK I bought the Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohms and I must say that I have never been so disappointed with a headset or headphone as much.

 

The say they are noise Isolating but they are not, with the headphones on it is EXACTLY the same as having them off. Do not buy these if you want sound isolation in any shape or form. They leak sound like crazy and have been a complete waste of money.

All I can say is thank goodness for Amazons refund policy!

 

Any other suggestions please?
