Headset Recommendations?

Hello LTT Forum,

 

I was looking for a headset and was wondering if there were any suggestions.

 

What I'm looking for:

 

-Wireless

-$150-200

-built in mic

-big ear cups (I have abnormally large ears)

 

*If you can find a white headset fitting these criteria that would be great for matching my current build but it is not essential.

 

I plan on using this headset for gaming and general music listening.

 

Thanks

 

Ronnie

Would cans with a desktop/clip-on mic be ok for you?

Why wireless?

Normally I don't care whether peripherals are wireless but wired headsets I've had just get in the way and can be annoying. I will spend $150-200 if it means I could do that.

Good Headphones but I would prefer a wireless solution. I'll consider it! :D

Hmmm...To be honest man I dont know what is out there for less than $100 and wireless and a decent quality.

I'd say if you get a coiled cable you won't really have a problem. If you really want a wireless headset then go for the Corsair 2100. Here is the review.

In that case get some DT770's and a Snowball.

I've own the Vengeance 2000 before, the older version of 2100. iMO the wireless feature is amazing, but the bass just overpower everything and you can't hear the mids and treble clearly.

and also the hinges is one of the weak points for the 2000 as it can crack within 6 months of use. This is a huge complain for everyone but i think they fixed it on the 2100.
