Looking for headphones/mic

Recently got a bit of money and was looking for some new headphones and a mic. I already have some Shure SE425's so the headphones won't be getting used for much music listening. Just gaming and movie/yt/twitch watching. Before I was looking at a pair of ATH-M50's or Custom one pro's with an AT2020 but that is a bit to expensive, especially in Australian prices.  The mic will be used for light skype usage and maybe end up being used for growling vocals (maybe).  I want a good pair of headphones. I just got rid of a pair of DT880's that I borrowed so I would like decent sound quality.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Links to Aus sites would be nice if possible, but I'm happy to ship from North America/Europe

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

I don't know where to look up prices for Oz, but the Samson CO1U and CAD U37 are priced close to the Blue Snowball iCE on Amazon.co.uk (I just assume it's got to be similar elsewhere).

 

Shure's SRH440 also seems to be well-priced everywhere, but if you want something cheaper I'd take a look at what Superlux has to offer locally.

Check out the Superlux HD668B's or Superlux HD661's.  Very popular and incredible headphones that are surprisingly inexpensive.  Pair them with a microphone and you are good to go.
