So...I am looking for a new headset.

Few of them caught my eye, which are following:

My question is which one of them has the best sound quality, which one of them is most comfortable, which one of them has best ratio of Paid-Get,are they as good for music like they are for games and do you have any more good suggestions( Considering I wouldn't spend over 180$ on headphones).

Thank you for your respond!!!

The way I see it, you have 2 choices, actually:

 

- Keep opening threads that's essentially the same as http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/169586-headphones-please-help/
- Go with the best answer there, and get the 558, and call it a day

 

If the 558 is too pricey for you (which you actually put it there yourself as one of the options in the first place), go with the 518. They use the same driver, but costs almost half of the 558 (on amazon.co.uk)

 

If that's still too pricey, then tell us an actual budget, and let's work from there.

I suggest you get a pair of headphones and a dedicated mic. If you still want a headset, get this one, much better that the ones you suggest. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-Headset-KHX-H3CL-WR/dp/B00JJNQG98/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403452022&sr=8-1&keywords=kingston+hyperx+cloud

Considering I would need some kind of "not crappy" mic they are too pricey for my budget. +they have impedance of 80 ohms so I think I would need headphone amplifier to get the best out of them. If you have any other suggestions I would be glad to hear them. And thanks for your help!

80 ohm impedance is pretty low. You won't need an amp. Also a $10 Zalman clip on mic is like the same quality as any of those crappy headsets. Something better would be a modmic or blue snowball.

I thaught about headphones with modmic 4.0 but if you scroll up you will see my explanation why I left that idea basically I live in EU hd558 are in my budget in us but not in eu

Well stuff in the EU is pretty much always more expensive because of import taxes and you guys earn more anyway. But if you need something cheaper then try to find Qpad QH85. Those are the only good pair of headset I can reommcend. The QH90 is closed if you want that instead.

Thanks but since what you recommended gaming headset I think I will go with Kingston hyperx cloud. But I'll wait a bit more and see other options.

The Kingston headset is just a rebrand of the Qpad QH90. It's the exact same thing. The Qpad is usually cheaper in the EU which is why I recommended it.
