More long-term, mic focused headset?

Hello people, and (I wish) Linus

I have watched many, many of your videos on just about every topic you've put out. I really enjoyed the idea of the Steelseries Siberia Elite headset, as well as enjoying the comfort of the Razer Kracken 7.1 headset, no matter how crappy I think Razer is most of the time. I recently started working a tech support job from home, which I need to use a headset for. I have a few headsets, but something I'm really specific about is how good my microphone quality is. I've actually been using a cheap studio microphone for class and such, because I can't stand wearing the headsets I own for more than an hour or so. I'm looking to get a light, slim headset with a very low profile microphone for my job, and there doesn't seem to be nearly any reviews for this type of thing. The only kind I can find that I like are $400 Sennheiser ones, and I was looking for something a little bit more wallet friendly. I would settle for something larger and heavier, if it had the microphone quality I'm looking for, which is why I was considering the Siberia Elites. I just need something with superior microphone quality and that I can wear for 8 or more hours a day without murdering my head the way the Turtle Beach X12s do, or squish my ears the way my company provided Logitech H390s do. I'm open to suggestions, so long as they're not too expensive (Steelseries Siberia Elites were nearing my price limit for such things) I will look them up and take them into consideration. Thank you for your time, to anybody reading this, and I would really like someone professional to do a video or series on these things.

If I recall, the new headset from audio-technica, the ATH-ADG1, seems to have a lot of praise for its microphone (for a headset though). You also get the renowned great sound quality from the company as well as the comfort. The mod mic alao seems to be more popular every time i hear about it, you can check it out
