Deciding between 3 headphones.

Hi eveyone.

I am in need of new headphones, but I am struggling between which one I should get. Mic quality is definitely a priority for me.

Could I get the HyperX Cloud and remove the mic and add a ModMic?

HD518s and a Blue Snowflake would be better than all of those for around 30$ more if you buy new from amazon

I don't like the space the Snowflake takes up so I want to stick with a headset.

The snowflake is really small though....Fits in the palm of an average sized hand.

The entire point of getting the HyperX is that you must have a headset and you're not willing to go headphone + modmic. If you're willing to get a modmic there's no point in getting a headset.

I just really like the easy acess of a headset mic and plus I need a low sensitivity mic near my mouth since my house is loud and an air conditioner is right above me.

That'd be silly

Being that the ModMic is around $50, is there a really good $60 headphone you would recommend?
