Good gaming headset

[RedLedDude]

Hello people of forum !

I am planning on updating my gaming peripherals and i can't decide on a good headset . 

I want headset in about 200$ price range . I also want it to have fitting looks for rest of my setup (red&black color and red LED lights if possible) . I also have a problem of headphones made of plastic (even good ones) breaking because of big size of my head 

As a point of reference i was thinking on getting Gamdiases Zeus and Ducky shine 3 with red LEDS . 

Thank you for your help and have a nice day .

$50 on mic, $150 on headphones would be a better investment imo.

On the chance you haven't seen these.

GEt ATH m50s or HD 558s with a modmic 4.0, or a blue snowflake mic.

I know that you can get better quality of mic and audio this way , but i don't want to have mic on my table . I prefer it being attached to headphones .

Go for good headphones and get a modmic then. Best of both worlds.

Go for a mod mic then and then check for some sales on decent headphones.

HD558s with foam mod + snowball, modmic or zalman clip on

$150 headphones and the modmic. You cannot do better than that if you live in a country where they sell the modmic.

Problem is apparently i don't . Just checked all trustworthy retailers i know and none of them have modmic or snowflake mic. 

I was thinking siberia elites but i am not sure in quality of those , also none of razers or logitechs headset don't seem to fit rest of the setup (might be i missed some of fitting ones)

Maybe Astro A40's change color to red to see if you like them.

If you must have a headset, then HyperX Cloud is a good "cheap" option. Next step up would be Sennheiser's offerings PC350/G4ME Zero for closed or PC360/G4ME One for open design.

The smart option would be something like Pioneer SE-A1000, Beyerdynamic DT770 or 990, Sennheiser HD518/558 + Zalman ZM-MIC1 as people have said above.

I use a vengeance 2100 myself, 100 bucks, wireless, great comfort and sound quality

[pspfreak]

Whatever you do buy. Do not but the logitech g930. Its a mess of drivers and hardware interaction. The mic sounds like crap. The bass distorts at low volume. Connection issues. My $20 headphones when used with an amp sound great if not better

This is what I have and it works well. (HD558 + Zalman/Sowball) I have heard great things about the mod mic.

What puts me off on the modmic posts is the second wire that runs down how do you guys solve this? Maybe it is just me but I see myself being annoyed as hell with that "cable web" mess running down on my chest, desk everywhere.

[babbaj]

anything but logitech 

[Kryptyx]

It's a little pricey but i love my SteelSeries H Wireless. Linus did a good review on it and he liked the audio quality. Wireless is very convenient.

Zip ties? Twisty ties? Cable sleeve?

Got the same headset but then the QPad version of it. Great headset, good sound, mic is a bit less (gotta tweak it a bit with your soundcard) but all-in-all a great headset.
