New Headset Recommendations Please!

Hey,

 

I'm looking to buy a new headset and would like your help. I currently/was using the Logitech G930 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104399&leaderboard=1) but they have been having problems and would love to know if there is a great headset out that yall would recommend.

 

I'm looking for something under ~$130, and would be using it primarily for listening to music/movies, as well as some voice chat. 3.5mm or USB are both fine. Microphone is preferable, but listening quality is more important.

Oh, and I don't want to be "that guy", but some decent bass would be nice too. :)

 

These are the ones I was looking into; what do you think is a good choice? Other options very much appreciated!

At that price point the HyperX Cloud is the best by far :)

If audio quality is most important then getting a set of headphones + mic will be your best bet. Do you prefer open/closed and bass heavy/light/neutral?

As for open/closed, I would say I don't have a huge preference, but comfort with glasses would be a big plus.

For bass, I'd say heavy but controllable.

 

Thanks!

I have glasses and open/closed shouldn't make a difference but on ear and off ear makes a HUGE difference. On ear pushes on your ear so off ear is much more comfortable.

If you can spare the extra money then I think http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0011UB9CQ/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8&condition=refurbished is a very good set of headphones, otherwise

would be good choices, I prefer open over closed but the open headphones have less powerful bass

If you can find some id recommend

I have had these for a while now, the sound is amazing when I was just using on board sound card(only got better with a sound card.) they are nice and light causing me to sometimes forget about them all together. One down side is it will take a while for the ear cups to get used to a pair of glasses but once they do you won't notice it.
