^ this, gamer headsets are garbage

Headphones with a modmic or a seperate desk mic. Or, if you want a headset, the hyperx clouds are decent.

Beyerdynamic mmx 300. Best headset I've used by far. Great sound quality and great mic quality. Despite being a headset there's no real big compromises.

Lcd-2 for instumental jazz. The midrange is just so lush and warm, the bass rumble is amazing but not overpowering and the sense of openess is great.

Se846 for a warm IEM on the go, good sensr of depth in the music and with the balanced filter very enjoyable for any genre.

Grado rs1/rs2 for accoustic. Lean bass but it has a very nice sub bass extension. Vocal is very forward along with the treble. If you've heard chinese accoustic music, you'll understand why i like to have this headphone for it.

Headphone + mic = headset

He means usually people recommend m50x earlier. They're a terribly overpriced headphone but there's a lot of hype around them. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
