I have a pair of Sennheiser HD558 with Antlions Mod Mic 4.0 and a Xonar DG audio card. Great combo for me. I have had most of Razers headsets as well as Corsairs but the open back HDs are amazing and have a great sound when paired with a card with some power. Sometimes the whole virtual surround thing can get in the way of listening experience and I never really notice much of an edge over just getting a good pair of HIFI cans and driving them better with an audio card.

Don't get a headset, get a pair of headphones and a modmic instead, it will be significantly better than any headset out there.

I have not regretted my decision yet. Only thing i regret is buying everything else over the years. Modmic 4.0 sounds like butter dripping over pancakes. Its honestly the first thing people talk about in chats and games now. You sound like you are in the room with them. This is over an audio card though. Even on my ROG Hero board its still has feedback that the Audio card eliminates.

HyperX Cloud, don't get a soundcard.

360 and 363D and G4me One are the same as the HD500 series with a mic slapped on. If you're willing to pay the premium for the integrated mic, there are worse options.
