microphone\headphone combo

[Rpkiller]

what should i microphone and headphone combo should i get for gaming? (i'm not looking for headsets)

 

100-300 dollar range

a budget would be nice to know.

 

or at least a rough idea of what you're looking to spend.

Maybe a Blue Yeti and some audiphile grade headphones like something from sennheiser or audiotechnica. If it fits in your budget, both could be quite expensive. But that would probably give you one of the best experiences.

well they are going to go with a $3000 pc, so i dont want to spend more than $3500 on all of it.

Why not the Hyper X Cloud's or Cloud 2's? Also, if you really like a pair of headphones,slap a modmic on it!

This is what I use right now and the microphone quality is just a little less than a blue yetti... but a lot cheaper.

 

A Superlux HD668B for the headphones and the Sony ECMCS3 for a mic... total of $60 and they are WAY better than the hyperx cloud 2's because I have that as well so I would know... 

 

Both of those can be found on amazon and I can post links if you would like me to.

AKG K612 Pro for the headphone. AT2500 microphone. Possibly a small amp or soundcard for the headphone if it doesn't get loud enough.

also 2.0 vs 5.1 vs 7.1? which is better?
