Headset Halp

So I would like to get a headset for my new pc for Christmas.  But being busy with school I haven't had adequate time to research headphones (I usually spend 2 months researching before I buy something for my pc).  I was wondering if you guys could point out a few different headsets for me so I could narrow down my search.

 

Requirements

- Music Listening

- Youtube Watching

- Preferably wired (maybe a wired option and a wireless option)

-  Skype

- I will most likely get a separate mic so no mic or at least a removable one

- Playing Games

- Two Focuses: Comfort and Sound quality (looks don't matter)  (much) :P  :P  :P

- Maybe even listening to white noise when doing homework in a loud area.

- No specific brands.

 

 

Thanks Guys.- Daniel

 

Edit: forgot to add price (200 USD or lower)

Assuming closed because of "doing homework in a a loud area".

 

I would take a look at the AKG K553 or DT770 Pro/Custom One Pro Plus. The Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 is very close to $200 right now, which is not a bad value.

The "doing homework in a loud area" isn't as important because it doesn't come up occasionally but I just wanted to cover all my basis's.  Thanks for the suggestions

They're overpriced and number of people here have reviewed them badly.
