Opinion on headset

I'm planning on buying the ASUS Orion Pro or the Vulcan Pro but I don't know which one I should get...

I like the Vulcan Pro mre because I know for sure that it's over-ear and I like over-ear headsets over on-ears...

Who can help me out? I appreciate it!

In most cases over ear sounds better than on ear. But that's just my experience.

Thanks but no thanks, I would like to have a nice-looking headset (micro attached to earphones) ;)

Meh if you must....

The ASUS Orion Pro is over ear also, but not if you have large ears.

Nuu not the AKG's, I've had the internal wiring for the XLR connection break in under a month. I would go Aud. Tech. first.

If you're set on either of those two and cannot be convinced otherwise, DEFINITELY go for the around ear one. On ear headsets are not suited for long gaming sessions.
