Robust headset with mic

[Moromann]

Hi I'm looking for a new headset. I've managed to break 4 headsets over the last 15 months or so, and now I'm looking for something a bit more sturdy, both in terms of build quality and sound quality. My current headset is the Logitech G35, and (before I broke the cable) I felt like it had a very metallic and poor sound. Price range about $200-250. I have looked a bit at the Beyerdynamic DT770, but it doesn't have a mic. I've heard about these so-called modmics, but I'm not sure what's best. Anyone got some good recommendations?

 

- High quality mic and sound

- Robust

- $200-250

I'll be using it at LAN parties and stuff, so I can't have a table mic, but thanks for the advice.

Too expensive. I live in Norway, and the price in US would be like twice my budget already. I'm also not a super enthusiast when it comes to sound quality, I just need something a bit sturdier and with better bass than those cheap gaming headsets.

You'll need to get some sort of headphones then. Whatever's in your price range. You can get a clip on mic from Zalman for roughly $10 USD.

Anyone got any sort of experience with the Sennheiser PC 360 G4ME?

Yeah, I have a pair I'm using (for skype, lol) until I get a standalone mic. 

 

Sounds very good, clear, has a nice overall sound, better than any gaming headset I've tried (Razer Carcharias and Megalodon, Logitech G35, Steelseries Siberia v2, can't think of others)

That looks awfully high quality 

 

and no wires too, wizardry. 

 

 

@Moromann Are you buying from somewhere like Amazon uk? If not where are you buying and what is your budget in your currency.

Back to the peripherals thread with you

I'm buying from a Norwegian retailer, and the budget is 1000-1500 Norwegian Kroner, which equals $200-300. There are some extra costs due to import taxes and other stuff, but I might be able to stretch the budget slightly if necessary. I'm just looking for some good price to performance ratio headsets around the $250 price range, and so far the Sennheiser PC 360 seems like the best option.

http://www.thomann.de/gb/beyerdynamic_dt990pro.htm they also sell the DT770. Will end up at 180 euro/240$ when posted to Norway. Get a Fiio E10 later on if you'd like

Yep, if that's your budget they shouldn't disappoint.

There's literally no other good headset - audio-technica and Beyerdynamic's implementations are too expensive, and other gaming headsets are cheap trash at marked up prices.
