Good mic and headset?

So I am thinking of upgrading from my headset this christmas but I need some options. I am open to getting out of the gaming thype headsets since I have seen other ones work just as well for gaming and better everywhere else. My max budget is 150-200 but the cheaper the better. I would prefer wireless but I assume that wired will have better quality. Do modmics have a wireless version?

Personally I like Sennheiser's G4me One's, very comperable to the HD500 series of headphones with a very good mic

 

Currently $180 on amazon

USD, should've specified

The Sennheiser PC37X is on Massdrop for $120, and is quite good value. 2 hours left, if you want it.

The ATH-AD700X costs $100, and is essentially the same headset as the $300 ATH-ADG1X, I think. Just attach a Modmic or another mic. 

I don't know of good wireless options, but the G933 got decent reviews of it, $100 currently

:)

A more flexible option, that you could also use on the go would be getting Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones ($100 for refurb. or $150 for a new pair) and then get a ModMic (5.0 for $70 or 4.0 for $50). Just don't get the 4.0 with a mute switch cause the mute switch can wear out quite fast if you use it a lot. This is what I've been using for a headset and on the go headphones for 3 years now.

 

Main rig:

• Ryzen 3600X • X370 Killer SLI • 16GB Corsair LPX 3200Mhz • Strix 1070ti • Define R5 • SuperNova 750 G2 • Evo 1TB + X300 4TB •

Secondary rig:

• Acer prebuilt • Rzyen 1700X (upgraded) • OEM 1060 3GB • 256GB SSD + 1TB Seagate (upgraded) •
