If you don't care to have a mic then sennheiser HD-25. They WILL not break and if they do you can replace the part.

Those plantronics and razors are pieces of shit compared to these.

I've worked in audio for 15 years and I'm very anal about headphones. Maybe I'm not the best to ask for advice on this on second thought heheh.

Edit: what I meant by that is I need great fidelity in a noisy environment.

$600 for headphones?

Do they come with handjobs for life?

A midget to serve you beer?

$4000-6000 (*IF* you can find them)

Dude, he wants a headset, not a pro audio personal monitor.. Honestly, around the $300 price point, sennheisers are shit compared to sony monitors, hd25 are not orpheus man - u suggesting he spend $800+ on a set of headphones that he has to buy an outboard mic for too? Lol.. ..give me a good old set of MDR 7506 over some sennheiser overpriced crap any day, and if you REALLY want the dopeness, get the 7509HD, or wait for the 7520. Also, you can repair and replace parts on the razer, most of the set is fastened with actual screws, not molded plastic.. I've worked in audio a lot too, and as you notice in my post i rate these below pro monitors, but seriously, if you call them shit, you're ignorant, because they are not shit, they are high quality for the price. Nobody is saying they are for pro audio dude, but that's NOT what this thread is about. Sorry to come off like a dick, but you obviously have no idea what you're talking about, trashing what I said. Look, I KNOW what you're talking about as far as normal headsets (like plantronics, and perhaps other razer models) but the Carcharias is a dope buy for 1.) decent quality audio, EXCELLENT audio for the price 2.) comfort 3.) useability 4.) overall quality of voice comms. Word to ya mama.

I called them shit because you will be replacing them in a few years time. Mark my fucking words. I would also argue that altec, razor, etc are overpriced as well. The 50-100 market is full of overpriced shit.

And they are not $300, or $800 (I don't know where you were going with that). They cost me, from partsexpress, $194 shipped.

Also, I'm not expecting him to do anything. i thought that maybe he did not know that there are outside options to what I consider the over-priced PC headset market. I'm pretty sure he stipulated that he wanted opinions.

HD25's are considered entry level pro-audio monitors. I use them for everything. They are simply badass general purpose headphones, imo.

Buy them or don't. I don't give a fuck. Argue which are better, I don't give a fuck.

I know you want a headset, but if you really want to listen to quality music, AND be able to talk, you should buy some good headphones and one of the mics that you can clip onto the headphone wire.

At this point there is no such thing as wireless headphones that live up to the audio quality of wired phones. Many people like earbuds, but personally for me nothing can give the same feel as a nice semi-open set of OTEs.

BeyerDynamic 770s/880s/990s depending on if you prefer closed, semi-open, or open design are right at the top of bang for your buck audio quality. Being a studio engineer I don't enjoy listening to anything that doesn't have fantastic quality, so it's worth the extra coin to me. (got mine for 264 for a pair of the 880s (semi-opens))

I use my Logitech mic and it works just fine, on my laptop I just use the built in mic and it works just fine. But if you really want a quality mic to go with it, there are some pretty good quality 'clip ons' that can be purchased fairly cheap.

These are quality, but I hate on the ear style headphones. I also prefer open design to closed, because if I really want to be cut off from everyone I'll just use my custom in-ears. But that's just me. But the HD25s offer good quality for cost.

Thumbs up for the 770's. Only had about 2 mins on them. Great choice.
