I still have have OG Xbox live headset too.Would love everyone's expertise here.
I have several very nice headphones for regular home theatre, out and about, etc etc....
What I'd love help with is picking a gaming head-set, whith mic obviously, that works really well and hopefully quite durable.
Budget is.......let's say under $200, prefarably in the $120 range though.
I need to replace this:

Yea, too many options.I will check out both of these. I do like the Arctis stuff just from the looks and reviews.
So many headsets though. Just trying to narrow it down a bit. Thanks guys!
I still have have OG Xbox live headset too.
I'm rocking a Sennheiser HD 599 SE. Wait for the sale that drops it from $300+ to $100-130. That's when I got it a couple years ago. Have it coupled with a FiiO DAC-E10K. Works great for PC.

Cool, but where's the microphone?
I have Shure SRH840's (through experience, these are my go to's) had AT MX50x before I got these, had Shure SRH440's before the AT's (which is why I went back to Shure, I like them)
And then I have various other headsets from AKG, Shure in ears etc.
I'm looking for a gaming headset.....with a microphone and maybe surround simulation.
I have blue Yeti, & tried headphone & mic & its annoying. So I end up buying a HyperX cloud 2 gaming headset with a mic attached.Oh, I forgot about that. I use a Blue Yeti microphone separately with the headphones.
I’m intrigued by these…

General tips from my own experience.
get an "over the ears" headset. I used to use an "on ears" headphone, & I got pain in my ears after a while.
Get a light headset, otherwise, you may get migrine from the weight of the headset. This was the reason I went with a whire HyperX cloud 2. But these days, wireless can be almost as light, & save the ignoring cable related issues.
