Well I'm doing youtube commentaries so i need a headset with a really good mic so everyone can hear me well.
I would get one of those big stand alone mics but i don't have room on my desk. My budget its 200 dollars but only if its really worth it. The headphones quality doesn't have to be the best but if the headset is worth 200 then they have to be good cause 200 dollars isn't a little money for me.

After much research, i found out that the sennheiser truly is the best but only after you have a good sound card. I'm buying the 200$ asus xonar

im not well versed. but i belive sennhesiers too. i do know one thing. some models are the exact same as the regular ones..but add $100 for a regular $5 microphone..
take a look at a HD558 or 598 and see if you can find any mic's to just add on or clip on. some say the zalman clip on works best

I can vouch for the Zalman clip mic, also the Sennheiser pc 350, but your paying more for the cans than the mic. For what you are doing I'd grab the Zalman clip and your favorite headphones and be done with it, unless you can find the room for a stand alone boom mic or you have room next to your desk for a stand.

Also another option is to see if you can find the Xonar package that comes with the Sennheiser pc 350 set specially made for it. Not an immense level of difference in the card offerings in terms of sound quality, slightly better amp and slightly better sound chip on board iirc.

The Antlion Mod Mic is a really great option that you should consider. You pay a lot of $$ for the name on the PC 350 from what I've read, I decided to go with higher quality cans and the antlion mod mic.
