Looking for a new gaming headset. Needs a mic, and preferably the leather/pleather covers for the headphones. Needs good lows (for watching movies and dubstep) Preferably wireless if possible but I would prefer performance.

I have a Logitech G930 (wireless one)

If you want a good general setup, get proper headphones, such as Sennheiser HD558s, and either a ModMic or desktop mic, such as Blue Yeti Pro.

That modmic looks a little flimsy, and it isnt USB =/ I have heard great things about those headphones though, but really need a good built in mic

I've just ordered myself a ModMic 3.0 to go with my DT990 Pro's.

Why would you want a USB mic? 2.5mm can be amped and is generally better quality dependant on your Sound Card. Built-in mics are overrated

I get a lot of interference with those normal audio lines under my desk because of my sub woofer. I also don't want to deal with 2 sets of drivers. Also, that mic is just stick on. I would break that off in a week. I don't see a need to use a desktop mic because it is just one more thing to bring with me if I ever take my desktop to a friends house. Not to mention it would take up valuable desk space, and just add more wires.

If you're looking for a amazing gaming headphone, I got a AKG Q701's in black for sell. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks!

Update: I actually picked up a pair of Siberia headphones. Best buy price matched amazon/newegg so I got them for like $109.

I am really liking these headphones, especially with the roll in mic. Since I dont use a mic very often anymore, it is really nice to be able to get it completely out of my peripheral vision when gaming.

Careful with the microphone on those though - me and some friends had ours and tended to take them around packing them and taking where ever we were going. After awhile 3/4 either broke completely or just cut in and out with a ton of distortion. I don't know if it's a loose connection from taking the microphone in and out but on my warantee set I left the microphone out almost all of the time as I didn't really take them anywhere and they lasted a year, until the left ear cup went on them. They're really comfortable though too after the earpads get some wear into them.

Seems like Op's was more interested on gimmicky headsets

Thanks for the heads up! I was getting the feeling that that would be the weak part of them. Since I rarely use my mic, its going to be in most of the time anyway.

Plus I got the 2 year warranty with Best Buy. So if they break and they don't have more I get a chance at picking up a better one.

They were a decent price, and honestly the bass is really good in them. Much better sound quality than my Logitech G930s were. Plus, they had me sold when I stuck my finger through the box and touched the ear cuff. They feel incredible, super light, and dont move or slip off.

For the record I keep the blue lights off

I got the Corsair Vengeance 1500 USB headset for about $69 on Newegg last Christmas and I like those quite a bit, don't have any complaints. But I would recommend them for bigger heads (I have a large cranium) so it may not suit you (depending on your head size haha).
