Hey there. The cans I'm currently rocking (SoundBlaster Tactic3D Sigma [https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/electronics/detail-page2/c26-B0041OMWNY-1-s.jpg]) are great, but I had to use superglue to fix them a few days ago after some abuse and that'll only keep them limping on for so long. So now it's time for me to go shopping!
My budget is around the ?40-?60 range ideally. I want a headset that's metal and not plastic in the headband, so it won't snap. It needs to be loose and light enough to be comfortable for several hours of gaming. The surround sound needs to be at least decent, and the sound quality should remain consistently high, not becoming 'muddy' at low or high volumes. There should also be an inbuilt microphone of good clarity and decent volume - it is not necessary for me to be the loudest ************ in the room. I will mainly be using the headset to enjoy crisp, clear and bombastic percussion pieces while I plow KV-1s through columns of panicking infantrymen, so I'd like to be able to hear and identity each audio source if that makes sense - I should be able to tell roughly where an explosion came from and be able to pick out individual instruments.
TL,DR:
[li]Light and comfortable; suitable for extended sessions[/li]
[li]Robust build quality[/li]
[li]Consistently crisp, clear sound quality and moderately good bass without 'muddiness'[/li]
[li]Clear microphone (retractable or detachable)[/li]
[li]Wired or wireless; no preference[/li]
[li]Bundled customization software not paramount, but preferable[/li]
