Gaming headphones under $100

[Albert Yang]

I'm looking for a good set of gaming headphones (obvious need a mic). I can go either usb or one mic one audio plug, but prefer the one mic one audio. Please advise.

Looking at these now but reviews say it's a bit small?

yes, but those do not have a microphone filippi.

however, i do agree that going with a good pair of headphones and a seperate mic is also an option to consider.

you could always attach a modmic to the side of the headphones or use a zalman clip on microphone.

This is from ATH-AD500X newegg specs:

Microphone SPEC
Microphone Frequency Response
Minimum Frequency Response 5 Hz - Maximum Frequency Response 25 kHz

is this right?

I'm a little confused because the picture on Amazon has no camera.
