I am looking for a headset that put focus on mic quality first. Wondering if any exist. Don't worry about budget but if there a headset with good value for its price let me know.

Headset I been looking closely: Astros A40 TR, Astros A40, Sennheiser G4ME Zero, Steelseries H Wireless, HyperX Cloud II.

A headset with leather pad, close, and removable cord are a plus.
 
Why focus on mic quality over headphone quality? If you need professional grade mics, you'll need something like http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?atclk=Connector+Type_3.5mm+Mini+Plug&ci=3779&N=4263084562+4263084994+4294950679.

Now, if you mean you want great headsets with decent mics, try something like the G4ME zero, or "make" one by adding a modmic to something like ATH-50x or any number of great options from companies like Audio-Techinca, Sennheiser, Sony, Grado, etc.
 
Because I want the convinience of a headset, not a modmic combo. The G4me Zero is also what I been looking at as the top mic for a headset. The A40 TR I'm wondering if they made their mic as good as Sennheiser though. Seem it having trouble with the S and P sounds though.
