Hello everyone. I want to buy some new headsets ( 150$ max )

What i want:

Sound and comfort are the most important here. I want them to be good in music and in gaming ( the Z6A was the best choice here )
Then : durability . I heard about the Z6A and the "3 months use" . I don't really trust in them, but whatever.
Then : microphone . I want a good microphone, that's all.

I don't really care if it's surrond or stereo if it sounds really good and they are comfortable.

I'd go for z6a or x12. But what do you think? And which one between these 2 ?
I don't care about multi-platform comp.

You don't want gaming headphones if sound quality is important. Gaming headphones are the worst thing for audio quality.

Don't waste cash on gimmicky gaming headphones.

Alright then go for the Steelseries Siberia V2 if you want something off that list.

None of those will be good for audio or comfort. Gaming headsets are the worst of the worst audio quality wise(they are made to look cool, and nerdy with surround sound effects). My previous comment still stands if you your statement of "Sound and comfort are the most important here" is true.

If your willing to spend 50 dollars more, you can get the PC360 which is what you'd probably want.

the problem is that i want something with mic included. i don;t want them separate.
reasons are not important.
i also saw some reviews for m50 and i heard that they are awfull at games.
do you own them or something? or why do you propose them?

I understand that you want a mic included, but I'd hate to see someone buy something they end up not liking. I am giving my opinion, it's up to you to take it or leave it.

Also, audio will sound different to everyone, so it's a subjective thing.

Anyways, I have a pair of M50s, they are great headphones for music, don't use them for games.

AD700 are great in gaming for accuracy, sound stage, and audio quality, details, and comfortable for the price.

I use the new A900X for gaming, and love them.

Keep in mind the 700s are budget headphones. Headphones can run up to 1000 dollars before a dac and amp. :p

i can;t go over 150$, because it is still a lot. in my country 150$ is 1/3 of the medium salary.
i can;t really decide.... some ppl say to take headphones+mic, some others say to take gaming headsets, and i can;t go for a wrong decision because of the price.

i only need 2 more opinions.
in this time i red tons of forums and the opinions are divided. So if there will be 2 persons to answer me, i will make my final decision.

First :
Headphones + mic : A700X , M50, Sennheiser 555, Sennheiser 558.
Headsets : TB z6a vs Siberia v2 vs sennheiser 323d

I use them for 50 music / 50 gaming.
I want reasons between headsets vs headphones + mic.
I want reasons for choosing the phones/sets.
