Okay now you got me thinking again. I don't know much but which is better? I don't mind getting an external mic because I do have this thing with mic quality, too.

To me... nope

Over-ear + Budget RM700 headphones:

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-A700X
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-AD700X
[+] Audio-Technica ATH-M50
[+] AKG K272HD

custom one pro, ath-m50, sennheiser hd380pro, creative aurvana live 2

ad700/ad700x is probably the best headphone for fps games

zalman clip on mic is very sensitive you just have to whisper to get detected.

No, no. I mean what do you think of the comparison between the sennies and the ones you mentioned. Heard a lot of good things about the Zalman tho.

if you insist to buy the sennheiser i will recommend pc360. although it is a 2-3 years old model but then its price is reduced overtime therefore it is a bargain buy. for other models, you are paying a premium for the headset since for a similar price u can buy a better headphone with zalman.

i nvr use ad700 before but everyone says the positioning is very accurate, the thing is its bass is very light and that is why i chose akg q701 instead. q701 can be used for music, movies and gaming. the soundstage is very wide and the positioning is very good. i can listen to footsteps and gunfire and identify the location of the enemy. for sennheiser gaming line i only used pc323d, it is good for its price (i got it for rm250 (50% off)) and comes with dolby surround sound card.

zalman is a very good mic but is hard to get it in malaysia.

I appreciate the time narrowing down all this, dude. I saw a lot of good reviews on the PC 323D but surround is not for me. I don't do heavy FPS games, anyway. Q701 is, however, very sexy, though.

i am using also Q701 (green, made in Austria) and now sourcing for aftermarket cable, cause stock cable is 3meter and 6 meter long, imba

How big are the drivers?

the driver is not the point, the main thing is it's implementation, big driver doesnt mean a better sound

Ah, I didn't know. Elaborate implementation?

the earpad, the cable, the weight of the headphone, the amp pairable, the driving difficulty, price to perception, all these and more

I need to read more.

Why not?

rivo looks like a rip off from fiio
pro one looks like a rip off from westone
foam tips look like a rip off from comply

Should I go for Beyerdynamic XP2 or Sony XBA-1 (Balanced Amarture) or Ultimate Ears 350vm (RM150) or top up slightly for Klipsch S4i at RM230??

Looking for something "natural" sounding, not too coloured but appreciate good midrange and vocals, don't want something too screechy though..
