Hi,
I need a new headset for gaming. Semi closed or fully closed with mic. I use the (asus) motherboard built in sound card, nothing fancy.

The look, lights, curves etc not important as I game in the dark, so I don't really look at it. Just be dark colour can de.
Looking for comfy sets for long gaming sessions. Good sound. Not flimsy as I kinda fumble in the dark sometimes with them. blush.gif My headphones only last like 3 years. Sigh. Also I do not have speakers, only headphones.

Budget up to RM 250, but preferably not over RM200.

If you know any shop in Subang/Kota Kemuning with comparable prices, also do give their info.

Thanks!

Suggestions/Considerations so far:
Superlux HD 668B RM 140 (No Mic)
Audio Tecnika (Unknown Model) (Uncomfy)
Nuforce NE-700M
Nuforce NE-700X
Sennheiser HD 419

I think u should try open can like audio tecnika type
Really comfortable , for long wearing

Fully enclosure is very uncomfortable but bass is very deep

For me as a gamer + audiophile
I get my self a separate web cam or something that has mic then my headphone SQ is beast both combination is best

Try looking at IEMs with built-in mics if you don't have much space. Compact, works well, and it's easier to keep than full-sized headphones.

"The NE-700M Earphones include a hands-free microphone with pick-up button"
From my experience these hands free mikes suck while gaming. Is the mic good? (700m or 700x version)
And do I have to press the button, or can set to push-to-talk on my mouse?

How about taking a look at Senheiser HD419 ? 1xx. Does great for overalls and gaming. Punchy bass , light weight and comfortable for long gaming usage.

I don't believe it has a mike based on what I read. Am I wrong?

I meant the concern more that the mike isn't near my mouth. The kind that has a stiff wire to adjust to your lips. biggrin.gif Dont need big big, but usually less than 2" from mouth can hear well.
This one hanging "nearby" the head area.... I don't have much experience with this kind. Hence the worry. biggrin.gif
