this...........

Get some nice cans such as these http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-650 ... sennheiser

And then a high quality magnetic mic like the Ant Lion http://www.modmic.com/

I have a pair of the earlier release of those Sennheisers, and I am using the modmic right now. Excellent combo. ;)

I'd be too scared they break :/ that clip on mic looks nice though, too bad it doesn't have a mute on it.

It would be stupid if they were shitty headphones, but they aren't. Obviously you can get a solid set of headphones for much less money as well.

The only time I use headphones are when I play cs, so I didn't spend that much. A pair of audio technica ath-ad700s are fine for me, along with the zalman clip mic.

I do use IEMs at work as well but they get kind of abused so I use cheap shit there too. I prefer speakers for everything else :)

Some of us like nice things, and spend our money on them.

Just like you I spent $30 on Shitty MkII's for about a year, bought a new one every 3months since they are so cheap and poorly made.

Then I wised up and bought a real pair of headphones, been using them for 2 1/2 years now, and if some thing breaks? Thats what warranties are for. ;)

I will say it's not worth the money if all you play is CounterStrike 1.6 lol... :lol:

They are coming out with a 3.0 version that has inline mute on it later this year, hopefully shipping by November. 8-)

AD700s are only ~$100 and the zalman clip mic should be ~$10. Mine have been working great for years.

There is plenty of shitty stuff out there that isn't cheap, but Sennheiser does make a quality product.
