The title says it all. My Plantronics headset is causing me more grief than a world-class troll (namely, developing a short and this round, striated cord TANGLES EVERY SIX SECONDS), so I'm in the market for a new headset. My only
requirement is that it
must be an over-the-ear cup headset. Others either never fit right or make my ears hurt.
My absolute cap is $150 unless there's a very good reason to go beyond that. I've never owned a wireless headset but I'm certainly interested. I've heard that Sennheiser and Audio-Technica make great headphones, but the complete headsets I've seen so far are either too expensive or not cups.
My first choice for wireless is currently the
Logitech G930. I've also heard both good and bad things about Turtle Beach.
My two contenders for microphone-free wired headphones are the utterly hideous but supposedly wonderful
Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 and the
Sennheiser HD 280. In order to use either of them I'd also need either a clip-on mic or a stand mic, neither of which I've ever used (and thus I'd love some input here as well).
Any thoughts and personal experiences with these or other headsets?
