Sorry to put that pressure on you.
I have the HD555's paired with an astro mix amp and love em. There is a guy who does a beautiful job on custom headphone modding, and actually built a mic into my HD555's. Works better than any headset out there in terms of quality I'd say. Take a look through his stuff, mine are the yellow and black ones.

The ports on the cable tips and the end of the boom mic all look high quality and well finished as FUCK.
Set them as numbers 1-whatever the total is. And ill pick a number at random.

Well, I don't know. I'm not an audiophile myself, and I only have a pair of headphones (for gaming and editing) that I use mostly at home.
It really depends on what you want.
-Open back headphones have a more natural sound, which is better for serious editing (good speakers are the best option for this purpose ofc), and by design they have a better soundstage (better simulated surround sound).
-Closed back headphones isolate sound, which is the only option for LANs, public places, and (I assume) DJ work. Bass is generally more prevalent (which might be good or bad depending on your tastes)
If you are looking for a headset that should be useful everywhere then my advice is a closed back design.
In any case, try to look at these first before turning your eye towards gaming headsets:
Sennheiser, Shure, Audio-Technica, AKG
I doubt you'll find many detachable microphones outside gaming headsets, but look around
Yeah, if that is alright with everyone that would make sense.
Just to clarify I'll give the rundown on the headset again. It's the Sennheiser X320. Ended up winning it at PAX East this year. It's opened, wanted to check if the audio carried via USB (which it does not). It's really only designed for the XBOX 360. Uses the RCA plugs to carry the audio. Has dials separating the voice and game chat as well as bass boost. When you flip the microphone up, it mutes the headset.
I have the Turtle Beach DX12, so really don't have a need.

That picture exemplifies one of the reasons I despise the look of modern South Park. Completely devoid of the charm of the cardboard cutout style, looks like flash animation.
Your suggestions are grand. Thank you good sir.

Comes out on Tuesday.
To endorse one of them, I have a pair of Audio Techinca M50s right next to me that I use for gaming, a rare mix here and there, and just in general listening to music. Although many people will tell you headphone burn in is a myth, over about 50 hours or so my quality started to slowly improve. No mic option, but I just downgrade to a set of computer speakers and use the default Xbox mic or I use the M50s and have the mic around my neck.
I was in the same boat as you.
It's one week. One week. Nothing much at all; you've waited what, a year and a half for Halo 4?
i may have jumped the gun, lol. just crossing my fingers
just tell me how!?
I wonder when the reviews start coming out, I thought it would be out today but didn't see any. I've heard the game has some technical problems, possible the embargo has been kept closer to launch from fear of lower scores affecting sales. I've heard publishers allow earlier lifts to embargoes if they are confident in their games, seeing as reviews aren't even out yet for AC3...Ubi may be worried about quality. Just an idea.
I'm selling it. Shipping kind of sucks though.
Has to be in the US. USPS Priority large flat-rate is $16, was looking for $20 for the headset. So close to $40.

Eh, you gotta buy the products to get 2x exp?
Have a friend buy the product, you can use the codes twice on the Doritos.

It comes early this week.
You went to all those stores? Yikes.
They're all in my normal rotation anyway. Also I still don't understand how Omaha supports 8-9 24 hour Wal Marts. All but one or two of those stores in that list are open 24 hours. Mindblowing when you go to a gigantic city like Vancouver and everything closes at 9-10.

Same here. Every store is closed by 10pm except for Wal-Mart. Who wants to go to Wal-Mart, cause I don't.
