I have a pair of jaybird bluebudsxAmazon.com: JayBird BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones - Midnight Black: Cell Phones Accessoriesthey are pretty good. I've had them for over a year and encountered zero issues. They are quiet expensive. Their are a lot of options now that are cheaper. Mpow makes a quality clone from what I hear.Amazon.com: Mpow Accessories

Those mpow's are on sale now from Amazon. Mixed reviews, even though the average review on Amazon is high. People say it's inflated, but apparently pretty good.

The above was sold out for a few moments, and someone recommended these, but the reviews are a bit more questionable? or just true, and Mpow deletes bad reviews.

Another pair of chinese knock offs on sale. BT 4.0, and NFC. Bought a pair, and will see how it works. Deal goes for 11 days, so hopefully should have mine by then, and can review them.

Currently using Astro A10s as my gaming headset and mic.

It is starting to hurt my head to wear them. I have replaced the cushion and yet I am still pretty much feeling like my scalp is bruised for wearing these fucking things.

Any suggestions for a new gaming headset/mic that is of equal quality in sound and microphone?

Looking for somewhere around $60.

I don't have this exact model. But I've had a SteelSeries for a few years now and I really dig it.

I have the Arctis 7's, and they are actually really good, but I only use them if I know I'll need to use voicechat for a game. At all other times I just use Sennheiser 598SE's (which I got due to recommendations from people here, thanks!).

These are the prototypes, think I'm going to make them out of polished Phoenolic or a nice light wood with silver inlays.

They're pretty nice, I'm actually looking to get into a nice starter set of audio stuff. I can't spend baller amounts of money like others but a Schiit stack and some entry level headphones might be nice.

I had the disk mounted style, but it was difficult to charge the headphones with and made routing of the cables wonky when using a wired set. I just wanted to make something so I thought why not.

If I can scrounge an actual nice set of cans for music only I'll come up with something interesting for two sets to ride on. I'm hoping we get a 5 axis machine back in house so I can make a vader/stormtrooper helmet for them.
