Posts: 716  Let me preface this with the following statement:
All of this is personal opinion (like anything to do with
headsets) and I care far more about music quality than movies or
games. As far as I can tell, headsets that are "optimized for
gaming" are just usually sub-par headphones with a cheap mic
bolted on... You can always just play around with sliders in
your audio control panel if you want to hear too much treble...
My stable:  PC350 (broke a leg... Had to be shot... Enough
experience with it though) 5H V2 Siberia V2 Zowie Hammer Maybe a
couple others I'm forgetting, but these are the relevant ones.
My personal favourite at this time is the Steelseries 7H. It's
not quite as good as my HD 555 in terms of sound quality or
comfort, but it's bloody close and comes with a retractable mic.
Also doesn't bother other people in the room if I'm listening to
music or gaming loud.
