Headset recommendations
 
So I've decided my current headset is a piece of shit so I'm taking advantage of holiday deals to buy a new set of cans.

1. Sound quality is #1 to me
2. I would like to be able to use them with my iPad or iPhone in addition to PC
3. No preference wired vs wireless
4. Price not a factor, but I don't want to pay an extra $100 for a very marginal upgrade
5. Should look decent, I might bring them into work on occasion or use on the go, in airports, etc.
6. It doesn't need to be a "gaming" headset either. A really nice pair of headphones with a mic option would be fine.

Leader for me right now are V-MODA M100s with the detachable mic. My brother has them and highly recommends them. Anyone else have experience with VMODAs good or bad? Or have something better for me to look at?

You should check out this website.

http://www.avsforum.com/forum/173-2-...philes-41.html

Those forums may eat up more time than you are willing to put in for just headphones because of the info overload but they have the best info on anything to do with home media.

I got some really nice headphones that were suggested on that site when I was looking for somethign to use with my theater room but they aren't for gaming (no mic). I still used it for my PC some because they sounded so nice but I mainly got the headset so I could crank the volume up late at night without bothering my wife.

Yeah avsforum is an awesome resource. Never thought to check them for headphones! I put about 20 hours of research into buying my last receiver and television there, so much info its fucking retarded.

I use a cheap standing desk mic and speakers. I would use a headset but I find that wearing a headset vastly reduces my chances at seeing a vagina.

Sennheiser very high on my list. I'm not to keen on getting like turtle beach, logitech or creative, etc...they seem to be more software oriented and don't seem like they'd be that great away from the PC.

As for the 650 HDs, worth the price vs. the 598s for example?

Great comment on the modmic though, pretty much turns anything into a headset - very cool product.
