You can consider the [SteelSeries Arctis Pro](https://realpeoplewin.com/the-best-pc-gaming-headset-steelseries/). Great mic and noise cancellation.
HD560s are 150 euros and regularly go on sale so they are quite close to 100. You have plenty of modmic alternatives which don't break the bank. For slightly more you get a decent sounding headphone which is also very sturdy, something the steelseries headphones aren't. I owned Arctis Pro + the Dac and it sounded bad and was built like crap. I can already see they still have the same plastic construction. Mine broke after a year, got a pair of new ones under warranty which broke again after 6 months, i got new ones under warranty which then broke after 8 months. No thanks. Its great that you're enjoying them, but that doesn't make them good.
You wont look back, I used to use a set of SteelSeries Arctis Pro headphones with their GameDac and it was a game changer! Being able to adjust the volume of your in game party chat against the game audio on the fly saved me more times than I can count. It was just a volume knob which basically allowed a 50/50 chat/game mix or instant adjustment to any variation our of 100 you like. But the best part about that GameDac was the EQ tuner which again could be done super quickly. Took a while to work out exactly what frequency you want but once you nail it down you can hear footsteps from WAYYYYYY further away than you ever have any business hearing. Sometimes it was so amplified you'd be sneaking around waiting to catch this guy who you could swear was in your building when he was Sometimes a few houses over (PUBG)
Steelseries Arctis Pro (Wired) with DAC.
I have the Steelseries Arctic Pro. The base station lets me have multiple inputs at the same time. Computers, PS4, Panasonic 420, etc... When I first got them I had my two computers and PS4 audio coming into the headset all at the same time. No switching! The inputs are small headphone jack, bluetooth, optical.
I absolutely love my steel series arctis pros. I actually love all my steel series stuff. I'm not nice to my stuff at all I beat the shit out of my peripherals but my steel series stuff keep going strong. My sensei mouse made it 7 years of being spilled on and rage slammed and THE only reason I bought a new one one was because the paint started coming off. It's still in the closet as a back up should the need arise.
I use the steel series arctic pro. They have a wired receiver for better connection but you can also use them completely bluetooth. They are about $210 new and about $100 on eBay
How rough are you on your equipment??? I've had a steelseries arctis pro for years and use it HEAVILY but have no noticeable wear or issues with it... Seems like maybe you were actually getting cheap "gaming" headsets instead?
Hey was wondering if you can give an update on the hd560s with the modmic? I got a Steelseries artic pro and the mic is terrible and people complain I’m too low
Obviously the Audiophile headphones are better. Only headphone that I respect which is gaming are two the arctis pro and the aduzze maxwell and the aduzze is better built like a tank. Wired will always beat wireless too keep that in mind
