Exactly what you need
Sennheiser makes some of the best audio equipment in the world; I figured they knew how to tune a headset to a gamer's sensibility.
I was right. This is one of the best headsets available anywhere, in my opinion. It works with any source you'd care to throw at it, so long as you use the appropriate adapter. Auto mute is activated when you push the mic boom up, and there's a volume knob on the right earcup. They are deceptively durable, despite their light weight, and are an open--ear design, which means sound bleeds a little into the room, but that also gives the sound a little airiness. this helps the midrange a bit, which is useful for directional sounds. You'll find enemies a little easier to spot with these.
Don't get me wrong, the frequency response is quite broad on these headphones, just don't call them muddy. Every sound is articulate, pronounced, and impactful.
If you can find these discontinued gems, get them. If you spend any time in a headset, you won't regret the purchase.
