what im buying is for pure sound,and music, i dont want the mic attachment. Also just saying from past history, square gaming headsets are uncomfortable as fuck, and they dont work well because your ear isnt square, its oval. also i found a hilarous pair of headphones http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-XB700.../dp/B001RB24SW The shier size of the ear makes it look funny, but at a staples near me they had one of these, and holy shit is it comfortable, too bad the sound is crappy for the price

I was literally just about to post a complaint about those exact headphones and to see if it had happened to anyone else and if they had been able to fix it.

Today I put the headset on my desk to go let the dog out. When I come back the left ear does not work, and the cord could be pushed into the earphone. I haven't opened it up to fix the wire as i am looking for the receipt, but as I said, has this happened to anyone else who has owned these headphones?

And btw aco, besides that they are great headphones.

Edit: Also aco I had the fatal1y headphones before, they are also very good, you will be pleased with either choice.

i was honestly hoping for some decently affordable with a braided cord. I would prefer that for the better durability...however i can't seem to find any of sufficient quality.

actually blackout, i'm looking for something that I can wear around and use as regular headphones, as well as a headset for gaming. that's why i kinda like the removeable mic. how did the soundblaster's do for music and movies and shit?

Just get a desktop mic. They work the best and cost basically nothing. I have used the same one for decades without issues. This should work fine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16836131024

I will take that into consideration. in the even i go for the seperate mic/headphones option, what would you recommend as far as headphones, keeping budgetary concerns in mind (I do not want to spend more than the siberia neckbands)
