I don't really get the niche that high-end gaming headsets are supposed to fill, especially when you factor in consoles. I see and hear about these super-expensive Turtle Beach headsets that seem to be tied to the hip with MW3 (like how Mountain Dew cello-taped itself to the skater/sports crowd), but despite their seeming to be specifically engineered for gaming, can they even compete with audiophile cans in their own specialty?
TD;LR, Is there anything that a [GOOD] gaming headset will do that, say, a similarly-priced set of hi-fi cans, can't do, not counting having a built-in microphone?
BONUS QUESTION: Counter-intuitively, would any of these so-called "gaming headsets" be halfway decent for music or movies?
