Title really says it all.
 
Hi, I'm Ryan
New here..
 
I'm looking for a headset that I can use for gaming that's good enough to also have the ability to watch movies and enjoy them.
It'll be going into my laptop, so obviously with the lack of extra sound card and amp, it'll be a little less perfect but ideally the closest I can get for say under $300AUD.
Mic is preferable but optional.
 
I just don't want to go and buy a headset from MSY or MWave without anybody's opinion on sound, comfort, usability etc.
 
Thanks
