I'm a big gamer and while I like good sound, I'm not an audiophile. I know that puts me in the minority here, but none the less, I'm hoping you guys can help me. During your extensive research, has anyone stumbled across something that has these features?
Must haves:
- Circumaural: I wear glasses so supraaural cans push my ears into my glasses which can get slightly uncomfortable after long periods of time
- Attached boom mic: A no brainer for me because I use ventrilo extensively with friends for chat. I've tried a separate clip on mic and table mic and they just aren't the same as a boom mic for quality.
- Closed: To maximize immersion in the game and exlude the aforementioned loudness in my room.
- In-line volume control: While I could live without one, I've grown so accustomed to having the in-line volume control that I can hardly imagine living without it now.
I'm obviously looking for something with decent sound, but it doesn't have to be amazing. I currently use Sennheiser pc160s so I'm not used to HD595s or something similar. Thus, the sound quality doesn't have to blow me away, but I also want something that's capable.
I was looking greedily at the BeyerDynamic DT234 Pro, but then I realized that it was supraaural despite the appearances in the pictures. Does what I want actually exist or am I stuck with what I've got until I get frustrated enough to try and mod something?
