I want to replace my headset. 8-9 hour days are hurting my ears a bit. Budget is whatever, not looking for something cheap. If I get no other input, I may go with these: https://www.amazon.com/Razer-BlackShark-Gaming-Headset-Detachable/dp/B086PKMZ1Q/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&aaxitk=Os-2QcMhPMhuDr1QE.qEpQ&hsa_cr_id=3686804820201&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_2 They were rated pretty high.

Didn't you get a new pair of headphones recently? Didn't they have an integrated mic?
-
Not recently. I got a pair of Cowin E7s last year but I absolutely hate them. I have ear buds but I'm looking for a comfortable wired gaming headset.
-
Are you using these for work, or are you gaming 8 - 9 hours a day? :D
I ask because for gaming, good audio is important. But for zoom meetings, ear buds may be a more comfortable option.
-
It will be for both. I have ear buds I use for meetings sometimes already but over the ear headphones are more comfortable for long periods.
-
I've been using my QC 35s for years and am happy with them. Looking online it appears they have a gaming version that has an extended mic and cord. I use the built-in mic for meetings and haven't had a problem.
-
I have a pair of QC 15s that I gave my wife a while ago. I don't remember if they had a mic or not. I'll check those out.
-
Actually, I do have one complaint: When using the mic it uses Bluetooth AG audio that makes the sound shitty. But that would go away if you are plugged in rather than bluetooth.
-
Yeah, I really don't like wireless headphones for meetings. I far prefer my wired ones, which is why I'm leaning towards the wired Razer.
-
I have too many cords on my desk to want another one for meetings. It is mostly when gaming that I notice it the most (since it is more obvious). But in those cases I'll just use the mic on the webcam and keep the audio on the headphones.
-
I don't even like the audio being wireless. I've tried with 2 earbud models and my Cowin wireless. They just don't sound as good as my wireless headphones. Maybe I'd get used to it if I used them every day but right now I'm not willing to give up the quality.
