They're pretty loud, yeah. Not really an option for listening in bed without annoying the shit out of the person beside you.

Thanks, did a bit of research and figured out what "open back" means =)
Ordered a pair of the 598s and also a pair of the Audio Technica M50x to audit, see which works better for me and get a chance to compare the two.

Any experience or thoughts on Bluetooth adaptors? This looks nice and seems like a nice way to be wire free when I want to:https://thebtunes.com/?variant=8296337217

So my roommate and I purchased a pair of these Microphone setups last week to improve our voice chat quality. Especially now that I'm Twitching. Pretty fantastic for an entry level condenser microphone with a proper XLR connection. The boom arm really helps in dealing with the much increased size of the microphone versus my tiny computer desktop microphone I had before.

I bit the bullet and bought the Btunes adaptor and I'll report back on my findings, seems like a pretty cool option if I don't want to be tethered but I can still cable up when doing serious listening. Kinda pricey but it's on sale for $79.99 and here's a link to a $10 off coupon if anyone is interested.

I'd like to get wireless headphones with a mic for gaming for it seems like they're few and far between. Should I just get a desk mic and headphones? Not an audiophile and don't want to spend a lot.

I have used them and liked them but I am a Razer fanboy and have most of their stuff. They are $170 and that isn't the cheapest.

I would stay away. I used wireless for many years - Logitech, Razer and others. The fidelity isn't as good as solid wired sets but the biggest killer to me was none of them stay connected for long. I suffered with short disconnects every few minutes for years because I thought the wireless was worth it. I finally gave up on them after the newest Logitech release was even worse. I'm much more pleased with a quality wired setup.

I eagerly await your description of what $15 ear buds sound like after you purchase a $5000 pair of sennheisers.

This, the markup on headsets is ridiculous. The headphone half generally sucks especially for music, and the mic is usually super low grade.
Get a good set of headphones, and a mic that is acceptable to your budget. After my short experience with them even a low end condenser mic rocks!

Bizarrely, this video on how to be an online voice actor has some good information surrounding PC microphones:

I have had theSteelSeries Siberia 800'ssince January and they are the first wireless headphones that I've really liked. I have the Senn 175's too but didn't think they sounded that great so I set out to find something better. First tried the Astro A50's and they were junk - weird buzzing issue with them. Previously I had a Logitech headset and would say with absolute passion to stay the fuck away from Logitech. Then went to the SteelSeries and was pleasantly surprised.
They have excellent range (best I've ever had), two batteries which is awesome because you basically never have to worry about running out of juice, mic clarity is good enough and the sound is totally acceptable to me (but I'm not a hifi nutjob or anything). I'd definitely recommend them to someone that absolutely wants wireless.
