Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless.. but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps.

What are you all using?

I use a Plantronics headset. Sound quality is important to me, so I decided to try hardware from a company that specializes in voice comms. I found one on sale for a little more than the cost of two movie tickets.

I'm happy with my choice. My headset is smaller and lighter than any "gaming" headset I've ever seen, and strangers regularly compliment my mic clarity when I play team shooters online.

In case you want to try something similar, Jabra is another brand in that space.
