I'm looking to get a Blue Yeti Microphone soon, But i want a Gaming grade Headset for my games/Streaming, Can anyone recommend the best or Best choice of headset out there for me by any chance?
BTW, This headset can ( if it must ) include a Mic, But im Only looking for the BEST sounding Headset out there.
budget? headsets go up to several thousand dollars
Hmmm.... I would have to say MAX 250 - 300$
IF you are looking for a headset without a mic, then I advise you to look at actual audiophile grade headphones. You will get some serious performance for that price range. Do you have a sound card, dac, or amp? Because if not, you should think about getting something. Right off the bat, I would suggest the Soundmagic HP100 and the Fiio E10 to go along with it. The headphones are amazing for their price and do everything just right. If you want something for professional footstep listening, I can suggest that too. And if you want some info on audiophilia in general and the hardware and whatnot, let me know. I have that outlined in a different thread, if you are interested.
I am Very much interested in this, I would love to read your article.
Not really an article, but it has all the information that you should need.

I would Highly recommend Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. I have owned them for a year now, and they are extremely comfortable, and they sound amazing. The HD 280s have very good noise isolation so you won't have to worry about outside noises bothering you while you play your games, nor will you have to worry about bothering anyone with the sound of your game. The HD 280s have a very good sound range i believe its 8hz - 25khz so you get those really good lows and highs. I personally use them for gaming and have to say I do not need anything else. They also are great for music. Here's the Sennheiser website link for them http://en-us.sennheiser.com/professional-dj-headphones-noise-cancelling-hd-280-pro hope this helps.
All this information is literally hurting my brain, I do wish to get into the Audiophile age because i want the best audio and bass i can find, But there is a catch, i am only willing to spend $300 On a headset and Amp/DAC
Can you throw me your personal Recommendations for a Headset with Great sound/Bass and a Amp/DAC please?
Like i said, It's really hurting my brain...
I find the bass on my HP100 to be just perfect. If you are in the states, then I know that the Soundmagic HP100 and a Fiio E10 both from amazon comes to less than 300. That is what I would suggest you do. Great sound.
Just to clarify, I will be using this for Gaming, Music and Streaming, These two devices you Recommend the most for me personally correct?
One last question, Why these over any Gaming headsets out there?
Gaming headsets generally have crappy sound quality. They usually have useless features and are overpriced. They are a specialty item sold to the people who are used to pay a lot for stuff (pc gamers who buy expensive pc hardware). If you want good sound, look to things that are geared towards audiophiles. They are the ones to impress with sound equipment, not gamers. The HP100 is a great headphone and has been fantastic with everything that I have thrown at it. You might find it better to get a sound card instead of a dac/amp like the E10, but I don't know too much about them other than they are the way to go if you want dolby digital surround. For just overall sound quality though, something like the E10 should be good for now.
Also, many of the high end gaming headsets from audiophile companies are just one of their headphones with a mic attached for a hefty premium.
For future reference, What EXACTLY would i look for in a headset for Audiphiles? And if at all possible, Could you recommend three more headsets other than the one you suggested?
You need to look for reviews on a website like head-fi. They will describe the sound for you and that will be what you should go by in what you are looking for. There is no way of knowing if you will be happy with a set without hearing it for yourself. The closest thing that you can do is to read reviews. The problem with just googling is that you will often get to a site that is a review site and might have been paid off or given some incentive to give a good review. That is why I like going to head-fi and similar headphone forums. These are just regular people reporting what they have heard in their headphones.
If you are going to spend a decent amount of money on headphones (over 100) then you ought to invest in a dac/amp as well. If you read what I put in that other thread (which I think you did) then you probably understand the reasoning behind that. So under about $240 (leaving room for the dac/amp to stay under 300), I would suggest that you look at the Beyerdynamics DT880/990, Philips Fidelio X1,and the Sony MDRMA900. But I think that the best all-arounder would be the HP100. Then again, you might like the sound signature of one of the others better.
Also, if you come across terms that you don't know in reviews, head-fi has a really nice glossary.

I really want to thank you for all the time you took from your last day to explain all of this and help me, Thank You. I really mean that, Most people would not take this kind of time to do such a thing.
One Final Thing, Some of these Headsets like the Beyerdynamics DT990, Have two or more different Ohms, Which should i choose?
I mentioned that in the other thread and there I linked an article about the sonic differences between them all. Have a look there to see how they all differ from each other. I still recommend the HP100 though.
I'm strongly thinking of getting the Philips X1/28 Fidelio X1 Headphones because i do NOT want plastic parts, I'm tired of my headsets breaking because manufactures decide to make shitty quality headset that break if you drop them on a carpet, This headset has NO plastic, And it's one of the ones you recommend.
That is a very good option. Just don't forget to grab an E10 as well.
