As far as microphones go I use the Antlion Mod Mic.
And for headphones I use the Audio Technica ATH-AD700X
Both were reviewed by the Tek Syndicate and I am happy with my set up. Well If I remember correctly they reviewed the Audio Technica 900x but the 700x has been a dream.
Edit: Both have cables that are long enough to plug into the rear I/O and allow for plenty of slack and... I purchased this so that i can use them with my PS4 because the 'Gamer' headset that I purchsed to use with the console was absolute rubbish.
