    Faithful servant, Turtle Beach Stealth 400 headset, is starting to fail. So a replacement is needed. But which should I go for?

    Must haves:
    Wireless, bluetooth is not an option because well desktop compluder
    Removable, retractable or no microphone at all, got something better
    Good battery life, think 12+ hours or longer
    Must be capable of switching output from default to itself when powering on and vice versa
    Over the ear style, on ears make my ears hurt after only few minutes

    May not have:
    Blinkenlights
    Requires a specific software to use

    Gaming headset is not really on my mind, open for options. Kind of fond of Logitech but Sennheiser etc are an option.

    Thoughts?

    I've used the Logitech G930 and it's fine, just fine.

    I currently have the Arctis 7 and love it. It's very comfortable and the sound quality is very good compared to other gaming headsets, but it's probably just "decent" when compared to critical listening headphones.

    But if I had to commit to one headset, it'd be the Arctis 7. It's very very good.

    Sound's a bit like you want headphones rather than a headset(?)

    Ah right, good point wolfie.

    Headphones should do just fine.
