Current headset recommendations

[Pestluder]

My old Alienware AW988 are on their last legs. What are the modern recommendations in the $200 - $250 range?

I'm looking for wireless, closed-back and preferably one where the mic folds up nice or detaches. Mainly for gaming but I do enjoy a bit of music - but I'm not an audiophile.

Ps. I still miss the reviews, looking at rtings just aren't the same. They don't name bands, so who knows if Tool is part of the test? (Thanks Kyle).

IMO get good headphones and attach a wireless ModMic.

Reviews are on YouTube nowadays. Just look at actual legit reviews that test the products and not the garbage that is just trying to sell through affiliate links.

I own VZR model 1s are the best but don't like the design do I'm using Hyper Cloud Alpha S. I'll take the VZR when I'm gaming just at Night use speakers during the day.
