Better off buying a headset and mic separately anyway imo. Most headset mics sound like trash and by limiting yourself to just gaming products it usually means settling for something subpar too.

Gaming headphones are a bit of a scam anyway. Just get a good pair of headphones.
Good move. Marketing something for gaming risks devaluing their brand, not because gaming is bad but because there are so many hucksters in that market. A good headphone is a good headphone!
Could someone explain to me what the difference is between 'gaming headphones' and regular noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones e.g.
Sometimes, gaming headsets introduce a specific sound signature (similar to EQ but hardware) so that certain frequencies are louder. For FPS it could be advantageous to hear footsteps, for example.
Bummer, PC38x is one of my favorite headphones period. Except for a driver going bad and having to buy a whole new pair because Drop doesn't sell parts... People can hate on "gaming" things all they want, but sometimes it's just more convenient to have the mic attached and if the headphone also sounds great, why fight it?
