    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.

    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!

    Bummer, PC38x is one of my favorite headphones period.
