For a complete package, the HyperX Cloud II's are a quite good value as its a gaming headset, but if you want headphones with a mic, for the money, I'd be hard pressed to find a combo better than the Philips SHP9500 + V-Moda Boom Pro. But thats Open back.. Closed back I'm not quite sure. Possibly the Status Audio HD?

The Jabra Revo Wireless Headphones are extremely useful for what you are looking for. I used them personally for about 2 years and for $120 they were well worth it.
They are Bluetooth 4.0 and 3.5 mm jack compatible. It comes with a 12v/standard plug hybrid charged with two USBs on it, a nylon braided 3.5 mm jack with one elbow port, and a nylon braided micro USB cord.
To get the point these headphones are one of the few "enthusiast" grade headphones that are made for regular use. The sound is very compact and directed to the center of the ear, however it isn't uncomfortable as an on-ear pair of headphones. I've used them for gaming purposes as much as using them when having a two hour phone call.
Leading to my next point, the headphones connectivity are flawless (after a firmware update) and for making phone calls people couldn't tell the difference between my iPhone 6s or my REVO wireless. They can connect up to 30ft, but if your phone is on a elevated plateau, you can get it up to 50ft or 60ft.
There is a lot I missed about these headphones, however Toptenreviews has a full review on them that I found very useful.
The only downside to these is the lag the microphone quality is not anywhere close to a decent gaming headset. But you can easily find a $5 mic separate that can work easily with these headphones.
THats my recommendation

There is already word about earphones designed for the upcoming iPhones without a standard audio out jack.

doug-jensenYes, hence the budget that I've set - not going to splash out too much on a portable set that I won't be able to use while commuting.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

Just a general question on what your thoughts are on what are the best all-round sounding headphones that can also be used for calls (on iOS and also pc for skype calls and pc games).
There is a budget attached to this because they will mostly be used regularly at work for listening to music and also for skype calls. The added usage would be for listening to music at work or on the iphone while commuting.
I've bought into the Apple ecosystem so the budget is there also due to all the rumors that there isn't going to be a headphone jack included in the upcoming iphone releases.
EDIT: additional requirements need suggestions to be over-ears, closed back (might be obvious since needed for calls and on commutes) and most likely non-wireless (to avoid needing to recharge another electronic!)
