Which headset should I get?

Well I've decided that I'm going to get one of these two headsets, though I'm not sure which one.

Specs wise the Plantronics win. But I really like the look of the TekNmotion Intruders and they look comfortable. Also with the TekNmotion I can use it with my phone so if I'm listening to music at home in my bed or something, I can use those and the mic is detachable. So what I wanna know is, do you guys think the specs of the Plantronics outweigh the convenience and look of the TekNmotion or is it the other way around. Which would you guys get?

he doesnt need anything better than this for gaming

i just advise not to worry about the mic when considering a headphone. THere are so meany important things to consider for the actual sound comming out of the headphone while there is very few things to consider for the mic.

Just look for a good headphone with a wide soundstage perhaps some noise canceling and boom. Gaming headphone.

[quote=crazygama]mics are really cheap all by themselves. Buy one separately online or go to guitar center, and buy a professional one for like $25. The mics in the ones you posted are nothing spectacular that you cant get separately for like $10.[/quote]

@crazygama Those don't have mics though, that's the main reason I'm getting a headset to be honest.[/quote]

I can also connect the first directly to my Xbox since it's USB. I'd have to get an adapter for the second. I should have made this a poll.
