I'm looking for a decent gaming headset.
Budget: $20-$30
Music Preference: pc games
Form Factor (Type): full size
Open-backed or close-backed (not for IEMs): closed back
Source (MP3 player/desktop/etc): Laptop
What's above everything else?: Sound
I know this thread is for headphones, but I skimmed through and it seems you know a lot about microphones as well :3

Superlux HD 681
+ External Mic
This may stretch a bit out of your budget, but it overwhelms headphones below $30 by a LANDSLIDE. Other than the fact that it's the only (good) full-sized headphone at the price range, it's one of the most regarded budget headphones in the audiophile community - it's like the Monoprice 8320 of full-sized cans. From what I've heard, it has a very consumer-oriented sound signature that won't disappoint for gaming. Seeing as it has a semi-open design, it will leak sound - which is good for a private environment, as it helps with the acoustic soundstage. You will need an external clip-on mic, but those should only run you about $5.
Good luck.

I need help identifying my headphones. On the bit that goes on top of your head it says "SENNHEISER MADE IN IRELAND", and on the left earpad it says "HD 25-1 70Ω". And I normally use it for listening to my games or FL Studio, and rarely my iPad.
Btw, my setup for listening to music via headphones is : Input (Laptop,iPad, and rarely my Phillips stereo), my Roland EF303 synthesizer, and an output of my headphones.

The HD 25-I is an amazing set of headphones. I envy you.
