Reddit mentions of dreamGEAR BOOMCHATTM Audio Cable with Microphone Black/Silver

Buy actual headphones.

This is what I recommend: HD 598s- https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0126HISOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_5gDOybCQ15SVY

2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter- https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007R58NPK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_SiDOybH28FT20

Microphone- https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01DBZJ77W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_omDOybRRCEY0P

• Budget - Not sure if sub $100 headphones would really require a DAC, but I've kinda sold myself on the FiiO E10K, so I would like to get that + sub $100, or if not required, max $180 but closer to the $150 range would be nice.
  
  
  
• Source - desktop pc only
  
  
  
• Would like to use these in my dorm room and forget where I am. Best isolation I can buy in this range please.
  
  
  
• Would like full sized over-ear
  
  
  
• I definitely appreciate good bass, but I'm fine with a more balanced or even possibly v-shaped sound
  
  
  
• Past headphones - JBL Synchros S300 for computer use, and iBeats for mobile use, and wasn't satisfied with either. Learned that I really really dislike on-ear headphones, and would like something comfortable for many hours at a time.
  
  
  
• I listen to a mixture of bass-heavy hip-hop, typical pop music, and classical piano. Not sure how helpful that is.
  
  
  
• Main requirements - isolation, good bass would be nice, but still usable for daily youtube video watching, ability to plug in a mic for occasional gaming purposes ( [this] (https://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-BoomChat-Detachable-Headphone-Convert-Headphones/dp/B01DBZJ77W/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493339031&sr=1-1&keywords=boomchat+dreamgear+mic) is the mic I have and currently cannot use because the S300 has no 3.5mm jack), and long-term comfort. I had looked previously at the [NVX Perfect 10] (https://www.amazon.com/Perfect10-Over-Ear-Headphones-ComfortMax%C2%AE-XPT100/dp/B0093PVTPS) and the [AKG 553 Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/AKG-3280H00100-K-553-Pro/dp/B00X3MT7F6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493338874&sr=1-1&keywords=akg+553), but I'm very unsure about how decent they are, and also their ability to weild a non antlion modmic kind of mic

If you want to save $15 you can also check out the BoomChat. It is essentially the same thing without the nice v-moda cable or headphone/mic splitter. I am currently using it with my SHP9500 for gaming.

I'm not sure how the sound quality will be, but it should work. I found a few cheaper alternatives if you have prime. The second one should be plug and play with your headset.
