Wireless Headphones for Gaming and Listening

[Nickslayer]

So my current headset has decided to kick the bucket.

I now have the money to spend a little more on a headset and I am looking for the following key features.

1. Wireless (all my past headset break somewhere along the cable joints. So to make this set last Ill spend more and go wireless)
2. Battery life at least 12 hours (a Good average),
3. 7.1 Surround (probably 50mm drivers),
4. Good Mic (Not unidirectional but not deal breaker)
5. Great quality sound. I like listening to Disturbed, Rammstein and Heavy Rock so would like something that can really bring down the volume.
6. Budget between R1500.00 and R 2500.00
7. Will buy new.

I'm looking at Corsair Void pro Wireless as most of my friends have moved over to these by word of mouth.

Retailers what do you have on offer.

Do you really want to listen to music on a wireless gaming set though?

I hear you....but If I can...If I need to bump the price up with R 1000 then so be it but buying two seperate headsets is not what I am looking at doing.

I use a hd1 for gaming, it is wireless and does have a mic (for taking calls and things) but I have not tested this for gaming chat. If it can be used for chat I would recommend it. Maybe do some research if it can work
I listen to similar music as you and for those genres I do NOT use the hd1, it sounds decent enough but theres better out there. For general listening, like at the office or while travelling, it works great

Thanks for the info.

I looked into the HD1. With all its noise cancellation features i'm surprised its not NRR Rated for a shooting range. Its attenuation is 25Db that's pretty decent.

Second time these were recommended and as far as I can see they are miles ahead of the void
