Headset & ext mic for gaming

All the threads in the search for gaming headsets are pretty stale so just started a new one.

I'm going to be needing a headset soon for WoW.

I just read that it's better to pick up a non-gamer specific set but I don't want anything like the Failtal1tard (lol) one anyway.

Also read it's better to get an external mic, but how does that actually work? :/


Basicaly looking for:

- Something lightweight, don't like big cans
- I travel a lot so I'd need it to be foldable and durable (don't want to use while travelling, just transporting them)
- Quite good bass
- Needs ability to attach external mic
- Don't care too much about noise cancellation or price

Any suggestions?

Does the pX100 sound like a good match or would I be disappointed with the bass? (assuming you can attach mics to that one and if it's the foldable one I'm thinking of anyway)

Thnx for help.

 

There is this one its not even a day old: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=346416

Same applies, get some good headphones and a separate mic.

 

hmm i just bought a steelseries siberia headband.. the mic hides away, is light, portable, but behind the head so i dont know if your into that.

base good, sound good, and theyr super small...
