    Hey!

    I'm on the move way too much to keep using my large headset (KOSS SB/45) while communicating over Skype, listening to music or playing games. Hence, I've begun to search for a more minimalistic alternative, hopefully still with an in-built mic. I came across Moray+...

    Buy Razer Moray+ Gaming Earphones and Headset | Official Razer? Store

    There's just one problem here. I don't really like using the in-ear-variant while having a conversation (for me, it results in something similar to talking and covering my ears at the same time). Thus, I continue my search. The Moray+ seems excellent except for the before-mentioned issue. Does anyone have any other suggestions, maybe something similar that instead use traditional earbuds?

    Thanks in advance :).

    i use ety er6i's with my m15x, leaps and bounds better than the razer moray (which i also own). I would possibly look into the astro IEM's simply because they have a built in mic and I really like the flat cable.

    Enjoy the Klipsch S4's myself. And not all that pricey either.

    Thanks :), I'll keep searching there too.

    Those are in-ears :(... But the Klipsch S4 looks rather small at the end, so maybe it doesn't feel as much like one? AKG earbuds are basically what would suit my needs - If they had an inbuilt mic.

    I use this. As a headset for gaming, chat and portability, it's good. Wireless, comes with a portable case, good connectivity. Only around 3 hours per charge though.
