These are by far the best gaming (FPS) headphones you can buy. Sennheiser even sells an add-on mic made for this headset. Or add your own mod-mic.
I went from Maxwell's to this headset and its 10x easier to pinpoint player location in FPS games. The 560s is also wayyy more comfortable.
If you take COD or BF seriously this will make you a better player.

I got these for $110 Refurbished and for the money they really can't be beat. I'm currently using the HiFiMan Sundaras but sometimes I look over at my 560s and miss its ergonomics.

Don't buy a headset mic. Ever.
If you are on a budget I'll help you out:
Free: Turn your android into a mic with apps like Droidcam (also turns your phone into a webcam). You might be surprised how good this sounds compared to something like a shitty Hyper-X headset mic.
$20 Samson Meteor - Start here and compare options (lots of new budget mics so I can't compare more recent ones)
These are not the best gaming headphones you can buy. The actual best one (that most audiophile reviewers pick for gaming) is the Sennheiser HD 800S which cost about $2000 and has a better soundstage. These HD 560S however, are the best ones you can buy in its price bracket.
Thats why i said they are they best headset YOU can buy... not the best headset MONEY can buy
You would also need a high-gain amp to drive the HD800s.

$50-60 Skip this segment entirely. Trust me.
$100 Used AT2020 + interface
If your just playing FPS games no one in your lobby or xbox party cares if you have a headset mic. Not many people need a desktop/boom mic unless you want to be a streamer and dont want a mic in your face. Modmic2 is really good quality.
Think the guy deleted his comment, so this one will no longer make sense. But are these on par with the hd600's considering their a newer model by like 30 years?
