Is the Steelseries Siberia Elite headset the best choice for a $200 premium headset?

The Siberia Elite has great sound quality but a awful mic. Is there a headset that can achieve the same audio quality with a better mic that's around $200?

See if you can find some Astros, a40 or a50 for that price, if you dont find anything g35s are well reviewed.
Also a very strong choice could be some Audio technicas ath-m50 with a good mic and later you could also throw in a little booster like this http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx good for music AND gaming like fps etc.

The Astro a40s and a50s are overpriced. People just buy them because they are one of the most popular gaming headset and they don't mind that they have to pay $250-$300 to get a average headset. The Audio technicas are great but they have no mic. I think I might just stick with the Siberia Elite.

This is the point of the technicas. They are about 50dollars lower than ur price. so u can use the extra cash to get a good external one. I think these headphones will be better but really..I dont think in this range there diff between headphones will be THAT much different anyway.

I think You are PC gamer so don't even think to buy Astros = poor mic and audio quality. But yes Siberia elite is very good choice but I've always recommended Sennheiser headsets over Steelseries. cause You can get Sennheiser G4ME Ones,PC363D's (that are 7.1) or even 360's at same price (about) they have better Mic quality,audio quality and comfort. Don't get confused cause Sennheiser's aren't very good looking (in opinion) but they perform extremely well.
