Looking for new headset recommendation for computer!
Currently using siberia v2.
What I'm looking for:
Comfortable ( Few headset are comfortable when you're wearing a specs 🙁 and also wearing for long hours)
Noise isolation would be cool to have.
Noise cancelling mic ( Busy area,busy streets )
Not too picky about what it can give when listening to music,not a must but a plus.
Will be waiting for recommendation!
Thanks in advance!

Here you go:

Sound Blaster Tactic 3D

Astro A40 or A50

Logitech G930, G35, G430

CM Storm Sirus

Sennheiser PC 350, 360, U320

Corsair Vengeance

MadCatz F.R.E.Q. 7

Razer Kraken Pro, Chimaera, Megalodon, Blackshark Tiamat 7.1

TeknMotion Intruder
PDP Afterglow Wireless Headphones
Republic of Gamers Orion Pro

Steelseries Siberia v2 (just a different colour 😛) or look at the 5H V2, 9H ranges

Genius Cavimanus GX

Now it's up to your budget, preference. But I listed a bit of everything, wireless, wired, expensive, affordable, good, excellent. Black - Red, Blue - Green.

I did not mention the Thermaltake headset because for the price, the ones in my list are better.
I'd recommend the Logitech G930 headset, the mic is really good and the sound is great. I don't wear glasses so I can't help on that sense. I've had a couple minor issues with the headset, though even without the purchase receipt Logitech was willing to replace them. I've been wanting to try the the Corsair Vengeance 2100's next.
 
My recommendation would be a set of Astro A40's with the Astro MixAmp Pro (comes with the headset). The MixAmp Pro is USB powered and can be used as the audio device but it also takes a TOSLINK Fiber Optic connector for high quality audio. The headset is 7.1 surround sound and it can also be used with gaming consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, etc). The headset is about $220 - $250 but I kick myself every day knowing that I bought a different headset for half the price and was so unhappy with it that I bought the Astros 4 months later, after I finally convinced myself to make the purchase. The headset is very light weight (I sometimes forget about it and walk off with it on and pull out cables) and the mic is very good (I use it for recording commentaries all the time). The sound quality is extremely good, as you would expect with the price. You do not have to use the MixAmp Pro to use the headset as normal headphones, they just will not be in surround sound and the mic will not be available.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.Have been looking at your recommendation.I'm thinking of Republic of Gamers Orion Pro or Logitech G930. Which would you choose?
 
If the logitech 930 sounds anything like my g35 (I think the 930 is the wireless vertion of the 35), I would not reccomend them. The 7.1 is just software, virtual surround. I got myself a good hifi headset from denon (around 200$) and a soundblaster z( that includes an ok Mic), Sound a lot better then the G35. Cost a little bit more, but it is worth it my opinion, specially if you also listen to music on youre computer
 
I have astro A40s and wear glasses, I don't even notice them. I often play for 8+ hours and have never had a comfort issue. As stated above they are extremely light, I upgraded from PS Pulse Elite wireless headset which was very heavy, then when I picked up the box for the Astros I thought "wow these are heavy" turns out the box is the only thing that weighs anything haha. (You could probably kill someone with the box) I don't believe the mic is noise canceling but its pretty good. If noise canceling is a must I would get something else or get a seperate mic.

One more thing worth mentioning, they are strong. They are not made of cheap material, they are mostly plastic but metal where it matters. Its also not the cheap plastic like most things are. The build quality is the reason I upgraded to them, and 6 months down the line (I normally replace my $150 headsets by this point) they are a little dirty but 100% functional.
