The boots theory is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more expensive items.

I buy a mic that sits on my desk so it is separate from the headphones. This kind of mic can be better quality and last longer that one attached to a headset.
This is the way. I dabbled with a modmic but even that developed a cable issue after a couple of years. Now everything I have is modular and all of their cables can be just swapped out.
100% what I used to do with Sennheisers.
But legit, check out EPOS. It’s one of the best microphone companies in the world, teaming up with arguably the best headphone company (Sennheiser). And they cost the same as shitty gamer headsets.
I made the switch maybe 6 months ago
Interesting. I will check them out. You think they’re significantly better for the same price?
ETA: This them? https://www.eposaudio.com/en/us
Yeah.
I went 558 to H6pro.
Just for the headphone part: For gaming it’s a lateral move, and I don’t expect music would be as good. But in this case “lateral move” is still better than the best headsets.
But they cost less then regular Sennheisers without a mic.
So I wouldn’t recommend them as audiophile quality headphones if you’re super into music, but if you are you likely have multiple sets already and wouldn’t mind dropping $100 on a set just for gaming.
When listening to music/movies, even single player games, just keep using what you’re using now.
