So finally my Fatal1ty headset died after about 6 years of usage. I am in the market hence to replace them. A bit tired of tripping over the cabling and getting it caught in the chair too, so looking for a wireless replacement with a budget of £150 ish.

I largely use them at home for work for work, so mic is essential. I do not do any gaming but do listen to a lot of music while crunching away at the keyboard. It is unlikely i will travel with them as i have a pair of jabras 65t's.
I have a pair of AKG 550 (MKII ?) reference headphones but i do not like the signature as they are a bit tinny.

Spent some time reading the recent threads and i can see a lot of suggestions on DT770/990 + mod mic , but a wired setup is something which does not appeal to me at the moment and would really like the flexibility to get up from the desk and move about when in a call.

No audiophile , so i do not have any amps/dacs to plug the headset into. Would like a easy to setup kit.

Cheers!
 
Spent a couple more hours reading and ended up with a G6 + DT770 combo. Not pleased about the wires, but wireless headsets seem to have a host of issues running on a PC (codecs/compatibility). Waiting for them to arrive over the next couple of days.

Still need to figure out a mic situation. Looked at modmics , but seems will add more clutter to the tiny desk-space i have , wifi is just too expensive to justify. Might get a cheapo mic to add to the setup.

Thanks for all your responses.
 
Just got myself a G6 to go with my Philips Fidelio X2's and the difference from on-board is amazing!

Awesome! 770's arrived today and been driving them.... the cans sound great, clean separation , highs might be a little to sharp for me , but hoping they will break in and change tonality .

I was hoping a little more bass from them unfortunately. Awaiting delivery of G6 tomorrow. Will try to EQ it.
