They are these:
PENDULUMIC STANCE S1+

These have been a great home away from home when speaking about headphones. My home system has HD 598s, but I can’t take open backs on a plane. These are great, and Bluetooth sound is crisp.
Also Amazon. 😉 I have to make the best use of my prime.

Oops, missed that sorry. Check out the Pendulumic Stance S1+: http://www.amazon.com/PENDULUMIC-Wireless-Headphone–Audiophile-Freedom-Bluetooth/dp/B00OG7VW64/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437530063&sr=8-1&keywords=pendulumic+stance+s1 and you may just have to use a desktop mic, as you can’t really get anything with good sound that’s wireless and has an option for a mic

I’m not really sure if what I’m looking for exists, or is possible but I suppose I’ll see!
- Budget – Let’s say $200-$300? I’m not super firm on a budget, and don’t even really know if I’m going to buy anything soon I’m just seeing what recommendations there are.
- Source – This is where it gets tricky. I’d like to use these with my iPhone 6+, Macbook, desktop PC, and PS4. I’d also like bluetooth if possible, not sure what the general consensus is on that here, but I’d also like them to be able to use a wired connection when at my desktop. Also, my desktop has an Asus Xonar DX that I’d like to utilize, if that would work.
- Requirements for Isolation – I’d like sound not to leak out of whatever I get, and I’d also like to drown out sound around me but that’s not as important, these will mostly be used in quiet environments but I don’t want others around me hearing what I am.
- Preferred type of headphone: I’d like full size, over ear. That’s what I’ve used in the past as I’ll be sitting/not moving around when using them most of the time.
- Preferred tonal balance: I’d like just an all around balanced sound, I do like bass that has an impact but not if it drowns out mids or highs.
- I currently use Astro A50’s with my PC and PS4 and the apple earbuds that came with my iPhone for my phone and Macbook(please have mercy, this is why I’m here, to get better ones!). So I only use the earbuds with my phone and Mac because I have nothing else, the A50’s can’t hook up to them. the A50’s I like the like the wireless and built in mic, and the ability to adjust chat volume independent of game volume on the headset itself. The soundstage sounds good to me, but I don’t know how it compares to audiophile headphones. It has dolby headphone but I’ve heard stereo headphones can be seen better?
- Preferred music: I want to use these for about half music, half gaming. More on this later. Music would be mostly pop and modern music, stuff like Katy Perry, AWOLNATION, Sia, Lorde, etc. Gaming would be first person shooters mostly.
- What I’d like to improve/random notes:
Okay, so right now I have my astro’s for gaming at desktop and PS4 and my earbuds for mobile/other devices. What I want to do, if possible, is get one set of nice headphones to replace both of these.
My first thought/concern, is it possible to get a pair of headphones that is good for music and gaming(wide soundstage), or do you kind of have to choose one or the other/have one set for each?
I also would need a built in microphone if they are to replace my astro’s as a gaming headset. I’d also like them to have bluetooth for using with my iPhone and MacBook while still having the option to use a wired connection. Are bluetooth headsets good? Do they compromise on sound quality, both in wireless and wired?
Essentially, if I can get a good pair of headphones that is better soundstage than my Astro A50’s, and also good for music, with a mic and preferably option to use bluetooth and wired connection, I want to do it to replace both my astros and my earbuds. I play a lot of shooters, where soundstage and accuracy is very important, so it’s a huge concern for me.
If this is all possible, cool. If not, is it because no one pair of headphones can do all I listed with my requirements or is it that my budget isn’t high enough? I saw these recommended in another thread, would they fit my needs?
