Sup, so I have a cheap and good pair of headphones, that have lasted me for some three years, but now they're experiencing audio balancing issues on the right and left channel, so I had to use these yesterday, instead. The SHM1900 isn't very comfortable (and no hardware mute button), so I'm considering either:
A) The SHM7410U/97 again
B) The Cooler Master Ceres 300
C) Ceres 500
D) Something better?
I'd like it for both decent music and gaming, would like inline volume and mute. Both Ceres headsets have larger drivers and higher sensitivity than the Philips one. The Ceres 500 has a USB connection and an inline DAC, but I don't know whether it'll be better or worse than motherboard audio (old Realtek ALC888S). I don't know whether the console mode thing works with a PC Xbox 360 controller, either (I don't think so). I also don't know whether the Ceres headsets use neodymium magnets like the Philips one, but I'd assume that's what most headsets use anyway, especially at that price.
Any suggestions? What do you folks use? I'm open to spending a bit (INR 5000 tops, ~$80) as these things last me years, usually.
Thanks! :*

As mentioned in that other thread Wolf and I both use these

The black ones are always cheaper than the white ones, dunno why but it is a great headset and they are just under 5000 rupee there.
