Best headsets/headphones and mics for Arma 3?

I'm currently using G933 but they are crapping out after only half a year of buying them, I'm looking for a good headset or headphones and mic. I want 7.1 surround sound either in headset or sound card/motherboard, so I can tell where the shots are coming from. I have an MSI 970A-G43 Plus. I read that it'd be better to get headphones and an external mic rather than a headset. I'M NOT LOOKING AT PRICE TAGS RIGHT NOW, I'm just looking for good quality.

I use the Logitech G430. Very nice with a reasonable cost (less than these fancy pants with their $80-$120 headphones). It has a built on microphone, but I use the Blue Yeti.

Yeah Hyper X cloud II is what I am using, they have a newer version that looks like it might be the new winner for best headset how ever. 

 

Hyper X Cloud II <-- I use this one

Hyper X Revolver S <-- Hyper X newer headset

 

You will notice the Hyper X Revolver is like $20 or $30 cheaper, I believe the difference is the 7.1 dolby surround sound. Spend the extra money or go with the Cloud II

I've got the Hyper X Cloud as well, excellent headset. But, when I switched to my Sennheiser 373D I have yet to look back, but then again, the price difference is something like 150-180 USD, so yeah. For a good headset that you won't have to worry about for a long time, definitely the Hyper X Cloud, however if you want something on the top end, you can't beat Sennheiser or Audio-technica headsets

I dont think theres any headset/headphones and mics for specialized for Arma 3 based on your question, if it works on one game or anything it should work just as fine with Arma 3.

 

Its like asking "What is the best headset/headphones and mics for Pornhub?"

 

Although having a 7.1 headset might give you a slight advantage, but if you're not used to hearing different channels then you probably gonna get disoriented.

For all those who said that there aren't headset/headphone and mics specialized for arma 3, I didn't mean specialized for it I meant the ones you like the best when playing Arma 3. Obviously 7.1 surround sound is a must, I figure most are gonna be virtual surround sound as headsets with 7 drivers is too expensive. I'm thinking of getting the AT2020 I plan on using it to record gameplay as well as use it as a mic for Arma 3.

Hyper X Cloud is an amazing headset for around 110$ depending where you buy it.

If you are looking for a cheaper option is the Turtle Beach Ear Force Recon 50X which is about 45 - 50$.

I just utilize the Pony Express and send a letter to Capt Gage in Texas (Usually takes a month or so one way). Always worked fine for me. Kids these days....

I personally use the Kingston HyperX Cloud Core headset. Great sound with good highs and lows (neodymium speaker magnets) and a good quality mic. Can pick them up for about $80CDN shipping included.

 

If you have money, ODell's idea is generally best. I would go with Senheisser headphones with angled drivers and a good quality third party mic that attaches to the headphones.
