Shamelessly quoted from a post on head-fi:

The answer to all the threads here asking about the ultimate gaming headset, which so far didn't exist:

fixed. we shouldn't be hotlinking images as per section 14 of the [H]ardforum rules. thx. ---- magnetik

Supposedly, it's meant for aviation use, but if the microphone is easily driven, I can see lots of serious gamers wanting 35 dB isolation and excellent sound and build quality.

It is mentioned that the HS-300 is going to cost the same, or less, than the Sennheiser HME 100, which retails at $299. Not too bad, actually.

It looks like it's even possible to customize it via the Beyer Manufacture...

Pretty cool.

It's a 2006 DT-770, which is one of, if not the, best gaming headphone on the market, with a built in mic.

I don't want to see any more threads asking for "Best gaming headset?", understood? :D

EDIT:
Thanks magnetik.

Where's the soft velour ear pads? I wonder if leather is just an option, or if its just standard.... and if velour is an option.

Still, if you could have a dt770pro with a mic built on, that's pretty cool!

Each one is ordered customized with what ever pad you want and even engraved aluminum bands...

YOU didn't read your own post did you? :)

Exactly DT-770s or close to it? They may have changed the acoustics to reproduce voices better for aviation, thereby making them not so great.

From the Beyer Dynamic distributor in Norway:
The HS-300's will have excactly the same systems/drivers as found in DT-770 Premium, and the signal path is straigth-forward without any filtering or electronics involved. There will be a small pre-amp for the microphone mounted inside though..

I don't understand why people just don't get a nice pair of headphones, and a $10 dollar stand up mic from best buy? I come in nice a clear with mine on vent.
 
I use my webcam and sennheiser 595s

though my senns are getting torn up from wear and tear, and the 10foot cable is a bit much, so I might be interested in this.

and my grandfather is a pilot so I know they won't be putting 10 foot cables on these or else some serious accidents may happen from wires getting caught on rudder controls.
 
wow...wish I would have seen this before I got my DT770-80's, but I don't use the mic much and I'm loving them anyways :)
 
Well, looks like you can get the base model for about 260$ shipped from beyer direct on their updated manufaktur site.
http://www.beyerdynamic.com/cms/manufaktur.1456.0.html#

With the soft velour ear pads (either grey or black), it just adds 10$us to the price.

For 270$ shipped, that's a bit more than most average gamers are willing to spend, but still... I bet these are the be all to end all headset for gaming!
Ye ha!

If I was a pro gamer, ide snatch a pair.
 
True, but my $20 logitech wal mart headphones have served me well for 3 years, may not be the best quality, but I dont see where the $300 gaming headphones come into play. They must be ridiculously good or something.
 
hmmm i like stick it out till more people try it out. Im fine with my AT cans. The Cans will prolly last a long time but i dont know about the mic. Senn pc150/ steelsound anyone?
 
I'd rather have my 5.1 headset (set x-fi to 5.1 and enable CMSS-3d and all games are surround sound).
 
ZXcs, there is just about no way I would want a 5.1 headset over those beyers (unless they finally made one that is equivalent in audio quality.

Especially since the X-FI can Do CMSS 3d properly on 2 channel cans, and these are much better than any 5.1 set out currently IMO.
