Alright, so I am going for this quite extreme high-end setup this summer, but the only issue I have, as of right now, is the god damn headset.

I play professional Call of Duty, and regular CS:GO. For me, it's important to be able to hear my enemies footsteps, even behind walls, but at the same time, I want a comfortable headset. Don't get me wrong, the ability to be able to hear footsteps, is the most important feature in my opinion, but at the same time, I wanna be able to play for hours, without my head and ears begin to hurt.

I have been looking for a while, and I have found a few, but they are all Open-Headset designs. I don't know much about Open-Head designs, other than the fact, you can hear it pretty much as loud, as the one who wears the headset, or is that over exaggerated? I don't want to annoy anyone while gaming, or watching movies, but at the same time, I want the most comfortable and best sound headsets.

I have found these two:

1. Sennheiser PC 363D
2. Sennheiser PC 373D

The only trouble I have, is the fact that they are open designs, so what are your thoughts? I would be glad, if you would come with suggestions, but without mentioning any price or anything. I will be willing to spend well over 200-400$ on a headset. Won't go below 200$. Anyways, thanks for reading, please give me some suggestions and recommendations! :)
