I am looking for a headphone for the following purposes (to use in a desktop computer).
Chatting (skype, gtalk...)
Listening to audios (can be from audio files like mp3, wav and from video files like avi, mp4...)
1. The audio, I mean the lyrics in the songs or the speech in the video or the conversation I have when chatting has to be super clear. I don't mind much about the music in the songs or bgm. Clarity of the voice is important.
2. It should have a mic. Not necessarily a protruding type.
3. It's better to have a sound adjustment in the headphone rather than me adjusting them in media player or in PC
4. Lengthy cable. The one I have is about 6ft long.
5. The ear cups should be big enough to cover my whole ears and the sound shouldn't go out even if the sound is full. (That doesn't mean I want full sound to be low
)
This is the one I am using.

6. Long life
I have used about 10 headphones (including in-ear-headphones) in the last 6 years. I don't remember any one of them last more than a year. After few months, one side of the headphone speaker would go kaput. Then I had to buy a new one. All these years I have been using an el cheapo headphones costs about ~200 or less. I really want a durable one.
I don't have a clear budget. Please don't suggest something in thousands. Stick with 3 digit figure. Even a 1000 rupee headphone doesn't last long, then there is no point in paying that much money. I would rather stick with the cheapo ones.
Open to suggestion, advice, comments...
Thank you.
