For some reason I have gone over 10 years now (started online gaming when cod4 released) without ever buying a headset. I always used the earpieces that came with the systems Playing Modern warfare now and realized it’s pretty much a must.

Do y’all have any recommendations? I would like to not spend over $100. Thanks

You can what you need in the $60-80 range. Hyperx, Corsair, and Logitech all make good ones for that price.

I dont reccomend the Razer ManOwar. Heavy, clunky and dont like the sound or interface.

My favs are the Roccat Kave 5.1 but they are discontinued I believe

This is from a non-audiophile so take that for what its worth

Do you talk to people? If not definitely go with a non-gaming headset. Much better value.

Like others have said I'd go with HyperX I go this around two years ago and haven't had any problems. Very comfortable and although not completely wireless it only plugs into the aux jack on my controller. Doesn't drain my controllers battery either. My only complaint is it doesn't have the option to turn the volume up or down from the aux cord, you'd have to spend a little more for that.

I still rock my HD598 with antlion mod mic. I believe Senheiser has updated to the HD599’s now though.

If you don’t want to spend over $100 and want wireless you can’t go wrong with the Arctis 7. I’ve moved on to a non gaming setup, but the Arctis 7 was fantastic for what it was.

I've been using Logitech G430s for awhile. The first pair broke (the piece that connects the headband part to the right ear snapped, but this was after three years of use probably). Got another pair though when Amazon had them for $35. I eventually want to just get high quality headphones though and a desk microphone instead.

What are you gaming on? Xbox, PC PS4? I'm currently using
HyperX Cloud Revolver S . If you are running PC or PS4 you can take advantage of the USB sound connection. They still sound fantastic plugged into the Xbox controller though. I think I paid around $140.. but Amazon has them listed for $94.00-116.00 right now. If you are ok with wired..trust me they are the best bang for the buck at that price..You will not be disappointed..
