I am going to start streaming and so i need a headset with decent mic quality and good audio quality but for around £20, i know this is really cheap but i am really ow on cash at this present time. Mic quality is important but i don't want horrible muffled sounds in my ears when i play games so the sound needs to be at least decent.

 

Would appreciate some suggestions, Thanks

I got these last week and love them, the sound is better than £80 - £100 pairs i've had in the past, and the Sensus bass vibration is awesome.

Can you tell me how the mic quality is?

Works absolutely fine mate, i use Teamspeak with a close-knit group of gaming buddies, and they said it sounds fine.

Walk into the store, go to the headset section, and pick the cheapest one off the shelf.

They are shite, they can't produce certain frequencies correctly, and just produce static. I've got a pair of them sat on the back of my desk right now.

They sound just as good as anything else in that price range but the microsoft has a surprisingly good mic and typically won't break.

Honestly everything at 20 pounds is bad so I would just pick up the Microsoft lifechat for the durablilty until you can afford something better. At that price, pretty much everything is bad at everything.
