$200 Audio and Mic Solution

[ddswh1pk0s]

Hey guys right now I have a Logitech G430 headset, I don't have any complaints about it just thought of an idea that would better suit my needs.

 

So I was thinking, maybe around Christmas time, of upgrading my headset. My budget is $200.

 

I heard that for the same price, you can buy a higher quality headset with no microphone and then buy a desktop microphone that is better than one on a headset.

 

If this is possible, what combination of headphones and desktop microphone would you guys recommend for around $200 AUD?

If this is not possible, what do you guys think of the Hyper X Cloud 2 headset?

 

Thanks in advance

For the microphone I would highly recommend something such as this: (AT2020USB)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AS6OYC/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me= (You can find it on ebay for a bit cheaper, and every now and then it goes on sale for around $120)

 

Then maybe get something like the audio technica ath-m30x headphones, I've got the m20x and they're amazing, I'm sure the m30x are even more amazing (Also ordered the AT2020USB on wednesday when it was $130)

I'd go with the sennheiser HD 518's which are 139 in Aus then some sort of desktop mic.

I think he wants to spend $200 AUD on the headphones and microphone combined, not each. O:

Ah AUD.. then that's a different story lol.

 

But the ATH-M30Xs are only like $80 USD or so last I heard.

 

I've got no clue what australian pricing on stuff is so...

That headset looks really good! Thanks!

 

Now just need a desktop microphone... Will a $10 potato desktop mic sound better or equal to the mic on a gaming headset, specifically a Logitech G430?

Probably going to buy the headset then the mic at a later date

 

Thanks
