Recently the mic in my Corsair Void Surround headset(wired) has gave out. While I could probably go through a complicated warranty process, I'm not really trying to put in any effort into a replacement headset that has already had complications within less than a year. 

 

I'm looking for headset that is has dolby surround or at least emulates it well, has an attached mic, can be worn for a long period of time, and a plus would be it being comfortable while wearing glasses.

The preferred budget is in the range of $50-$100 but if there is a decent cheaper headset, then I wouldn't mind the mention.

 

Anyone have any recommendations?

Those look great honestly. Do they have a included software? It's not a deal-breaker if they don't, just curious.

There's no software for them, no.

 

Though I can vouch for everything about them. They're super comfy, mic sounds good and glasses fit under the cups alright

Cooler master mh752  based off the takstar pro 82  a better headphone than the cloud 2 sounds better and is more comfortable. For reference the cloud 2 is based off of the takstar pro 80.  Not that the cloud 2 is at all bad though

Ayy, my corsair void pro usb mic also broke, I'm using a HS70 now. Same sound quality, better mic.

Cheap too, at 60$.

By the way, there is basically no headset on the website that has above an 8.5, so the 7.3 is actually quite good, unlike IGN which only gives 8/10,9/10, and 10/10, even when the game crashes every 5 mins.

Yeah, and the MH752 + midmic is double the price of a HS70.

Oh lol, but it is still more expensive, and modmics are also expensive, so unless the headphone is 20$, they are going to be more expensive.

cant say about the quality, as I have not head them

The best headphones for gaming will always be headphones but unfortunately a good separate mic and headphone is more expensive than a $100 stick with the MH 752.. the takstar pro 82 drivers in tem are excellent for the money and the mic is a nice bonus
