gaming headphone Best Gaming Headphones under $50?

[JoeCool9]

I've been using a single Walmart checkout line earbud for the past 2 years, and need an upgrade, but I'm not sure what to go with. I have a dedicated Blue Snowball microphone, so I'm not really looking for a headset, more for headphones/headset with a removable mic. Thanks for the help!

Used Sibera 200, super cheap and solid, can just buy replacement ear cushions as well.

Actually the Arctis 1 wired headphones just came out, I assume this is replacing the Sibera 200s

 

Not too many reviews, my Arctis 7 wireless has been solid.

After some thinking, I'm thinking of going with these https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hyperx-cloudx-pro-wired-gaming-headset-for-xbox-one-black/6233106.p?skuId=6233106&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=395&ref=212&loc=1&ds_rl=1260666&ds_rl=1266837&ds_rl=1268709&ds_rl=1266837&gclid=Cj0KCQjwoKzsBRC5ARIsAITcwXEEVQ1wyBiCt9DTHsqVs3Z4tIG5al7gYjru0YtoWeeuj0XOq1onR2caAi5REALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds They're on sale, look great, and will hopefully sound great too. If you have any better suggestions please let me know!

Not the massdrop ones I have tried to original ones by Koss and they were very good for the price. These are supposed to be better.

Ok, I'll do a bit more research on em and see what else I can find. One thing I keep seeing is 7.1 Surround Sound. Are headphones with this better than the Stereos like the Cloud Core? I also saw something about being able to make Stereo headphones surround sound...

that depend if it's a cheap chinese knock off with virtual suround no if its a generally better headphone that so happens to have 7.1 surround then its a better headphone.you can get the same effect with software from razer, dolby atmos for headphones or HEsuvi
