Which headset should i get?

[NicoPietje]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a good headset for playing competitive games like tarkov and listening to music.
I've been looking around for so long but nothing so far has satisfied what I want in a headset.
My budget is 250 euros, it does not need 7.1 sound but I would like a headset which are good for hearing footsteps.
I've seen some studio headphones but they usually dont have a mic and I need to get an amp and a separate mic which is something I don't really like.
In the past I've used the logitech g933, hyper x cloud 2 and astro a50. I personally didn't like the sound on the a50's and the g933 had too many problems with the software for me.

I hope someone could help me out.

Thanks in advance.

I'd see how expensive some drop hd58x jubilee's are perhaps, but I don't know about the imaging on them, and a modmic.

get a pair of studio headphones and a mod mic. Better audio quality for the money, and you get a microphone. In the range of 250euro, sennheiser and audio technica have good options.

Yeah I've been searching for something like that but the modmic's usually break in 3-5 months according to the reviews..

I’ve had my modmic for about 6-7 and still going strong 

 

get a desk mic if you don’t want one of those

I recommend the Cooler Master MH752 its better than the Hyperx cloud 2 and it does have an actual sound stage 

and here is a video consider what I mean 

and you can hear the footsteps and from my experience Its super smooth in the music the bass and everything else and super comfortable for long time use I put it on for like 7-9 hours and still comfortable 

the firmware is easy and good 

I hope that I helped : )

Damn looks pretty good I'm going to look a little bit more into it but since they're pretty cheap too this might be the one, thank you!

One more question, should I use an amp or something like that with it?

Do you mean the firmware ?

No i mean like a separate amp but I see that the headset already has ony itself,
I've seen the hyperX cloud orbit s as well, what do you think about that one?

You have a large budget, really there's no perfect headphone for it 

990's and a schiit stack would be my go

With Hyperx I have problems with the firmware I find it sometimes difficult and not easy for some people I havent tried them but for that price I would go with the Logitech G pro x

Thank you for the response Slottr,
Since my budget is around 250 euros, i'm thinking about getting the 770 or the 990, it just depends on the amp im getting.
If i get a modmic with it which is 100 euros, and the 770 or 990 which are both 125 euros, i will hit my budget pretty quickly and im unsure if I will be able to get an amp.
I live in the netherlands and 100 euros for a modmic is the cheapes i could find.

Personally I use Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro (studio grade headphones), great quality headphones and if you go for the 80Ohm versions no need for an external amp, however you would still need a mic.
