Greetings people. I'm in need of some headset recommendations as my good ol' g430 years have finally caught up. I can't hear any sounds in the left-side of it unless I put the wire in a certain position.

Can't complain though, it has been with me three years and went through some good falls. Amazing sound quality and all.

 

Therefore, I need a new headset. I could technically get the same one ( G433 since the G430 isn't on amazon anymore and I presume they're almost identical, maybe just a slightly updated version ).

But I'd like to check the other options as well since there are probably better ones nowadays.

 

The price range I'm looking at would be under 85€ if possible. I don't want to spend more because I've got only two kidneys. 50€ would be the perfect price, but I don't mind if I have to go slightly higher.

 

Worth mentioning that I don't have a DAC / AMP setup, so keep it in mind.

 

The headset I'm looking for has to have a microphone ( a decent one ), as I don't have a standalone one, and the best audio quality possible ( for its price of course ). Apart from playing videogames, I also enjoy listening to music so I'd like something decent for that as well. It should be something like the G430 in terms of quality since I'm happy with it.

 

I was looking around for some options and I've come across a few of 'em: 

- Logitech G Pro X.

- Razer Kraken X.

- Corsair HS35.

- Fnatic React.

- G433 ( this would be the last but also best option, since I know its quality and wouldn't be let down  ).

 

Let me know about the ones I've mentioned. Other suggestions are appreciated, but keep in mind that I'm from Italy ( and I use amazon, I don't really want to use anything else ), so some options might be either unavailable or more expensive.

Maybe it's too expensive but the Steelseries Arctis Pro + GameDAC has fantastic audio (when using the 24bit mode) and the mic is alright too.

MH751's go for your upper bracket price every month or so. Wait for that and get those.

Seems good, but it's waaaay out of my budget, it's around 250€. Maybe one day though.

I've heard good things about it, might as well wait for the price drop ( 90€ as of now ) unless I find more interesting options for lower. Thank you for the suggestion.

Cloud 2's are always a safe bet, you should be able to find those on sale for 80ish 

Mh752's or 751's are more refined and worth it.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.
