New gaming headset, suggestions?

[as96]

Yesterday my headset died, now I need a new one, I have €90, I want to buy on Amazon.it.

 

I've found the Razer Kraken Pro and the Corsair 1500 V2 are they good? and what about the Logitech g430 and 230?

They need to be comfortable and have a good sound quality in game,the microphone doesn't need to be that good, my friends don't really care

[Kaasgeelheid]

Especially if the microphone doesn't have to be that great (not that they are on headsets), I would get pair of headphones and pair it with a clip on mic (like the Zalman ZM-MIC1) or a generic desktop microphone.

 

First headphone that comes to mind for that budget is the Sennheiser HD518, you might want to check out the Pioneer SE-A1000 as well. 

 

Stay away from headsets in general.

I prefer having the mic integrated

I think all those you listed are considered relatively good.

The keyword is 'relatively'...

Indeed, for a headset.

What do you prefer, having an overall higher quality product, or simply an integrated mic? If it's the latter I'm afraid I can't help you.

[as96]

If the quality is really bad then I accept suggestions for headphones, though if there is a good headset let me know.

 

Thanks a lot, remember that I use them a lot so they need to be comfortable, btw the Pioneer SE-A 1000 costs €75 on amazon.it (just to let you know any eventual price difference, and sorry if my english is not that good)

Well, there are actually good headsets (with mic), like PC360 or ADG1. I think it's double the budget though....

Yeah, I was talking about headsets available in his budget. And then still, headsets like the Audio Technicas and the Beyerdynamics are way too expensive for what they are, a headphone with a mic slapped on.

This I agree. I think the ADG1 is basically an AD900x + (supposedly) good mic. While the AD900x is $140, the ADG1 is $321, both are amazon prices. So yeah, overpriced.....

Do you have a pair of headphones whose sound you like?

because id just get those and stick a modmic on it. Their pretty close to having an integrated mic.

Look on the classifieds someone has a pair of Sennheiser PC360 headphones for $150 that should sound better than most gaming headsets out there. I would also recommend the Razer Carcharis.

You can get a good pair of headphones then attach a vmoda boom cable.

Don't but Turtle beach stuff though, mine broke after 1 year.

That would be me but shipping to Europe is expensive. My guess would be around $40 extra.

Plantronics RIG, if you can stretch it.

[StrifeWolfe]

I used the Corsair 1500v2 right now and I have no major complaints, they do what they need to do for their price. 

[NannerBeans]

I think your best option is Pioneer SE-A1000 for open and Sennheiser 439 for closed. I looked through that site for headphones in your price range and those were the best options.

My budget is reduced to €50, so i'm going with the logitech g230.

Thanks anyway, maybe for my birthday I will get a nice headphone + mic. 

I'm using the integrated sound card so probably the audio wasn't all that good even with €200 headphones  :unsure:
