Headset replacement suggestions.

[Khoomn]

Long story short, have had my arctis 7s 2019 edition for around 5 years now, in recent, the wireless part of the headset has been kinda dying and dropping connection a lot, tried replacing usb dongle but it still happens, headset problem. Just about 10 minutes ago i take my headset off and my ear cup has fallen off, now i could just buy replacement ear muffs and call it a day but at this point I might as well buy a new headset. I absolutely love my Arctis 7s and honestly, wouldnt mind buying brand new ones, but I might as well try something new.

 

I'm looking for any headset recommendations with the following critera:

Around $100-150

WIRELESS!!!!

Decent/good bass

7.1 surround sound

Mic included (doesnt have to be the greatest but also not trash)

 

Thats about it, if I think of any more requirements ill update it but thats literally all I need. The last time I looked into headsets was when I was buying my current one and haven't kept up with anything since so I have no clue whats good and not.

All these criterias don't even go together to make a good headphone. You won't get good bass or even good sound from a gaming headset with virtual surround. If you are going to get something new and try something different you should go wired. That is my advice and I don't know any good wireless headsets.

I'm also under the same impression that you could benefit from trying a dedicated headphone + microphone combo rather than "gaming-style" headsets. If you still REQUIRE wireless and virtual surround sound with an attached mic... I'm sure someone else can chime in with some recommendations. My buddy (prior to him converting to dedicated headphones+mic) used to rave about the hyper X headsets. Back like ~15 years ago I remember Turtle Beaches being the bees knees.

 

If you haven't heard of the modmic, take a look at that for turning wired headphones into a "headset" style if you don't like the idea of having a usb/xlr microphone.
