Looking for a headset

[BatFastard99]

Hi there, i'm looking for a headset under £200. Wondering if I could get some help with that. Thanks in advance

Do you absolutely need a headset, or are you willing to consider a good pair of headphones with a desktop mic?

For that price I would recommend getting a set of headphones and a mic. Would you be open to this option? 

[BatFastard99]

I've never had a desktop mic before, I kinda dont like the idea of  the mic getting in the way of my screen. But im down for both options.

you could get a mic that clips on the cord like the zalman mic1 and if you want open headphones i would recommend the HD558s or if you don't mind the color i would get the HD598

Unless he like bass heavy music, then he should get the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms.

AntLion's ModMic ships internationally, or you can do a simple mod involving a zip-tie and a Zalman clip on:

 

 

 

For a desktop mic, the Blue Snowball gets the most recommendations and the iCE version is cheapest. The Samson CO1U and CAD U37 are good alternate options. I'd recommend a boom arm to get the mic closer to your mouth, but it's not 100% necessary. 

 

As per specific headphone recommendations, the AKG K612 and the aforementioned Sennheisers are all priced nicely.

Thanks for all of your suggestions is their any headsets with a built in mic that you could also reccomend? As I would like to compare them.

Kingston hyperx is the only headset in that price range I believe. Unless sennheiser has headsets at that price.

[BatFastard99]

Also are the Sennheisers noise cancelling?

Oh, no. Do you need noise isolation? I'd have to vote for the Lindy HF-100 or ATH-A500X in that case.

 

As per the headsets for comparison, Nanner's HyperX is a good option and I personally kinda liked the Plantronics RIG.

[BatFastard99]

I highly prefer noise cancelling headsets, but the senheisers look cool

It's basically an HD 380 Pro + a microphone, meaning you're paying over £100 just to have the integrated mic on the G4ame Zero. If you're willing to spend your money that way, go ahead - it'll be better than anything by a gaming company.
