Need a new headset for the 6th time

Tatsurion53 · February 4

So I have been gaming for a long time and for few years I have been going through headsets like they are water. I literally have tried them a wide range of them from buying $20-$40 random name brand headsets (like the Ozeino Gaming Headset) to spending $60- $100 name brand headset razer or turtle beach, Logitech. what took the cake was that In December of 2023 I spent $130(with warranty) on a HyperX Cloud II and just an hour ago it broke at the ear band shroud that keeps the metal arm in the band. like I barely had this headset for 2 months and it's broken. It just seems like the more expensive I go the faster I breaks. the only reason why I choose the hyper cloud 2 was because it had a metal band. since the last headset(razer brand) broke at the ear piece and the one before that broke in half dead center. another headset also broke when the mic stopped working. could someone please steer me to a headset that is wired, built in mic, decent features(like surround or noise cancelation) and has the will to live for more than 2 months

Just wanna clarify all I do with the head set is have it on my head and once I'm not using it it goes on a headset stand. also the reason why I would like a mic on the headset is because I do game on a console with some buds along with play on the pc. also sorry for the incorrect grammar and spelling. currently typing this late at night and am just getting over a cold.

I use the Logitech g pro x wireless headset and I have been for the last 2 years and it served me well so I definitely recommend that one or the new model cause they both seem similar and even through the price might be a bit much it definitely is worth it so I would suggest getting either that or a astro headset as a lot of my friends have them and have had good experiences with them

You might want to think about going separate pieces, like standalone mic and a rugged headphone. I would look at the beyerdynamic dt770 32ohm because they apparently offer all of the pieces as replacement. Also if you get a 3.5mm mic like the antlion it can be combined with the headphones for the console. I'm not console savy enough but I think this goes to the controller which I doubt would put out much power. For a doubling in price you could look at the dt700 pro x which has a higher sensitivity.

Because you are talking about reliability is the only reason I'm highlighting Beyerdynamic, because above all others they are known for such a thing. I just saw this MMX300 that could be a good option
