Wireless Headset options

So I'm looking for the best wireless headset option for under $120 USD.

 

The obvious choice is the Corsair Vengeance 2100 vs Logitech G930. Somehow, NO comparison videos of these exist on youtube!! So I was hoping to find user-feedback for both headsets.

 

On top of that, any other wireless headset recommendations are welcome. I don't know of any other big shot wireless headsets myself, so if you know any please let me know, even if it's not under that price ceiling.

 

Thanks!

I would actually reccomend this http://en-us.sennheiser.com/audio-headphones-stereo-wireless-120-ii

and a mic like the blue snowball or something.

 

With the price ceiling thing, I would also say this for $200 lol http://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-audio-headphones-digital-rs-160

Why would I bother with wireless headphones if I had to sit at my desk to use the microphone..? I know dedicated headphones and microphones are better and I plan on having a beastly set of both one day, but I want something that I can also wear to chat with people while doing things around the house.

The Corsair and Logitech are really your only options, but I haven't heard anyone on LTT say they've owned both. :/

Ehhh pick your poison. I think the corsair is better but has build quality issues.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.

I don't necessarily need people with both, but accounts of each headset from individual people would be nice.

Hm, that's pretty worrying. It doesn't matter how nice a headset is if it breaks too quickly.

All headsets especially wireless all have durability issues but I think the Corsair one is kinda notorious for it. Not sure how long the Logitech one will last.

With disregard to the sound quality issues, the Logitechs will last a few months longer before the same hinge issues occurs (Thats if something else doesn't break first)

That seems backwards, wireless headsets should last longer than wired as there's no risk of a wire tug happening. :\

 

 

 

I'm really interested in hearing about any audio/mic issues on either headset especially, though. Like the connection, dropouts and such, I'm worried of having issues like that too.

The problem stems from the fact that you have to pay for the wireless function, and on products that cost less then about 300ish bux, you get sound quality issues, connectivity issues, and my favorite build issues. All because the companies want to make the same profit of the cheaper products.

Removable cable.

What everyone else already said plus batteries are a weak point in wireless. Wire tug is actually not that big of a problem especially if you know how to solder and many headphones do have a removable cable making it even easier.
