New Gaming Headset

"New" as in you have a headset but are upgrading? If so, why go so cheap?

 

For 30GBP it's hard to find decent headphones without sacrificing quality or features, but starting 40GBP I could give you a solid option.

 

Same with theming (colors), you don't really get to choose color much if you go real low on the budget.

current PC:

For slightly more, you can have headset that's actually sort of worth it's price,

 

at least, if you're looking for those that go around ears and close them, and mic, and good sound,

 

then for about 40GBP, you'd find this:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/rVgQzy/steelseries-arctis-1-headset-61427

 

The only downside would be quality of pads, though the Arctis 1 might have one that could survive for longer than Logitech, as the Logitech uses cheap leader coating on the cups.

 

If you're a user that cares about their peripherals (doesn't throw them, smash them, etc. on walls when for example you get angry because of videogame), these can last up to 2-4+ years.
