Headset Choice Help

xkelley0529 · July 6, 2014

Hey guys I have been looking around for a headset that is $60 (USD) or less. Now I really like Razer so for me it is between the Kraken or the Electra. I'm using them mostly for gaming/Youtube/music. I would also like to be able to use them for mobile, so the in-line mic on the Electra is definitely a selling point for me. Which ones do you guys think I should use? Or do you guys think that I should not use Razer and go to a different brand, if so leave suggestions please.

most of the answers you are going to get is to go with a headphone and separate mic, why? Because you are going to found good sound from products by audio companies. Don't get me wrong, Razer is not bad, their products have a lot of thought on them and good quality, but on the sound department they only add a good design and a pricetag, the good audio quality is not to be found.

The Superlux 681b can be found right now on Amazon for $30, and they will sound better than the razer products you mentioned. Get a mic, clip on, modded to the headphone or dedicated with a little stand. You get a better sound experience that way.

Another good choice is the Sennheiser HD 419, you are getting the good stuff there. If you can get extra $10 to spend, the Audio Technica ATX-M30x are well worth it.
