Hey guys,

 

I have my kinda decent Steelseries 4H for a year now, but it starts to break down a little, the left side doesn't work when the volume is maxed with the contoller. So I want to buy a new headset soon and since I got (almost) no knowledge about audio hardware it would be cool if I could get some advice from you guys! I live in the Netherlands and my budget is around €60-€80 ($80-$100).

 

Thanks in advance!

 

P.s. sorry for my bad English

Don't fanboy out. He is asking for a headSET, not headPHONES. 

 

Try looking at the hyperx cloud

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Sennheiser also makes Headsets, anything from audio technica would also be good, I use audio technica right now

Maybe a veeery stupid question but what's the difference? :P

 

edit: found it, I will look at the hyperx and some audio technica, they seem good to me. Thanks!

Astro A40's are great and very comfortable. They are not audiophile quality however. And no, I am not a console peasant that is a fan of COD and drinks Mountain Dew. *cough PC master race cough*

Bro he only has 100usd to spend not 200 -_-

I assume u don't have a soundcard so I'm gonna recommend u USB ones

Consider these(USB with built in soundcard)

Cosair vengeance series

Logitech g430

Creative headsets

If no USB then get

Kingston hyperx cloud

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
