Hey guys. I'm looking to get a new gaming headset as my turtle beach px21 just died. I'm looking to spend $200 maybe up to $250. I'm in Australia aswell.

Was looking at the Razer 7.1 headset

Maybe corsair h2100.

Would like some recommendations cheers

You can get good headphones and good mic for summ $200, the quality will be far better, than any headset, especially when talking about 'gaming' stuff.

or a pair of headphones + a mod mic. (this will be much better than any "gaming" headset out there)

I don't really want a separate headphones and mic. Are the higher end turtle beach sets any good?

If you absolutely must have a headset, even the original HyperX Cloud is still amazing but on the "higher end" of your budget you should take a look at Sennheiser G4ME Zero (closed) and One (open).

It's trerrible. All headsets are terrible except for the Kingston.

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.

So I grabbed a set of the kingston Hyperx clouds yesterday arvo when I got my corsair air 540. Spent 6 hours or more gaming with them. They are comfy and sounds pretty good.. I'm was impressed with all the accessories they came with.
