I want to get the two guys I game with new headsets. They are using old turtle beachs from our console days. Started looking at logitech but read a bunch of bad reviews. Corsair seems to have huge issues and I know nothing about razor. I'm not looking to drop a bunch of money I just need good headset. As of now I can hear everything in the background and feedback like loud buzzing. I know they can fix this by plugging the usb into a port that is not on the pc but they are lazy. Help me out just trying to be a good friend. Also I am no better I got my bluetooth xp 400 TB set up for wireless on my pc. They work and I put a bunch of time into getting them to work.

Anything with built in mic? While I would love to change to headset and mic, they won't. Reasons that I will get.

-Why?

-Sounds like more cables

-That's stupid

Yea but headphones have better sound quality. And the microphones are better quality too.

Get the Kingston HyperX clouds for a headset

headsets usually sound really shitt for what you pay for them, a separate mic just gives you more quality for your money.

Yeah I get that but they won't and I don't want to waste my time explaining it and then having to set up and troubleshoot. I just need a headset/mic combo.

Turtle Beach PX22 or HyperX Cloud II

Please don't go with turtle beaches, HyperX clouds are as good as they get though

I have PX22 and the sound is great. The mic is also the best I have heard from headsets. If you want a little more comfortableness (not sure if that's a word just didn't know what to say there otherwise) then go with the HyperX Cloud II.

HyperX Clouds are your best bang for the buck headsets and are honestly very comfortable. You can get them for around 60-80 bucks on sale which is within your budget. They look very aesthetically pleasing with white/black or red/black.

 

Cloud2's if you want the 7.1 virtual surround sound for an extra 20 bucks.. but in my opinion.. the Cloud1's are the better deal.

 

I own the cloud1's and previously owned the siberia v2's.
