Hello!

I'm looking for a budget gaming headset to Skype my friends, watching YouTube, gaming and a bit of music. I am not asking for major high quality expensive gaming headset, all I want is a headset that is usable for my uses that where listed earlier and most of all will last me a fair amount of time. I'm not going to have a set budget, but I want a cheap price. I am running Windows 10 64bit if that is of any help.

Merry Christmas and thanks for reading.

Is £50 concidered budget for headphones if I don't want it to break in 5 seconds? Sorry - I don't really buy headphones and sorry if I sound sarcastic or anything, I'm not.

I currently have a pair of logitech g430, while they dont have the best sound they are very cheap and would work perfectly for your uses
