Hi i'm looking for a headset that is from $100 to $150 dollars, a replaceable cord would be nice. They need to be super comfortable. I also would like them to have a 3.5mm jack or if it's USB it needs to be able to work with my ps4 and my pc. They don't need to be wireless. Audio quality is nice but not my top concern. Thanks for your help in advance.

If your concern is comfy,  I tried the steelseries siberia650 b4, it is SUPER COMFORTABLE.....

You can give it a try at a retail store.

Also I suggest you go there and try the product yourself, no matter what you buy.

Do not watch for advertisement or youtube unboxing only, it could be bias, and therefore not very subjective.

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

That ones a little more expensive than I'd like to spend but thanks for the suggestion. And I will definately try to try on any headset before I get it.

No that the old version. Have a look at hyperx clouds.

In the 100$ bracket, HyperX Cloud is pretty much the go-to choice. It's comfortable, it's closed back, it's got a detachable mic.

 

Also please, please do not buy a headset with fucking lights on it. That's dumb. The manufacturers need to be clearly told that they are being fucktards by putting lights on everything and charging you extra for looking like a talking discoball on your Twitch stream that only your mom watches. And she only watches it to make sure you're not watching porn all day.

I own and use, sorted from newest to oldest: SteelSeries 6Gv2. Microsoft SideWinder X4. Mionix Naos 7000. Zowie EC1 Evo. Microsoft SideWinder X8. Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0. Dell U2414H. Samsung P2270H. AKG K273 Pro. Sennheiser HD555. Razer Goliathus Speed Medium. Func 1030 L. Qpad CT Medium.

I used to own: Razer DeathAdder 3G. Razer Krait. IntelliMouse Optical 1.1. SteelSeries QcK.

If you insist on getting a headset instead of headphones + desktop microphone, I would recommend the Philips SHP9500 and V-Moda BoomPro mic combo. The SHP9500's are really comfortable and the microphone fits them perfectly.

Zeos has good reviews of them:

- Philips SHP9500

V-Moda BoomPro
