I currently have had Siberia V2's for ages and am happy with build quality and audio quality. IMO Razer headsets are overpriced your paying for the brand name.

Specs:

CPU: i5-6500 3.2 GHz Mobo: ASRock H110M-HDV RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2133 MHz DDR4 GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition Storage: 120GB Sandisk Ultra II 1 TB WD HDD 7200 RPM PSU: Antec VP600P 600W Display: CrossOver 2795QHD 2560x1440 105 Hz OC OS: Windows 10 64 bit

Headphones= no mic

Headset= mic

 

HyperX cloud is better than both of them.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Well the mic is better than what razer and steelseries have and you cannot really expect more from such a budget headset, you you want a better mic then look at Sennhesier Gaming series, beyer MX 300, ATH-AG1X or ATH-ADG1X, but they are all way higher in price.

just keep in mind that their mics are still not great and that hadphone + stand alone mice is a better value, but will also not be as convenient as a headset.
