New Headsets

[Barix9]

Good Afternoon all,

 

I see there are a ton of separate questions regarding headsets, and no real method to the madness, possibly because everyone has such varying ideas on what is important in a headset. That being said I am looking for a new headset to replace my Turtle Beach X41s for PC gaming (Unfortunately using them wireless is difficult at best for PC gaming with a mic)

 

Basically speaking I am looking for a headset/mic that will meet as many of my wishlist checks as possible

 

I really don't know much about what specs make a headset good, or bad which is why I decided to ask.

 

• $150 or under (Preferably under)
• Must have a Mic
• Good sound quality
• Wireless (I've ruined more wired headsets than I like to admit by tripping over the cord)
• Minimal sound leak. Does not necessarily need to be a closed set, but something that isn't going to irritate my room mate like my x41s do (ha!)
• I like bass one of the major reasons I have had TB's instead of just cheapy headsets.
• Surround sound is nearly a must, but I can compromise if needed.

I realize most of the answers I get here will likely be opinion, but I'm mostly out for good ideas.

I don't really care about looks. I'd rather pay for Quality. 

 

Also I was curious if anyone knew if the Logitech G930 headsets were closed or open they look decent enough.

Any Opinions on the Psyko Kryptons (I realize they're not closed)

 

Thanks ahead of time!

g930's are closed and do a decent job of blocking sound around you, my brother has a pair. They also do a decent job of minimising sound leak and it is 7.1 surround. One thing I don't like about them is that the mic quality is not the best and sounds very tinny(treble only, no mid or bass) which is annoying when he is in TS with me and others, this might not be an issue for you though.

Good to know thank you!
