need recommendations

[snoopunit]

Im looking into a new set of headphones as these turtle beaches just arent the same as my old Astro a40s. im trying to spend less than $80ish USD and looking for something that can compete with the comfort of the astros. also a detachable mic or even a cable mic is a huge plus. 

 

thanks in advance!

The Kingston Hyperx Cloud II's are around that price point, and very good.

As above, the Cloud II´s is pretty good!

another vote for the cloud 2s... super light can be used for long periods of time, detachable mic, two sets of ear pads (leather and "fabric")

nah get the OG clouds or Cloud core, the cloud II just gives you a shitty USB sound card and short jack cord.

OG clouds or core from me too!

The usb dongle is annoying af.

Headphones or headset? All of these recommendations are for headset, but from context, I would have to guess you're looking for a headset. For an easy all in one solution, I have to agree with the most recent recommendations for the HyperX Cloud Core (which are the gen 1 Cloud headsets, but renamed).

 

However!! The best in this price range is actually a pair of Phillips SHP9500 from newegg for $58 that is on sale until 10/24/2016, but this sale comes back very often. Then you pair that pair of headphones with these V-MODA BoomPro from Amazon for $30. If you don't mind used, then there are Amazon Warehouse Deals for $23-24, which would total $81.

 

Here are the reviews on all the products I've mentioned:

 

1. HyperX Cloud Core: 

 

2. Phillips SHP9500: 

 

3. V-MODA BoomPro:

thanks for the suggestions. just a quick question, however, do the hyperx cloud/core have a removable mic?
