Best headset/headphones for no more than 300$

Matias_Chambers

I'm looking to finally get a proper headset. I'm currently using some random random earphones I found. My budget is 300$. I play video games, do video editing, and listen to music a lot.

What's your preferred sound signature? Do you have an idea?

What genres of games/music do you mainly listen to?

Just search google for the best pair of headphones for 250$ and strap a ModMic on it. "Gaming" headphones usually have a lower sound quality for the amount of money you pay for them.

 

I have the Sennheiser G4ME ZERO along with multiple other Sennheiser headphones. Honestly it doesn't sound that good for the price compared to other Sennheiser products. The microphone on the G4ME ZERO is really good though, but a ModMic is also amazing.

Why does aytex beat me to everything ffs

I agree with him though, a Game one/zero or pc363d from sennheiser

You could also probably get the sennheiser 593 and a blue yeti or snowball. I would go with the above options though.

Then why do you need a headset if you already have a mic??

Maybe I should say headphones? Sorry I'm not that good with audio stuff.

Sound signature? I listen to all kinds of music. Here's my playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlklQ26SSK9WsX4LUY300oxeMpfGEipJV

 

 

Sound signature meaning like some people are super bassheads or are classical nerds or whatever lol
