I am Looking in the $50 range i dont need anything special just comfy and good quality i need some soon hence the $50 price range. I would prefer around the ear but that is the only requirement.

 

I found these. Are they decent?

Are there any that are better? I just did a quick search on amazon and got those.

They clip onto the cable of your headset, you get WAY more bang for your buck this way.

If you aren't going to accept suggestions, why bother asking? :/

Gaming headsets have horrible build AND sound quality, and are generally overpriced. Just don't get one.

K guys I asked for a HEADSET not headphones and mics. when i ask for a HEADSET i want a HEADSET I know perfectly well they arent amazing but that is what i want. If someone asks for something specific dont go around telling them that its dumb or wrong say it once and if they stick by there decision leave them alone and help them find what they need.

 

Sorry for the rant but this forum ALWAYS does this crap and it drives me crazy.

We're pointing you to the best option. If you want a headset, buy a headset. They're all bad. (Yes, I'm generalizing ALL of them.)

Hence the boom mic suggestion with a compatible headphone, effectively a headset. I'm not pushing the suggestion on you past that second post of mine, however.

 

 

I was asking for help finding a decent one.

 

Ask the peripherals section, they might know better.

Thanks.those look nice.

 

Ya I was thinking about those but i forgot to add the link :P

This is the Audio section, pretty sure headsets count as audio

If you absolutely, must, are completely sure, and cannot be talked out of getting a headset, the Siberia V2. I'm just telling you it sounds like crap and is going to break in 10 minutes. When you make another post here asking what headset you should get because your old one broke, this is what I'm talking about. I've owned tons of headsets, and headphones for 1/2 the price and a cheap mic are miles better in every way.

No, gaming headsets are not audio devices, they are a peripheral that you put on your head that breaks too much and sounds bad. Which is why anyone who wants one should make a thread in thee peripheral section.
