Gaming Headset For $50 or So...

I am not really picking about sound quality, like honestly I could careless, I have never really been an audiophile... I just need good over the ear headphones that has a mic built in (or just headphones without a mic, doesn't really matter as I could always pick up a mod mic thing) for $50 or $60. I will just be using this for gaming (Overwatch) and YouTube/movie watching.

 

As of right now the best one I can find is the HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset for $50. Would you guys recommend something over that in the this price point? Need any more details or have questions just let me know, thanks.

If you have glasses, get the Logitech G930 Wireless Headset instead.  Very comfortable to use.  Also, the G930 kicks the HyperX Cloud's a$$ in the microphone department.

That isn't a bad price. Are they good? Like do they have connection problems? Other then my WiFi adapter I have no other transmitting devices.

Every once and a while they'll cut out, but it doesn't happen often.  I can usually play Overwatch or whatever for hours on end without the headphones or mic cutting out, at least until the headset dies, of course.  You can also just keep them plugged in all the time so they don't die on you.  Sound quality is better than some higher-end headphones, and the mic is very crisp.  I know that muyskerm (a.k.a. Bob, if you're more familiar with Markiplier) used a Logitech G930 for a couple of years to record videos with.  Overall, definitely a good choice. :)
