Recomendations for a new Headset

[Fasade]

Hi, finally I have decided to replace my Razer Tiamat 2.2 and I am in the market for a new one. My budget is around 50-70 euros(it's ok if the prices are different in our country just give me products and I will search them in our shops).

It's going to be for long periods of time so I want them to be Over Ear.

 

Mic:  noise cancellation(if it's possible) and be clear to the others listening to me

Sound Quality:  good highs and mids with indifference to bass but not stereo.

Build Quality:  Decent enough.

Aesthetics:  Normal?

Does this possibly come with the name HyperX Cloud Core as well ? because that is within my budget.

How about the SteelSeries Siberia 200. I have it and it's a solid choice. I got mine for £40 so shouldn't be too different in Europe

Ditch the idea of getting a all in one headset for only a bit more you can get a much better audio experience that will last.

 

If you want some true audio quality look into getting a DAC (Digital to analog converter) with a built in headphone amplifier.

 

I went with a FX-Audio Dac x-6 and I have two pairs of headphones Sennheiser HD558 open back and XPT 100 Closed back for when its loud in my apartment.

 

 I use the XPT's with a USB microphone in my keyboard when i'm gaming and the Sennheiser's usually for listening to music but they are great for gaming as well if its not to loud around you or there's nobody that will be pissed off by the bleeding audio because of the open back design. 

 

Here's links to reviews of my stuff by Z-Reviews on YouTube his recommendations are spot on and worth taking a look at before buying any audio equipment.

 

 

 

Let me know if you have any questions ! Good luck.

That setup above would be about 130-150 USD and will open your world up to things you haven't heard before in your music, games etc 

 

And if you need a mic a simple usb mic would work or you could spend another 30-50$ and get a "mod-mic" its basically transforms any headphones to a headset and apparently they have great sound quality.

Zeos is not a good place to find credible reviews.

Its biased sure but at least hes honest with what HIS opinion is which is respectful unlike most review videos etc on YouTube these days...  Iv been more than happy with some recommendations from him.  To each their own I guess.
