Headset <$100 with good/decent mic

Looking for a headset that has a fairly good built in mic. I'm used to using a blue yeti which has pretty decent audio but I no longer have room for a mic on my desk with my school setup. I did buy a wireless pair of corsair headphones prior to this but quickly refunded them in utter disgust of the mic quality, Thanks in advance.

Time again I've seen people recommend the Hyperx Cloud series. I bought a Cloud II myself and found it to be pretty  great quality for the price. Not an audiophile by any means, but I now carry it around with me everywhere I go because I don't want to listen to music any other way now. Plus the detachable mic doesn't make me look weird when I use it at work/walking around, not to mention my voice sounds pretty clear when using it to talk.

Inside some old case I found lying around.

Well, no attached microphone will be as good as a standalone one so don't expect too much. But the Clouds are literally the best you can get for that budget.

The cleanest microphone on a gaming headset is owned by Logitech G633 and sennheiser GSP 300.

I've watched the reviews on both of those but the G633 is slightly cleaner than the GSP 300.

In terms of audio quality and comfort the gsp 300 win.

GSP300 is straight out the best headset you can get under $100. Although I do recommend getting the massdrop sennheiser headset if it's available.

 

HyperX Cloud has atrocious mic. Period. It's literally the M50X of headset. The product is simply over-rated nowadays.

 

Check out HWCanuck's video comparing the best headset below $100 and you'll see that dmitrij says GSP 300 has the better sound and mic
