Thank you, but I requested a link for a budget headset, not a roundup of them, sorry

Thank you but the reason why i'm not going to do that is because it shows a very narrow example of the options available, so if you don't have a recommendation, please don't leave a comment.

Monoprice Modern Retro. They're a bit cheaper if you buy directly from Monoprice but they're on Amazon if you have to buy from them. 

 

 

A pad upgrade is a good idea since they're a bit tight and it can be uncomfortable but up to you.

Few months ago I purchased Razer Kraken's and I am really happy with them.

The quality of sound that is coming from them is enough for 50$

 

Nice color, LED lightning (only 1 color and no options to play with)

 

Also they feature USB instead of jack so that's may be the problem for you depends if you're only going to use them for PC or also for phone.

My brother used these from Turtle Beach in sale for about € 20 until he up to buy a better Logitech G430, he said the fake leather is annoying and I can confirm him and me prefer cloth/fabric earcups; this'll differ from person to person.

They still work, only the microphone gave out after 2 years of daily usage with his PS4.

When the PC is acting up haunted,

who ya gonna call?
"Monotone voice" : A local computer store.

*Terrible joke I know*

(G430) Excellent recommendation, (unless prices change) I'm probably going to get them.

HyperX Cloud Stinger's are pretty good if they are in you're budget.

Thank you for the recommendation, but after looking at the product page (amazon), some reviews and it's price, I am probably not going to buy them

Understandable. The reviews aren't that great and I can't speak from experience so yeah.

What I currently use is the Cougar Phantom, the build quality on everything minus the microphone is fantastic. If you get fatigue on the top of your head however while using headphones, look elsewhere. IIRC it's priced around 40-50 USD. Also it has thick (thicc?) pads which are so comfortable to use. Sound is very Bass heavy though, which isn't great for me but some people like that.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?
