Looking to buy a new headset for gaming (with mic of course).

Requirements:

Wired
Over-Ear
Very comfortable
High Quality sound both Input/Output
Mic must be connected to headset (not looking for one that can be removed or is on the cord itself)


Not sure if it matters, but this is the motherboard https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132566 (no sound card so I am using built-in sound from motherboard).

What's your budget looking like? And what's the current headset you're using?

PM Rukio, he bought a $1500 pair for only $600. He can give you the best advice.

Budget not looking to spend over 100$, but I can if it's a little over. I am currently using a Turtle Beach X11

600$ would be way to much for me

There's a Sennheiser PC37X Gaming Headset on massdrop for $120, which is a very good deal. I'd recommend this "gaming headset" even though it's slightly over your budget cos it's definitely more worth it than any other gaming headsets ~$100

The Kingston HyperX Cloud is the most frequent recommendation for a gaming headset. Comfortable, good sound, good mic, good price.

The other option is to buy headphones and a mic separately. So something like the Sony MDR7506 (if you want closed) and a ModMic or a mid-price desk mic if you want better voice quality.

I have a Kingston hyper x cloud

Was recommended to me and I’d give it a 7.5 out of 10

It’s got great sound quality and a decent mic , fits well .


The style isn’t to my tastes and the materials feel a bit cheap .

But no complaints about the functionality of the headset .
