Guide When Shopping For Headsets and Mics for under 80$

Alrighty here is the list from someone who has done extensive research on this topic.

Alrighty well, gonna go ahead and make the headset and external mic combo list! The headphones on this list are all good and the only reason I will list multiple is because headphone choice is up to what type of music you like and what frequency you want fillin those ears of yours! Also, you must decide whether you want closed or open. Open = Sound leaks out and you get real surround and a larger sound stage. Closed = Blocking our room noise, no sound leakage, smaller sound stage, slightly better bass!

This first choice is for treble lovers!

That is it! I would highly reccomend using the Seperate setup as opposed to the bundle because you tend to get better quality when something is manufactured with 1 goal in mind! I hope this helps!

If you insist on using a headset these are the best!

These are THE BEST headset for the same price as Logitech G930s!

Sure, they are wired but they out-preform some 150-200$ headsets. GET THESE!

If you choose to totally ignore my first suggestion here is a pair that is pretty good aswell!

These are slightly lower price but are still great! I would still go with the Hyperx's but hey dont take my word for it, not like I've spent over a year researching headsets, ect. (I have)

I know people like the Logitechs but I just find they are made to last a month or two before breaking unless you are the most careful person ever. The wireless feature is definitley nice, but you are sacrificing sound and mic quality for the ability to walk around the house a bit. I will make another list. I hope you found this helpful

 

The top few headphones dont have a mic! Only two on the list do! Enjoy!

 

All the headphones there are below or around 40$, so you should be able to afford them.
