Gatorade Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) So I finished all my bills for awhile and I was thinking of upgrading my 30$ logitech headset. Id like to stick under the 150$ range unless its something thats fucking nuts like the Astro A50's. What would you buy? What do you currently have? (Anything on sale is a + and I dont have a stand alone mic at the moment so I would pref something with a mic - although if its worth it lmk) Edited December 21, 2017 by Sugarfoot Link to comment
Mason Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I currently have the Astro A50's. I have had them for years without any issues. Truly one of the best headsets in my opinion. Also Wireless which is a plus. Sandwich likes this Link to comment
PFC Jake Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I currently have the Hyperx Cloud II. They are very immersive and great for hardcore realistic milsim roleplay. Steve, Sikorsky, sakha and 4 others like this Link to comment

Erron White Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I use the Corsair VOID and honestly they are super comfy. The ear cups are made of the same material as the Astros ear cups. They do have a weird look to them but honestly you dont notice it cause its on your head obviously but also a huge plus is it does have a EQ system in the corsair utility engine so you can fine tune the sound to your liking also its dolbe 7.1 surround sound that is toggle able to be stereo if you like stereo more https://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-void-usb-gaming-headset-black/4455800.p?skuId=4455800 Link to comment

bum41 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know you said you don't have a stand alone mic, but I bought 5 headsets and tested them all and this was the best. Audio Technica ATH M50x If you want a standalone mic, this one will make you sound like jesus Audio Technica AT2035 If you buy the mic, you will need a audio interface that supports XLR Link to comment

Bought the void pro's 2 weeks ago and mic was fucking awful. Returned i t the same day it arrived. Corsair Void Pro wireless The super short version: closed headphones isolate you from the noise around you (and keep others from hearing your music), while open headphones usually produce better sound—but at the expense of sound passing through the cups. Which kind you want depends on where you're using them, and how much you need to isolate your music from the world (and vice-versa). Link to comment

Wubz Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Open back headphones are shit, you can literally hear yourself jerking off and its annoying. I've had two sets of astro 40's and the only reason i bought my second pair is because i wore out the padding after 3 years. The headphones them self still work perfectly. Highly Recommended, and I don't have the mixamp just the straight pc version and they work perfectly fine. Only spend about $150 for the headphones that will last you forever and they work perfectly. Mic didn't sound too bad either but I have a yeti so I can't come show you how they sound. Gatorade likes this Link to comment

You have the option to go wireless too with the Arctis 7, but that's just about your preference (and if you wanna spend 50 extra bucks). The audio isolation is good, although it's not as good as their previous version - the Siberia 650. But it's very customizable too, and if your main use is for PC it's a hell of a headset. First gaming headset I own that has a good, loud and clear microphone. Worth the cost/benefit in my opinion. Link to comment
LILXRECON202 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I currently have the Astros A50s they are really good headset its wireless and really convenient features on the headset itself like volume changes and plenty of more stuff. The on;y problem is that i don't think they are under $150 new probably used . You could try other astro headsets Bronx likes this Link to comment
