Herro there! I'm starting my YouTube channel soon and I'm looking for some good headsets to use whilst recording, talking to friends, etc.

Anyways, I'm looking for one that's under 150 dollars. Please tell me if you find any lower price ones with good specs! Thank you, Viex (xPotatoFrys).

If you want a headset go for sennheiser...they're really good...however I highly suggest getting a pair of headphones and a mic...the quality is much better. (I did the wrong thing and got a headset...then later on I also got a mic...I like the quality of the sennheiser Game One though...but I could've saved money just getting a pair of headphones and a mic...don't make the same mistake)

If you must buy a headset, go for the HyperX Cloud. If you want to get the best sound, comfort, build quality, and experience for your money, go for a pair of headphones and a mic separately (HD 558 and Modmic).

All of these headsets marketed as "gaming" are just not as good. The best headphones for gaming are ones that have an open back which allows you to hear footsteps, small sounds, and detail like nothing else

I use the Logitech G930!

Pretty good but charging them is a pain when you get the wire between the mouse and then you start jumping all over the place until you get it under your arm XD

Maybe try Astrogaming? I use the A50's but I think they have some headsets under or around 150$

-Woody-"Good" "Wireless" and "Headset" are three words that will never go together, especially for under $100.

Wireless headphones always have a staticy sound in them, regardless of how good they are.


I'd have to disagree. I have the Astro A50's and they work flawlessly.


That's not the point, wireless always has inferior sound quality to something hundreds of dollars less, especially in gaming headsets. If you're trying to look for something wireless under $150, you might as well give up.


I know but he says wireless always have a staticy sound it them no matter how good they are. I do however agree that you are out of luck if you're looking for wireless headsets under $150.

ItIzLiamSince this is kind-of on topic, what is the difference between wired or wireless headsets anyway?

There's not that big of a difference. They both function the same and the sound quality for both don't have much of a difference either. Nowadays some wireless headsets are actually faster than wired headsets. And most wireless headsets come with a wire to connect/charge them making them both wired and wireless.

Wired use the DAC and amplifier from the device you plug them into. Wireless pairs have a base which transfers either the 1s and 0s to the headphones, where it is converted into analog by the DAC on the headphones and amplified by the amp on the headphones OR the base sends the analog signal to the amp on the headphones (I don't know which). In any case, the components on the wireless pair are almost always inferior to the devices you use with wired. In order to send that signal from the base to the headphones, the sound/music has to be compressed which lowers the quality considerably. Not to mention charging, batteries, and more chance for interference, I would never buy one.

The reason I tell people not to buy wireless especially is because in order for the signal to be transferred to the headphones, it has to be compressed which ruins the music/voices/games sounds.

OP, you can go for a pair of HD 558s when the price drops down again, and a modmic.

"Good" "Wireless" and "Headset" are three words that will never go together, especially for under $100.

You can, however, get a pretty good pair of headphones and a mic (both wired) for that budget.

Wireless headphones always have a staticy sound in them, regardless of how good they are.

If you can even find a wireless headset for under $100, it'll sound like a $2 pair of headphones from walmart. To get the best for your money, you'll want a wired pair of headphones and a dedicated mic, instead of them built together. When companies build them together and sell the for a "bargain", it's an excuse for the company to put a cheap mic with a decent pair of headphones (or vice versa), and market them at a much higher price than what they're worth.

I'm not an audiophile, so I can't recommend anything, but there's a lot of audiophiles here who can help you.
