I research users I'm buying from online, unless I find a really good deal I pretty much always buy in store. The customer service is better since you can take whatever in store and they're obligated to help. Can you post the link for the item you bought? If they've described and listed a steelseries headset and you've received some fake Chinese shit surely you can raise this with Newegg, even paypal.
I would get your money refunded asap. Also, this is why I stay away from third party sellers on any website. Ebay is a big risk taker but I check the reviews on the seller first.

Gaming headsets are overpriced garbage in comparison.An extra $40 $70 is a but much tbh.V-Moda is 30 bucks. And if you wait for sales you can get a nice headset and a lower price. There's some gaming headsets that for the price would be a better deal, but I guess the point is to never go for "high end" gaming headsets because they're absolute garbage in comparison to audiophile headsets.

What's a good headset in the $40-$50 range?
if you really absolutely want a headset for that price im not going to stop you but it will be a compromise
