Signature goes here.
I'm not a Twitch streamer or attempting to improve my K/D in Hardcore S&D on Call of Duty, I just want a decent quality headset for talking to my brothers over Discord and I can hear them clearly.

if you really absolutely want a headset for that price im not going to stop you but it will be a compromise

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
> gaming headsets

if its not the hyperx clouds or sennheisers its garbage anyway

Calm down loaf
Honestly it's way better to get yourself a quality audiophile level headset which focuses on audio quality/comfort and just attach a V-Moda or ModMic. Gaming headsets are overpriced garbage in comparison.
v moda is the company

i think you mean the boompro they make

unfortunately those only work for headphones with a detatchable 3.5mm
That's where these come in handy.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007R58NPK

no i mean the proprietary detatchable cables on the headphone side

AKG uses mini XLR

audio technica use their wierd locking thing

superlux have a male 3.5mm

if you have to plug something in between those its going to make the boompro wobbly, probably the best pair of mid fi headphones for this would be the philips shp9500 since its just 3.5mm
Well I guess it won't work for everything so that's where you should be turning to the ModMic instead. Also the locking mechanism is an easy fix, my Seinnheiser had that too and all it requires is taking out a few screws and removing a small plastic piece. I've got my BoomPro on my Sennheiser that I use for my PC and my Xbox. It's definitely better than any traditional gaming headset I've used, and a fraction of the cost for the audio quality.

What Seinnheisers do you have?
598, got it on sale brand new for half price. They're pretty nice, but eventually I want to upgrade to something even better. What I love about using them on my Xbox though is that I can hear other players' footsteps in the direction they're coming from. It's awesome. Listening to music with them also makes me want to just lay back and close my eyes.

Fair enough, most Seinnheisers I've seen are exponentially more expensive than even top quality gaming headsets. These look like the way to go tho and I'm sure they have much better sound quality.

you get what you pay for, there are senns in every price range, except with them their audio quality is usually fair same with the price you pay

gaming headsets can even have good build quality but they could still use bad hardware, that's why they're cheaper

you'd still get better results from a modmic and a superlux

You just sent me down a headphone wormhole. So many options

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.

Yeah it took me forever to decide on one headset. When it comes to headphones, it really is different for everyone. Everyone has different ideas if what's the most comfortable, what type of soundstage sounds the best, whether or not you want open ear or closed ear, on the ear vs around the ear, etc etc etc. There's a lot of options, though most would agree that there are certain brands and models to gravitate towards and others to stay far away from.

I gotta see if they make ones specifically for people who wear glasses, neither on ear or over ear are comfortable.

if you really absolutely want a headset for that price im not going to stop you but it will be a compromise

then it doesnt matter what you get for that price because everything around that price is going to be subpar unless you can find a used or refurbished sennheiser headset or hyper x cloud/cloud 2

i actually suggest you look around to see if you can find either of those refurbed, sennheiser has an outlet website here that sell refurbished headphones direct from them at cut prices

edit: found the us site
