    YO guys, I'm in need of a new headset. Would like some suggestions. Whether it be something you guys use or you research something for me.

    Headsets I've owned so don't suggest these pl0x:
    Logitech G430
    Turtle Beach PX11

    I'll take all and any suggestions into consideration, the only thing I request is that it have a mic.
    Thanks ya'll xoxo

    Although I have never owned these, I would say some Razer headsets are good. Although most of them a expensive for a headset, they do have good specs (and the chroma features are pretty cool)

    Hyper X Cloud II is a pretty good set of headphones in my opinion. I believe the price ranges from $90 - $110 US depending on where you live (got mine for around $92). It comes with a microphone which has it's own mini pop filter which is easily detachable. The best part about this headset in my opinion is the fact that unlike most other headsets which require you to download a software to adjust it, it has a remote with it's own set of buttons which is attached to the USB cable alongside with the headset which allows you to increase and decrease mic volume, headset volume and activate the "7.1" version which basically enhances your in-game audio if ever you're playing.

    The only downside this has in comparison to other headsets is that it doesn't have any form of lighting system whatsoever except for the remote thing which it only glows the brand's signature red color. So if those are a big deal for you, then maybe you'd want to look for other options. Aside from that, it's pretty gucci in my opinion, especially for its price.

    I own the Hyper X Cloud Core headset and it's pretty cool, it costs about 60 dollars for some really good sound and a decent microphone.

    Corsair have really good headsets. They are a little pricey but they're worth it. Good sound, great noise cancellation and can go wireless in some cases.

    I would recommend maybe Corsair Raptor HS40 - Around £50
    Or Corsair Void Gaming RGB - Around £110

    As 2 other people said, Hyper X Cloud is a good deal (pretty cheap for decent/good quality!)

    @Ezzerland He picked out mine. I used to be a huge Razer fan but I've found that their products need to be replaced more frequently.

    If you want an inexpensive quality headset, this is the one you want. Hyper X Cloud has a very good codec and is a pretty comfortable headset.

    If you want overall quality, you want headphones and not a headset. You can make the headphones into a headset with a detachable separate microphone. I recommend Audio Technica headphones with a Modmic by Antlion. A bit spendy, but high quality.

    After a bit of research, I think I've decided to go with a Hyper X Cloud as it also seems to be a popular option.
    Thanks to all of you guys that responded.
