Decent Headset

Sucr

Hey all,

Looking for recommendations on some decent headphones, needs to have a mic.
Sick of buying cheap headphones for 10 bucks that last only a few months at a time.
I would be willing to pay up to 50 euros.

I don't have an over the top sound card nor am I madly interested in perfect sound quality,
Just want a good DURABLE set with a mic.

Thanks.

Logitech G430 for 50 euros on special.

I have These just love them light well built and comfortable. Also have astro a50s for my ps4 and these match up without a doubt.
They are a little over the budget but you may find them cheaper elsewhere don't forget 10% discount on amazon today so 60stg

I find it hard not to recommend Steelseries Siberia V2's. I've been using them going on 1 years I'd say now, and only on my second pair. That's pretty good durability.

I'd go with Doc's recommendation, I bought a pair on sale in GameStop recently. Surprised with how good a quality they are and the mic boom retracts when you don't want to use it. Get them in some funky colours too.

So 2 pairs in 1 year....

Yeah that is weird, my Siberias are 2 years old now, 1st pair. I love them too much to get another, but it'll most likely be another Siberia. The only thing I find is, the new Siberias are not different enough to the old ones.

I bought a pair of Plantronics GameCom 780 about two years ago now and can't fault them. Comfortable (to me at least) after long sessions and good quality sound. The mic is very clear also I'm told.

Another alternative is getting a ModMic and a decent pair of headphones. For a dedicated pair through you can't go too wrong with the Siberia or Plantronics.
Avoid the Razor Krakens if at all possible. Tried a pair on last week and almost had to laugh out loud in the shop at how uncomfortable they were. Two big circles on the sides of my head with no ergonomics to them at all. Maybe they mold over time but they really left a bad impression on me.

I would go on the separate solution also.
You need to go to a shop and try a good pair of headphones. You will never go back to Plantronics, Razors, Steelseries and Logitechs...
A very special headphones for their money, are Superlux HD-665.
You can find them in thomann.de for 47€.
Later on, by a ModMic, which is modular and can be attached on (almost) any pair.

I have a GameCom 380 I think, but yes, I'm very happy with the build quality so far. Would recommend them.

Can't see any reviews for the 665, how do they compare to the 668?

They share the same capsule as far as I know. Differences are in the design only.
668s are a good solution also, highly reviewed by many users
