Cheap headset

Closed
intoxeus

So my super cheap (10$) Logitech headset is getting old (2ish years now). I was checking out some headsets that I could buy, note that I do not need super good sound quality etc, as I am sure it will be great improvement over what I have. I don't want to spend over 30$/£20. Here are some that I found so far:

SteelSeries 3H VR

Creative HS-800 Fatal1ty This was actually recommended over the Steelseries one in a review

Turtle Beach Ear Force Z11 Haven't heard much about this one, just including for the sake of having more than 2 options.

Since cheap headsets don't have that many reviews, it would be useful if some of you (who possibly have used these) could suggest which one is better and why, and if I have missed a good one - please offer me an alternative. Thanks.

If you really want comfort go for fatal1ty.

If you add more money you can buy Creative tactic 3D alpha , i'm using them and they're fine

Can't really add more. And yeah, as far as I have heard fatal1ty ones are the most comfortable and same quality as others.

I have Sennheiser HD 201. And I must say they are very good for games. And they are also very cheap 16£. They have also 2 minuses low bass and no mic. If you want better bass buy HD 202.

I was looking at those, but they do not have an integrated microphone which makes them headphones, not headset. As I don't have a seperate mic, I'd prefer a headset with one. Thanks though.

Might actually consider that, it's not much different from having a mic attached to the headphones.

I must agree with TheBad, 201 are very good headphones for games. I don't know about Zalman ZN-MIC1 but I'm using something from Carrefour or Tesco & it's working very good.

I have HS-800 Fatal1ty and can not say anything bad about them. Microphone is detachable which is a plus, they are very comfortable (even for long gaming sessions, like 10 hours) and the sound is good, even bass.

In all the reviews I've seen, they are told to be very comfy as well as good quality. I guess those are the ones I'm gonna go with. Thanks for feedback

I have that steelseries headset but they aren't that comfortable after really long sessions but It'll get the job done .
(they're uncomfortable cause they're kinda loose on my head --> I prefer a tighter pair of headphones) but this is my opinion
I only use it for gaming and skype for music I use headphones.

one of the better aspects is that it is a foldabe one, so It's handy when you're on the road or going over to lan parties at a friends house

Yeah, I do love how it folds so nicely, however I don't go to LANs etc, so it's not really important for me.

I have the AKG GHS-1. It's awesome. I got mine for about 90 dollars. Not in your price range, but if you ever have the cash I highly recommend it.
