I’ve had the Astro Gaming A10 Gen 2 for over two years and have never had any issues. Also they’re cute and purple ☺️ so that’s a plus. $70
Astro A10 gen 1 Used for several years, almost no wear + tear Good audio and comfortable around ears, relatively cheap. Only downside is the small amount of padding on top and not sound cancelling. A10 Gen 2 fixes this/these issues and is also wireless
You may have to spend a little more but in the sub $100 price range I’d recommend the Logitech G435 for wireless or Astro A10 Gen 2 for wired.
if your on PC i recommend getting a good pair of studio headphones and a good mic, if you want a actual headset i recommend getting astro a10s or used a50s
Astro a10 is a really solid option. I used it for several years and a few friends still use them and haven’t had or heard any complaints
I use a separate mic & headphones, but I have the HyperX Quadcast 2 as my mic and KZ ZSN Pro X as my in-ears. I've used the Logitech G Pro X for a while before swapping to this system, however the headphones got heavy on my head after very long gaming sessions, but they were comfy! I go back to them if I need wireless :). I also have a pair of Astro A10s I use for my PS5. They are super lightweight and the audio is good, and the mic isn't terrible.
Astro A10’s. Solid build, comfy and great sound/mic quality
Short answer: See which Astro Gaming headset is in your budget. I got the A10 (wired and pastel lavender) and love it, but my standards are low and I just wanted cool headphones. Haven't heard any complaints about the microphone from friends on calls. Longer answer: Most Gaming Headsets™ are overpriced while ranging from mid to bad. Because if it says Gamer, people won't look any further. Getting decent headphones and a good mic will give you better audio quality, for the mic in particular.
