Sennheiser GSP 601, no issues
They're effectively the old Sennheiser Gaming One with some tweaks, which were, indeed, great headphones. No idea why Sennheiser stopped making them in favour handing most of the branding to drop and going about doing something else. I've got the GSP 600, PC38X and a H6 Pro - all these are similar and they're all great.
I agree completely, I got mine a week ago and I am so happy with them. I had SteelSeries Arctis 7+which absolutely sucked, terrible fit and super uncomfortable plus their software is garbage. I also had Sennheiser GSP600's and the Game Zero's which were better but completely blown out of the water by the HD560's. I paired mine with the BAM500 mic which is great but the cable is very short so I would suggest an extension if you get this. My ability to hear people in game has changed completely, distance as well as direction. My mate was joking last night that I must be using hacks as I could simply tell where people were like never before. He retracted that after I whiffed every spray and just died anyway.
Love my Sennhesier GSP 600s. They've been going strong for 7 years.
I love my A50's, especially because they're white. But one annoying feature is the volume wheel location. It always rubs against my hoodie and decreases the volume lol! I would say they're among the best headset I've owned, the GSP 601 and 670 were my favourite, and the PC38X was awesome for summer. Such a shame they're all discontinued.
I'm gonna be brutally honest man, there are no good cheap headphones, just cheap or good headphones. Having said that, I got the EPOS / Sennhiesr GSP600, and was very worth it. might be end-of-life IIRC. Tip: I used Rtings.com to check the quality of headsets, if they aren't even on there, rule of thumb is they're not worth it
Epos sennheiser 660. Decent and have nice ear controls on the right cup. Had mine for 3 years, just keep them clean and treat the faux leather to some conditioner.
Sennheiser x EPOS trust me.
