I have the hyperx one. Good enough mic which I also use for office meetings

low budget gamer here too, if mic bleed is the issue, go for a 3.5mm headset with a proper boom mic like HyperX Cloud Stinger or Razer BlackShark V2 X or even entry Turtle Beach models, they handle voice isolation much better than earphones.

No problem! I just wanted to make sure I knew the distinction before making a recommendation. Within your budget all gaming headsets will be pretty comparable to one-another due to limitations so you really can’t go wrong with any, but I think that HyperX is the best in the budget wired-headset department. I’d look into their sub-40€ options and go from there, they also go on sale fairly often. You can generally find a headset within the HyperX Cloud Stinger lineup under that budget often. I haven’t personally tried the JBL headset you mentioned so I can’t give an opinion on it.

I have an old cloud stinger and it’s the same for me if not even lower.

If you're talking about the Cloud Stingers you can't wrong. They're amazing for the price.
