For something cheap, Acer Nitro K2 is decent at 3-3.5k. Great battery life & good mic, although audio quality is not great. Had wired HyperX Stinger before, that definitely had better audio quality. Still, its good for gaming. Sadly seem OOS now.

I hate HyperX for the sole reason that whatever PU synthetic leather they use on their ear cups always deteriorates and gets all flaky. Those flakes rub all over your ear and surrounding hair. It's annoying, to say the least..

I had too many pairs that ended up doing that. For a while I had my HyperX Stingers that had the mesh earcups instead. The mic recently started to have interference type noises that my friends were complaining about. I had the headset since 2022 however. I recently switched to a cheaper headset but I'm loving it so far, The sound clarity & how loud it actually gets is amazing for it's price point, as well the comfort and features. It even has a RBG mode but I disable that by double pressing the mic mute button to save battery. It's the AOC ACG2502 Wireless Gaming Headset.

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.

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