Honestly man, if it's just for gaming and voip. I wouldn't worry to much about going all in, even if you weren't on a budget. I have a pair of sennheiser/drop HD6XXs, and I've never even bothered to plug them into my computer, since I dont use my computer for music. For my gaming/ computer needs, I've just kinda stuck with the JBL quantum 300s I got back in 2020, audio quality is pretty par for the course for a gaming headset and they get the job done well enough that I haven't felt the need to upgrade. Although I'd hesitate to recommend them since the pading kinda sucks and they become uncomfortable for longer sessions, and they definitely feel very flimsy.
I just listed off 3 brands and 1 headset. JBL Quantums are good, Sony has good ones. HyperX has gone down hill
