Logitech - G335 Wired Gaming Headset

Based on your budget I can't recommend any better then these headphones - **Logitech G335**. They are very lightweight and very comfortable to wear for long gaming sessions!

Logitech g335. Had mine since 2022. Perfect.

The Logitech G335 wired headset is the comfiest headset I’ve every worn and it’s got a flip to mute mic. It’s would be my recommendation for a budget one as well.

Fifine H9 is an example of a headset with USB, however there are more options than it may seem. If you want USB, then search for 7.1 headphones, because they come with a dongle (with surround virtualisation). They can cost more than headsets and heaphones without it though. You can get a regular pair with a jack and add a USB dongle like for example apple dongle or Jcally JM20. If you need a mic, then Jcally JM20pro has a mic input. Apple dongle has mic input as well. The difference between Jcally and apple is the power output, which is higher for Jcally. It can make the headphones louder and also build quality is better. Apple dongle is somewhat delicate. Apple limits the output on non-apple devices. These two small dongles have very high audio quality for both headphones and the mic. There are even less expensive dongles from aliexpress and there's a lot of them, but it's hard to make sure which has a working mic. The cheapest that I found is 'Essager External USB Sound Card' for $2 on AliE. Logitech makes very lightweight and comfy headphones (ex. G432 and G335 which are now discounted), although they're also delicate and they break easily. For lightness they're hard to beat though. Well maybe JBL Quantum 100X, which is now discounted for $19. Razer Kraken is also popular for comofrt. Eksa E900pro is also this kind of comfy but chintzy model, but they have detachable cable... Maybe something like Jeecoo J70 is better although they're also not the sturdiest. Fifine H9 is better made and still lightweight. However you can also buy a mic and headphones separately. There are inline boom mics available. The benefits are that you are getting replaceable cable with a mic, so if something breaks you can just swap that one cheap thing and not the entire headset. Headsets with both the mic and the cable detachable usually cost more, but maybe you can find one. For a microphone I'd pick oneodio inline boom mic. With some discounts on aliexpress you can find it sometimes for like $8. You can also get it together with Oneodio A71d headset. If you want a noise canceling mic, then go for V-moda boom pro X. Comfort is subjective and some headphones clamp your head strong when they're new, but they stretch over time. You can also help them stretch faster if they have metal headband. I'm just saying in case you get something that may squeeze you. We all have different heads and some headphones are made to accomodate many people and they have that initial clamp. The plasticky headphones that sit softly, get very loose over time and they fall off your head, so you may want some clamp and some metal in the headband, so that they hold on to your head. Now you can pick some headphones like Fifine H8, t.bone, ISK, DNA, or anything else with a jack. Later you can find some nice earpads for them. You can find some big ones made of velour or linen. Pleather is used for headphones to have more bass and isolate your from expternal noise, but it also makes your ears sweaty in the summer. That's why I think it's better to buy cheap headphones and invest in nice, plushy earpads. You can wash them, ideally every couple of months, and they'll serve you well for longer than pleather earpads, that fall apart after a year.

i have a G432 headset and after changing the pads they're pretty nice. i don't think they're that bad i also own a G435 and G335 for years and they've all been very nice to me. If anything the 335 and 445 get uncomfortable to wear after a bit because you can feel the plastic pushing into your skull
