I would really recommend this, the 3D sound quality, the mic quality it's so so good. Using from past 4 months now https://amzn.to/4qijkIR

If you have the V2's I'd stick with them That being said: Corsair HS80's in my experience have been the best "plug and play" type of headset, with good sound and mic quality The Razer Blackshark V3 has the best mic quality, with decent sound, but the set up can be weird and your computer and can confused about audio/mic input/output (aka the driver's suck and synapse doesn't help) The logitechs are good, but way overpriced. Not to mention they are very heavy in comparison

If just going off the ones you posted I had best luck with the Blackshark. It's comfortable (for me) and mic isn't garbage. Mostly use it for work. If you are fine with wired you can try the Sennheiser PC38X.

Logitech G435 LIGHTSPEED is on sale right now from around $80 to like $50 on logitech's own website. Corsair Void v2 is on sale for $80 on amazon right now. HyperX Cloud 3 is a strong competitor but at a little higher price point around $100 as well as the Razer Blackshark V3 X which was same price last time I looked. I have used all of these brands but not every model I listed. I currently am on like year 4 or 5 of using the HyperX Cloud II and I love them. Zero issues ever, comfortable, and good sound quality input/output.

I wrote this under a different post but since this is quite fresh as well, I will copy here, maybe it will be helpful to someone with similar considerations: I have never had any headsets from these companies and recently tested some of them, here are my thoughts: Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3: decent sound quality, worst build quality, decent mic, decent software - DQ'ed for build quality and audio quality SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5: good sound quality, good build quality, good mic, bad software - DQ'ed for having analog attenuators, where one speaker played at way different volume than the other, depending on the volume wheel position (tested in 2 different pairs) Razer BlackShark V3X: good sound quality, good build quality, better mic, good software Razer BlackShark V3: better sound quality, better build quality, best mic, good software Razer BlackShark V3 Pro: best sound quality, best build quality, decent mic, good software HyperX Cloud III S Wireless: better sound quality, good build quality, decent mic, decent software It came down to V3 vs Cloud III. With V3 Pro being best build and best audio but quite heavy and expensive, and V3X as well as V3 not being as comfortable (the smallest headband adjustment was almost too large for me, and too large for my wife, where there is way more headband adjustment in V3 Pro, kind of weird), the winner is HyperX Cloud III S Wireless. Why? For me they are comfortable (the ears don't touch the inside of the cup, you can also remove the outside cup sections reducing the weight by another ~30g), sound isolation is good, decent enough mic and long battery life. I was looking for a headset that does have sound quality that can be enjoyable with music, and the other headsets on the list above like the Stealth 600 or the Arctis Nova 5 do not provide that (nor they should, they are for gaming, therefore, they have other sound properties pronounced, which you can also emphasize via software). Cloud III S have naturally more similar sound quality to V3, but I think it is a bit more detailed, and they sound great for the 75$ I got them for. For me, they would be good even at 120$. Again, it is my subjective opinion, and I have never used these softwares previously, only for the testing purposes (I know people have had different experiences over years).

If it were me I’d go to eBay and get a set of the wired nova pros or the wireless pros , with a warranty and then buy a set of wicked cushion ear pads and headband . Second option would be a set of razor black shark 2 wired headphones, for 100$ or buy the newer wireless model I believe the v 3 is 160$ and the v4 is 200$ . That my op I’ve had the nova pros for awhile now as a remote guy and they are my go to with the cushions , I still need to upgrade the headband though only thing I haven’t done. Edit : I bought my nova pro used on eBay with the warranty and warranties them when they had an issue . Got a second set and they have been solid
