personally I used turtle beach 50x for years and they lasted me a while now it’s the cheaper side but works I guess, I paid £10 for mine.

I've been using the Turtle Beach Recon 50P for just over a year now. They're very cheap and haven't had an issue with them yet, sound and mic quality are really good.

Turtle Beach recon 50. It's a good entry level one at Walmart for $25 or so all the time. Their warranty is great they replaced mine without even sending it back. The world had an issue. Better is hyperx cloud 3 but their like $100. I got a pair on sale for $40 back at black Friday but try the TB their way better than speakers you'll hear more than you know.

i reckon cheap shit for gaming. turtle beach recon 50xs are like 30-40 dollars and have a mic that works with xbox so you can chime in. they sound fine. lighter than the recon 70x which i had to modify to make comfortable. for personal headphones tho, Sony XM4s are apparenlty the best. I liked my beats studio 3s more, but they sound worse and kept breaking on the hinges. you can still use an aux in to an xbox controller with either tho

for ultra budget, if your ears aren't super big, go for the turtle beach recon 50. it's $25 and it's great imo

I know you’re asking for wireless, but I’m going to throw a budget pair in here; **Turtle Beach Recon 50** - Wired gaming headset. I’ve owned 3 because of one major flaw, but now that I know what it is, it’s no longer a problem. They cost about $28 at your local WallyWorld. The flaw: Inferior mic design. The mic is removable. Once you put the mic in, never touch it again. Removing and reinserting the mic can cause damage easily.

It's also quite tight on the head but still pretty good value sound wise.
