So, as title says. I play a lot of games so I need low latency. On the other hand I love listening to music in great quality. But latency is more important here since I have speakers for music. My budget is 150 USD. I'm going to use them mostly for gaming. I need shipping to Poland. Right know I have HyperX cloud 2 wireless, they are great but they time is coming to an end. Any good recomendations?

hyperx cloud 2. its a wireless headset with a separate (2.4g) dongle. you cannot use a bluetooth headset if you want to use the mic, it must have a separate usb receiver. most important thing

I have the HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless and it's got a pretty good mic and the sound is definitely better than any gaming headsets I've used. Read reviews on it and it's one of the better ones in terms of quality of the cans and the mic. An audiophile pair + mic would still beat it though.

Seconding the HyperX, I had a few issues at start like getting it to play nice with Rogue Trader but that was an RT problem. They've been solid ever since and I also have the thick frames concern with my glasses. Very comfy.
