HyperX stinger core 2 is pretty good. My brother uses a Razer black shark v2, and i liked mine better. I use this for fps games, and mic quality is pretty good.

Is there any chance that you’re able to go up to $30? Because the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core is currently on sale for that much and I couldn’t think of anything better for the price in a headset. https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-stinger-2-core-wired-gaming-headset?variant=42982168068253

Yeah, I uhhh... I'm not sure it's entirely having the tiny ears thing here. Is this for headphones to wear to school? We struggle with this every year. My kid who is sensitive to a lot of different things really has an affinity for goofy gamer headsets now. He wears a Logitech G432 to school now, and it feels goofy and overkill, but it's the only headphone he's had at school that didn't result in a bunch of meltdowns. You can find a used set on eBay for less than $10. We got his from there and I needed to replace the earpads, but those were only a few bucks. At home he wears the HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Cores, which are like $30. For Xmas I got him Koss GMR-54X's. He didn't like them at first, but really came around to them. Got them from Drop, who is out of stock right now, but they get them back in intermittently. Also, I can't help but think it sounds like your kiddo has sensory issues and maybe you're struggling with it. It's okay. Lots of kids do, but it might be a symptom of other stuff kicking around in their head. Most kids just wear headphones and don't complain.

HyperX Cloud Stinger 2. If you were in the states, I'd give you one for free, just cover shipping cost, but shipping to the EU probably wouldn't make it worth it to you.

Hence the suggestion of Hyperx, such as Cloud 2 or Stinger 2. Also Epos H3 could fit. That's as good as it can get in this budget. Decent sound is subjective, for many here anything gaming sounds not decent at all, therefore you will mostly see separate mic and headphone combo suggestions.

I use a **HyperX Cloud Stinger 2** and it works just fine. Amazon has them for right at $30. Good audio, fits on my head, decent mic with a mute. It's not fancy, but it does the basics well. Can confirm it has spacial audio.
