For me, 5k is too much for a gaming headset. The audio/voice quality barely changes above 2k. You're better off getting a dedicated mic and headphone for that price. I have a Razer Barracuda X for over 2 years, it has plenty of accessories, can be wired/wireless. No RGB so I can use it outside if I have to. Only repair I had to do was replace the mic since it broke but there are plenty of those on-line.
Comforts good too! I can wear those for long gaming sessions 4-6 hrs with no issues to ear or head at all And sound is fantastic Excellent while playing games with them on They come with removable mic too
I use barracuda x and love it.
I use the Razer Barracuda X. I've been pretty happy with it, other than the dongle stopped working so I had to switch to Bluetooth, but I've enjoyed mine. Also doesn't have cables so you cat can't chew through them
I flip flop between Astro A10s and Razer Baracuda Xs
Razer Barracuda X is a good choice based off your last headset. They have quite a few options and are quite cheap compared to many others listed here. I would stop by a Best Buy and just try them out. PS. Also please note I use the Nova Pros and the con is that there is a mic in the right earcup that will stab your ear so many buy aftermarket cushions
I have a razer barracuta x I bought from target for like $100 and I think its perfect.
I have the same, and I absolutely love it.
