Steelseries 7p or 7x probably gonna be your best bet and finding them used will be even cheaper. There are others id recommended but there over 100
If you can find them for a good price the audeze maxwell i would 100% recommend. Honestly ive used most of the high end gaming headsets and there sound and EQ just have so many issues. Ill also add the build quality tend to break or Fall apart in the same areas. But I'd probably go with arctis 7 line for consoles as the arctis nova pros just arent worth the price.
I have them and I'm torn. It has perhaps the worst feature of the system sound being affected by the others. So if I want people's voices, my game, and my phone to all be at good levels, I need to suffer ear splitting pings and beeps. Also sometimes when I turn my wired fan off, it completely shuts off the headset. The dongle also sucks. It often fails to connect. It can seize up and you need to take the cup off and poke the reset button. The volume changes when you use it while charging. The audio doesn't stay. When I'm balancing audio, the game sound wheel is at the very end to the point it automatically ticks down to zero. Anyway, so I'm not torn. I hate them.
Arctis 7X but shopping for in-ear options
Quite happy with my Arctis 7X, but I don’t expect it to last me more than 3-4 years. I’d splurge for a Nova with ANC if I was buying today, though For me the biggest factor is comfort and the extra stretchy head band that is on these is amazing. I get pressure headaches when a hard band rests on my head too long.
The Xbox headset always seems to get good reviews. As an alternative to those pictured, I have enjoyed the Steelseries headsets. Currently use the Arctis 7x nice sound and dual connection so you can use Bluetooth at the same time as play Xbox.
I second this. I traded in my PS4 and got a pair. They’re fantastic. Used them for both my Series X and my Pro and I’ve never been disappointed with the sound quality. They’re comfy and it feels immersive.
