Headsets under £100

BeeRad · 20 Nov 2019 at 22:20

Hi all,

Needing some help with headsets. I’ve read a few websites reviews and can’t make a decision.

looking for something to use mainly on FPS. Seen the HyperX Cloud Alpha but missed reviews on them which sets me back. Others I’ve looked at are the Corsair HS50 and Logitech’s G lone

any help?

thanks

I think it's prudent to note that it's Black Friday which may bring some things into your budget come Friday?

@Hyburnate yeah that’s true! Still no wiser to what I should be looking for. I had a Sades headset which did the job

You can currently order Philips SHP9500 from the rainforest (it's global store so will take a week or so but it's worth it) for £68. Add a Vmoda Boom Pro mic for under £30 and job done. Doubtful you'll find a better mic on a sub £100 headset.

It's what I'm using. Mind you I had to buy a soundcard as they didn't sound right through the onboard. I got a cheap Creative Soundblaster Play3 USB DAC and it transformed it completely, tweaking the sound effects in the software was the cherry on top.

Perfect for the money if you like open back headphones with decent soundstage.

Interesting. I nearly bought one of these for myself yesterday for using on my laptop.

I have these and cannot fault them at all. Great wireless headset.

My options are quote, multi and trust. I can't find edit on here

Having said that... I've seen good deals on Arctis 7 for under £100

Just bought a corsair HS70, TTL gave it rave reviews and after being told the Arctis 7 isn't so good it seemed a good option

Ive gone from having no headphones to now purchasing a G6 DAC/amp a set of Sennheiser HD58X and a pair of Fidelio X2HR.
