New headset needed.

soundesciple · 5 May 2016 at 08:08

I need a new headset as my old turtles have seen better days.
I would like wireless / surround sound as cheap as possible to work on my pc only.
I also use a 360 controler as my keyboard is too close to my monitor.
Any thoughts would be great.
Am looking at the corsair H2100's are they any good for 5.1 games?

Wireless, surround sound and cheap is not a good mix.

What is your budget?

I don't really need the surround as such but as long as they work with a 360 controller and not bass heavy.
Budgets £90 max

If you can stretch your £90 budget a tiny bit then you could look at the Corsair VOID headsets. There are several iterations, with the most expensive ones having RGB, USB wireless, and virtual 7.1 and coming in black, white, or yellow. There is also a 3.5mm iteration that works with consoles and mobile devices.

If not then there's the Sony Gold headset, which is a console headset but does work wirelessly with PC. I hear the durability isn't brilliant though; I had the Sony Pulse headset in the past (predecessor to the Gold headset) and it took less than a year to crack into pieces.

I've spent the last few months trying to find the perfect headphones for me and ended up on the path of audiophile headphones, eventually paying up £233 for the Sennheiser HD 650. You might get on well with the Corsair VOID if you liked your Turtle Beach phones.

I went for the corsair h2100's in the end as I got them for £69.99. The build utility is great and the sound is excellent for the price. Well pleased with them.
