Spec me a headset

Hi people,

Don't really know much about headsets so just going ask here.

I'm looking to get a decent gaming headset in the £40-50 range. I don't have a dedicated sound card only the one built into my Asus P9X79. Currently I use a cheap Logitech 5.1 speaker system for my pc but as I'm usually playing games between 10pm and 1am i can't really use them late at night.

Would like a mic as I would like to get into play CS:GO as I was addicted to 1.5 and 1.6. Would be great if it worked with PS4 but that's not a major issue.

Keypoints:

£40-50
microphone

Other than that tell me what to buy

Thanks.

Went with the HyperX Cloud in the end. Like it a lot, and went with the velvet covers

I remember the ones i used about 11 years ago. Cost like £10 from a high street retailer.Worked fine lol. But these ones are really comfortable. Made the sims 4 sound awesome

while waiting for destiny to update.

Yeah they seem to be the main talk these days how much you pay for them? They were down pretty cheap a few times.

I paid £53 when i got them from OCUK.

They fit over my ears alright. I prefer the velvet pads on the cup to the faux leather ones as they are a bit softer and don't get sweaty after a while wearing them. They feel solid and quite light.

Well i don't really listen to music on my pc, but i hooked them up to my ps4 and used them while playing destiny and i thought they were brilliant. Could hear were people were pretty clearly.
But i'm no sound expert but for that price i reckon they are pretty good.

Yeah i saw that. Pretty much cant go wrong with the quality at that price. But anything much better costs a fortune.
