PC Master Race

I moved away from "Gaming headsets" years ago and I don't think I'll ever go back. Bad audio quality, connection issues, and poor longevity are rampant problems.

I'm an advocate for a desktop mic and a nice set of headphones. I use a blue yeti snoball and a pair of Sony Wh1000-xm3's. I am considering upgrading to some open back Sennheisers though.

The main disadvantage is that you can't walk to the kitchen/bathroom and keep talking in discord but it's well worth it for audio quality and longevity.

Gaming headsets are overpriced, and poor quality. I personally recommend Beyerdynamics dt pro series, especially 990. They are so good and priced right.

I think Logitech has been producing flimsy hardware for at least the past decade now, the only exception being their mice. In my experience, everything from keyboard to headset have been throwaway "subscription model" crap, you have to re-buy every year.

After having tried out a dozen different headsets, I've been most satisfied with SteelSeries (who also have throwaway crap hardware in other departments). My Arctis 7 pro has been soldiering on for years now. I've had to re-buy recently after 5 or so years, due to a faulty micro-usb charging port, but no one gets that point of wear and tear right anyway.

This is the only headset I recommend because it's decent quality. Epos = Sennheiser.

Admittidetly I haven't really dug into headphones for a while, but my information should still be good.

You should go either Sennheiser or audio Technica, both have been known for quality and to exchange blows on who's best at what price point. if you don't need a mic built in the hd280 pro is the best value audiophile headphones at 100$ mine have lasted 10 years though they need new pads.

If you do need weird headphones with a mic there's a few good options from both brands, though you'll be going under EPOS for Sennheiser, look for 2-3 at your desires price point and then look up some reviews, there's a lot of subjective stuff with headphones but I always recommended the game one's to people

there's also wireless if you'd prefer and if you want to throw down some good money for a good pair of wireless headphones my friend recently went for the Audeze Maxwell Wireless Headphones but they are 300$ otherwise the GSP series outside of the bottom tier ones should both sound good and have a good enough mic
