Hi all. My headset recently broke and I was wondering what the best headset with a mic yall would recommend for under $100? Preferably less than $70 if possible. I don’t have a ton of money to spend right now so I’m just looking for something basic to chat with my friends on discord or while playing games on Ps5, Pc, and Steam Deck. I had ordered a used pair of (Kingston Model) HyperX Cloud II’s, but they sent me the wrong model (which I’m returning) and I’ve heard nothing but bad things about the HP model. So what would you say is the most similar to that quality in 2025?
Also I don’t post much on Lemmy (or Reddit previously) so I’m sorry if this is in the wrong place—so if there is a better place to post this please let me know
I’ve never had the cloud II tbh, but that’s the only ones I’ve ever seen that had consistent reviews… up until they sold to HP and now they’re shit. I’m just wanting something within the same price range and level of quality as the original version that’s been so raved about
Personally I have a pair of the cloud alpha, and had them for about 2 years now, they’re very good for what they are
I can’t speak to their other cheaper headsets but with this one I got, I feel that the quality between friends who had the version before it and the ones that were purchased by a colleague last month don’t really differ much in terms of quality.
Again, I can’t speak to their stinger line or other models. Maybe those were affected more by the HP acquisition.
