Lucio.4190 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I use the Corsair VOID Pro. So far, I like them and they weren't too expensive.https://www.corsair.com/eu/en/Categories/Products/Gaming-Headsets/USB-Headsets/VOID-RGB-ELITE-USB-Premium-Gaming-Headset-with-7-1-Surround-Sound/p/CA-9011203-EUI haven't tried so many headsets, but while this is robust material and a little heavy on the head, it's still very soft padding on the ears and above head. I like the sound, but I'm not sure if it's isolated very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've linked to a picture that I've uploaded, I hope you'll get the... eeh.. picture.. ehrrm..https://ibb.co/QF08FpkThe short size is back of the ear.

Infusion.7149 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This is probably not the right place to ask. For price/performance the "best" headset is ~$100 Kingston HyperX Cloud or its successor Cloud II if I recall correctly.There's supposedly a cost-cut version released this past month called HyperX Cloud Core 7.1 for ~$70 , but because it's only been out one month you can't really judge its long term build quality or reliability.

I do have a headset that sits around my ears, but the sound quality is a bit meh, and for those moments when I feel like gaming at 2am, using my normal speakers is a no-no, so a decent-quality headset is a good thing to have.EDIT: Yes, that looks about the same size as the ones I have. ("later" ==> at lunch-time, given that I'm teleworking...) Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
