You're going to get the same answer everyone else does when they ask this: there isn't one. In the sense that for the price you'd pay for a "good gaming headset" you'd get a good midrange set of headphones from a reputable, quality manufacturer like Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic or the like. These will outperform any "gaming" headset whilst being built better and usually more comfortable, and when coupled with a cheap Zalman clip-on mic or similar, will have all the same features.
It depends on your budget, mainly. Some people are going to recommend the Logitech G35s and others are going to tell you that you'd be a moron to ever consider buying them when you could get a pair of ATH-AD700s for less and get better sound quality and so on.
I think the general consensus is that "gaming" peripherals are a bad investment - "gaming" headsets are just cheap headphones with some blue LEDs and a brand name slapped on them. "Gaming" keyboards are going to cost more than some cherry-switch Filco or Ducky keyboards and be less pleasant and responsive to use. So on.
I use headphones for multiple reasons:
If you want a few suggestions for headphones there are the
Audio Technica ATH-M50s which are closed studio headphones that are highly recommended across the board.
Also the Audio Technica ATH-AD700s
If you plan on gaming and using Skype/VOIP then you may want to consider a modmic to attach to the headphones.
You could go with a headset like the Logitech G35 if you would like 7.1 surround and a mic built in.

edit2: swapped ending price and discount on G710+ - would have been a much better deal though...
edit3: prices are beginning to rise back to normal/sell out. Sad days.
edit4: Amazon is apparently going to try to get re-stocking done throughout the day to allow more purchases at the sale price. If it's out of stock when you look the first time, check again in a while. I'll try to keep this list up-to-date as best I can.
edit5: Even better, for me anyway. Looks as if if they are going to stop re-stocking the items, they are completely removing the item from the page I linked. If you see a strike-throughd item above, it WAS here, now it's gone Johnson. Again, will update as I can.
edit6: Nope. Bastards are re-adding items to the page... grumble grumble... :D
edit7: I decided to dig a little bit, and turns out, if you follow my links in this post rather than only relying on just the deal page itself, they are updated more frequently and accurately. So, use these links in conjunction to the thread title, and you may very well benefit! Still updating, sleepy times soon though... Maybe...
edit8: That's all, she wrote! Some of the items prices are retaining their sale value as of this last edit, so, maybe it'll be a new list price for them, who knows, but I am marking the sale as over, since the link is now officially pointed into oblivion.. Thanks for the wonderful day of sales and discussions, and for those of you who got some new equipment, congratulations! Hope you enjoy them!
AKG-702's typically as they are fucking awesome, although as a gamer I also have a pair of Logitech G35 headphones which I used to use which aren't as bad as you might expect.
I also have some Klipsch Image S2's which I like for work where I can't have sound blasting around
I use my Sennheiser HD650 every day at my desk for nearly a year, they're practically as good as new. But they pretty much stay in only two places (on my head or on this
In any case, if I had to go with a gaming headset, it would probably be the Logitech G35
Instead of the Razer Megalodon, you could always get the Logitech G35. It also has 7.1 surround and is also rather comfortable. And it's about 37ish dollars cheaper.
And I just found out it has a voice changer...
Also $60 on Amazon.
$10 more will get you the wireless version.
I have had a set of Logitech G35 headphones for about a year now. I use them primarily for gaming, music, and movies when I don't want to disturb others in the house. They sound great, have an integrated mic, 3 programmable buttons, mute button, and volume wheel. These are some of the best headphones I've used and they are very well made, including heavy-duty shielding on the extra long cable.
Do you already have a mousepad/mat? I have the SteelSeries Experience i-2 glass/ceramic mousepad, and I absolutely love it. As for headsets, I have the Logitech G930, and while it's outside the 100 USD price range for you, I can vouch for the quality of Logitech, and the G35 is available on Amazon for about 100 bucks.
(as a side note, why are half the posts on gamingpc at zero or negative karma? do we have haters?)
He probably means the G35.
I would actually recommend you avoid headsets, as they are not particularily good at anything. alexistukov's recommendation is [almost] mine as well.
Logitech G35 has always worked for me. They are inexpensive ~75.
Amazon Link
Logitech G-35.
7.1 surround will let him pinpoint where the enemy is and turn and fire accurately. Great sound and the mic is good.
If you want a nice USB surround sound one, get this one Logitech G35. I personally vouch for it, others do as well.
If you want one with a 3.5 mm headphone jack, these are nice Steel Series Siberia.
A lot of people will tell you to go with a non-gamer headphone and a clip mic. As you get a bit more bang for your buck.
This is all according to preference though. My preference is in the order I listed, the surround sound is quite impressive. Hope this helps.
Before I looked into keyboards I was about to buy a G19s keyboard, then after 9 months or so I decided on Corsair.
I'll reply to this post after I sound test my headset, It's this one right here
Well, PS4 headsets are all primarily USB, so they'd work fine on PC. I'd get these:

Stand up mics are less ideal. they pick up outside noise, especially if you have a TV or music playing in the back ground.
having the mic next to your mouth really improves the fidelity.
I hate playing with people who have stand up mics. you can really tell
As for the laptop, I would rather you get the best information you can get, and in all honesty I am not exactly an expert with laptops and pc parts. For that I will direct you to one of the PC-related subreddits that we are partnered with on the sidebar, /r/gamingpc is probably a good place to start :)
As for the headset, I can definitely give you a confident answer in that field. I see that you are referring to your prices in euros, and I am not sure which country you are from or the availability of certain headsets in your country, so I'll find a couple suggestions for you.
Firstly, HyperX Butt Gaming Headset, $80 or roughly 73 euros. I hear amazing things about HyperX headsets and I always recommend these as a very good mix of quality and affordability as their sound quality is far far better than the price would suggest.
The second is the Logitech G35 which is $75 on amazon which is ~40% off. It has 7.1 surround sound and solid reviews.
If these don't work for you let me know and I'll find more!
Taken from RFD, according to LightningDrops it's the lowest price ever.
This is the #1 selling headset on Amazon.com, pretty great price. Logitech make quality products and ridiculously good customer service. Can't recommend more if you're in the market for a headset for gaming etc. anywhere near this price point.
The Logitech G35 headset is marked down to $80 on Amazon right now. These are comfortable (if a little bulky) and lasted me for about 2 years which is when the poly-vinyl on the earpieces started peeling off. The headphones still work though, and admittedly I could probably just fix them myself.

I'm currently using the Steelseries Siberia V2 and the are pretty good and marked down to $70 but a word of warning; if you consider these headphones, know that they are a little uncomfortable at first and also be sure to test the mic asap to ensure it works as the mine doesn't (good thing I never use that thing anyway lol).

If you want to spend a little more, logitech makes a very high rated 7.1 surround sound gaming headset. It has drivers for front and back, in addition to the sides. It's USB, so you don't have to buy a 7.1 sound card.
However, you can't plug it into a ipod or other portable devices.
Found the exact headphones, but wired. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-7-1-Channel-Surround-Sound-Headset/dp/tags-on-product/B001O5CCQK Think im going to buy them right now.
[](/soawesome "im so excited to watch mlp in surround sound")
Check out this one if you want wireless: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VANOFY
And this one if you are ok with wired: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001O5CCQK
I use the Logitech G35.
It has a mute key on the side and volume control so I can adjust the on the fly. It also has 3 programmable keys on the side that I bind to Start Record, Playback Voice, and End Record.
It was 100 bucks on Amazon:

There's a wireless version same price Logitech g930
Dont get the v3s ive owned 2 pairs and a pair of each version before them and always regret it. The v3s had many issues where the left earcup would either be significantly fainter than the right earcup or did not work at all, the only ones that i found good were the v1's id reccomend a good logitech headset or a audiotechnica one if you want to spend a bit more. If you want to get a logitech headset i highly reccomend this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O5CCQK/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687462&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B003VANOFY&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0XECEX46JEW60YQHRY4R
Its very consistent and very good for its price. As for if you want a standalone mic i have no idea.
I own TWO of these bad boys. They have amazing 7.1 3D sound. It actually gives me an advantage in FPS games too.
Hmm, if budget is a problem I would say either a gaming headsett which can come from anything from 70 to 100$ like the Logitech G35 or Turtle beach Earforce PX21 for 50-95$. If you're just looking for a good microphone I would say look at a microphone like SINN 7 Podcast microphone, which you can get for about 70-80$. These are just amazon prises, so i believe that you can get it cheaper somewhere from a local store, if not a online store in you're region. Getting the high quality sound would require a 60$+ Headset or microphone.
The SINN 7 Podcast microphone Is a really good microphone which I recommend you get if you plan on doing allot of these lore videos or something similar in the long run. As it is a cardioid microphone which is excellent for recording speeches/vocal, if you do get one of these I would also recommend you buy pop filter too, or just make one yourself, not that hard.
You have a really soothing voice, which is relaxing to listen to. So I recommend the SINN 7 or a microphone similar following the cardioid for recording vocals, as it can filter out allot of background noises.
NP. And it just went on sale on Amazon today
How cheap are you looking for? I've had great success using the Logitech G35, because it has a nice secure feel over your ears, provides high quality directional sound despite CSGOs oddities. I mean there are definitely cheaper and more expensive options out there.
Here
1: Benefits of Audio Jack: Mostly used on "audiophile" grated headsets which are not tuned for gaming, benefits of that is that you can run an external amp or dac ( or a combo of the two)
Benefits of USB headset: Soundcard driver is directly in the headset which means that custom software (in this instance made by logitech) allows you to equalize your sound to your prefered needs. This also ensures that you get extra features like Automute when putting the the boom mic up, and macro keys. which is not possible on Mini Jack.
2) Logitech G35 headsat have noise cancelation on the microphone (there is one mic for your mouth, and one for ambient noise, which it then removes as good as it can from teamspeak and so on)
3) Most people prefer Over the ear because if the headset is not "soft enough" you can get strains on your ears with the on ears, downside to over ear closed back headsets made of pleather in this instance is that they get hot on your ears after a few hours
hope this helped
I dunno, I just used that once.
I mean the "list price"

It was 140$ at future shop, and I got it for around 80$.
>I am investing in a pair of those really nice headphones with the mic though (any recommendations?)
It's generally recommended to purchase a decent set of headphones such as the Sennheiser HD555s paired with a clip-on mic. Although, if you insist on going the headset route, the Logitech G35 is what I use, and it's pretty great, albeit a bit heavyset. Another oft-recommended headset is the Steelseries Sibera.
Budget: $50 perfably under $40
Source: Gaming. Looking for something sturdier than "gaming" headphones. Want something I can here enemy's foot steps with. I'm looking for a headset that can fit over my ear and use for hours without getting uncomfortable.
Requirements for Isolation: My area isn't so loud, but the fans on my computer can be distracting. I'm not sure if this warrens a closed back.
Preferred Type: Over Ear. I have been using a smaller headset since mines broke and it's super uncomfortable for me to wear. My previous headset was the G35 and fit comfortably around my ears.
Preferred tonal balance: Honestly I don't know. I do voice chat sometimes, so whichever is better for gaming/voice chatting.
Past headphones: G35 (Which broke a year later)
Preferred Music: EDM
Other: My last two headsets were "Gaming headset" and broke in under a year. I'm looking for headset that aren't as cheep, but still fits comfortably on my head and great for games.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Would like a few recordings? As in like, one in a silent room, one with a conversation going, one of a possible EVP? Anything in particular you want?
If you don't mind, what kind of setup do you have? I have just been using my PC with Audacity and these SteelSeries head phones. I used to have a Logitech G35 headset, but the speakers went out. Neither of those are ideal for listening to EVPs I reckon.
Logitech G35. USB w/7.1 surround sound. Super comfortable and durable as well.
*also the inner band is metal which was a big deal for me. I've snapped the band on quite a few headsets.

These are pretty good, i have a lot of success pinpointing sound. Plus they are reasonably priced. Mic is clear for friends on discord.
Disclosure: it's my first pair of this type of headphones so I have nothing to compare to.
This is my current setup[Corsair Vengeance K90] (http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-k90-performance-mmo-mechanical-gaming-keyboard.html) This keyboard also has a volume adjuster! The red switches used for this keyboard are awesome for playing :)Mionix Naos 5000 Best mouse i've ever used. It is so incredibly comfortable it's sick. I have had it for like 2 years and I'm not planning to get another one for the next couple of years.(you could probably upgrade to 8200) Logitech G35 Also wireless :) It has surrond, and awesome quality. It has pretty good battery (like 10 hours) and it takes like 2-3 hours to fully charge.
If I may, I'd like to offer a counter statement. Full disclosure, I don't like Razer, but I'm wiling to give them some leniency.
Don't get 7.1 headphones because it's not actually physical 7.1, everything is on the software side. For that reason, you should be able to mimic similar sound with the correct software. and a quality stero headset.
I'd recomend buying a Kingston HyperX Cloud, which currently is $10 cheaper than the Logitech G35 on Amazon.
Then download a copy of the Razer Surround Software. It should be able to mimic virtual 7.1 on any headphones. I don't own a headset with build-in 7.1 drivers but I think it's alright.
Long story short, you can save $10, and still get some kickass hardware and virtual sound.
Logitech G35 Headset new in the box
best buy has it for $60 on their website
on amazon for $60 as well
Logitech G35 is good, relatively cheap and lasts long.
I used these before I upgraded to a Snowball mic and noise cancelling headphones.
I bought these a few months back and have been very pleased. I was originally using a cheaper Turtle Beach headset so it was definately an upgrade. As with anything, you can spend more money to get a better set, but these are great if you can buy them on sale.
I used to listen to music with these while cleaning my apartment and found the wireless range to be ~40 feet (12m).
Personally, I find these headphones very comfortable and can keep them on for extended periods of time.
Quality is comparable to the Logitech G35 headset, which you can get on sale for $75 now. (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-7-1-Channel-Surround-Sound-Headset/dp/B001O5CCQK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413812403&sr=8-1&keywords=Logitech+G35) However, you pay extra for the wireless feature.
Finally, the battery life on my set lasts ~8-10 hours of continuous use before I have to plug them in again. The battery is noticeably longer than the one in my Logitech G700s mouse.
Good luck with your purchase!
Talking about the Logitech G35.
It really isn't that hard to attempt, depending on your laptop of course.
You would just remove a few screws, take the case off, and then hold a heat gun to it for a bit, till the solder melts (trying to keep the hot air away from everything else of course).
However, if you have never done anything of the sort before, I would just buy a usb sound card / headphones.
Here is a REALLY cheap one, with free shipping. Not the best, and the "7.1" is virtual, but it will do stereo fine. This is quite a bit better, with real surround sound 5.1 support, for pretty cheap still (if you get a usb sound card, I would get this one).
You can also get this as a cheap usb headset. Logitech is a good brand, so they could be pretty good headphones. For a bit more, you can get this one which has 5.1 surround sound, force feedback (awesome for games), ect. Also Arctic is a good brand, though with coolers stuff. However, if you have the money, I would get this. It is 7.1 surround sound, and Logitech. But ALOT of money.
I don't known what OS you use, but all of them should work with Windows. I also know that the second usb sound card works on linux, and the rest should work too, as ever random usb sound stuff I hooked up just worked (and Linux just rules with stuff like this). However, if you use OSX, that I don't know. Might be best to get one that specifically supports OSX.
Corsair H1500 sounds like what you're looking for, as far as value to money scale goes.
There are better headsets for more money, and there are better headsets without mics for the same, but the all-around balance for something under $70 that will do the job is most likely this one.

If you want to spend a bit more, check out the Logitech G35 headset. Once again, same disclaimer as above, but this is the most common ~$100 headset that's worth the cash.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dBF76h ($732.60 initial cost, after rebates $662.59)
This is something i would recommend. It starts you off with enough power to be able to stream with plenty of room to upgrade if you wish. You can swap out the i5 for an i7 if plan on rendering videos to YouTube. Also you could decide to get Nvidia 780TI if you prefer it over AMD. As well as add in an SSD. Operating system i did not include on here i do not what you would want(windows 7 and or 8.1 or even Linux).
Building up a PC is actually very cheap. Also some add ons if you do not already own them. (please feel free to check other sites to see if you can get it cheaper)

I am considering these, I generally have avoided wireless.
Either this one or the wired version.
My old ones broke near where the earpiece connects to the headband and I thought Logitech usually has better quality peripherals.
I like the Logitech G35.

I've been using this headset (Logitech G35) for a while now.
Sturdy, clear sounding as far as I know, and surround sounds great in-game. The mute button, the volume control and the media controls are all nice and on your head, so you don't have to fumble around with your wire any time you want to mute yourself or change a song.
The only issue with the media control buttons is that they can't be rebound to more useful things.
If you're looking for something a bit cheaper, and don't mind going analog, as opposed to USB, I use these headphones (Razer Orca) for listening to music, and I've seen this clip-on mic recommended in other threads.
Used in conjunction, those two are supposedly crazy good for the money.
i love the logitech g35. I know it's out of your price-range but there are refurb ones on amazon for like 80. Seriously sick headset.
I'm not an audiophile but I was gunning for the cheapest 7.1 Surround Sound headset awhile ago, I found the cheapest one to be Logitech's G35. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-7-1-Channel-Surround-Sound-Headset/dp/B001O5CCQK
It was a bit cheaper when I bought it, either way its an excellent headset, has done me well in many FPS's as well as games in general. Been using it while playing DotA 2 and its awesome. They fit really well and are adjustable, if you dont wear them properly tho they can start to weigh on your ears after a couple of hours, its pretty heavy. Hope this helps, take care.
No problem at all. Glad I could help!
Just a heads up: The G35 is on sale on Amazon for $92 and the G930 is on sale for $100. For the couple dollar difference, I would suggest the G930, but the decision is totally yours. It DOES look like the G930 has a sturdier build, but the G35looks sleeker.
The only Thermaltake keyboard I've had personal experience with was very low quality in both build and use satisfaction, it wound up having connection issues within a year.
As long as the PSU is decent quality it'll have no issue putting out the required power, I've got a modular 750W from Corsair that's been going just fine for four years.
This is the headset I have right now, its pretty low cost and I don't have any gripes with it.
100% do not get the g430, they leak too much sound! I would heavily recommend getting these logitech g35! They have to be the worlds best headset and the mic is pretty awesome too!
I had logitech G35s for a while, very solid headphones, great mic, fair sound quality, nice braided cable. I've since upgraded to the G930 which is essentially the same thing but wireless but, it's over $100.

The G35's have 7.1 surround sound, but are the Audio-Technica's better? Having a mic doesn't matter to me, I have another mic.
Budget - $150
Source - My on-board sound card.
Requirements for Isolation - None.
Preferred Type of Headphone - Full-sized
Preferred tonal balance - I have no preference.
Past headphones - Klipsch X11's, S4 II's, and Playstation Stereo Headset.
Preferred Music - Competitive Counter Strike.
Thanks in advance!
Seriously, this or this.
In my opinion, probably best headset for price. Plus it's on sale!
Get Logitech G35
I already have Sennheiser HD 280 Pros. I love them, I was looking at this. http://www.amazon.ca/Logitech-7-1-Channel-Surround-Sound-Headset/dp/B001O5CCQK
i absolutely love my Logitech G35 i've had the same pair for 4+ years, only problem is the leather on the ear cups starts rubbing off after ~1 year

DO NOT get any "gaming" labeled headset. You will only pay more for something of equal or crappier quality. They usually don't last and will not necessarily give you a more immersive experience. Get this and save yourself the extra $100 for games. I personally have tried out this headset, and I can tell you it is a beast, you can hear helicopters flying above you, and enemies trying to knife you from behind (huge advantage for FPS's). It is also great for music since it has a built-in soundcard. Good luck reaching gaming nirvana bro!
