[LFH] [XBOX/PC] [$50] [US]

I don't have a lot of money as I currently am not in a position to have a job. I do have around $150 to mess around with, but I don't wanna blow it all on a headset. I'm not looking for the best thing ever, I just want something that'll last me a bit and decently comfortable with an okay sound quality. I do play games but im not very competitive. I don't know if I'm asking to much, though. I don't care if it's wireless (preferably not honestly) but I just need something that isn't actively bad. I've been on amazon for an hour and I just haven't found anything in my budget that is rated well whatsoever (on reddit and such)

Currently eyeballing the Turtle Beach Recon Spark (its on a hefty sale over at Amazon rn)

I usually have to deal with $20 ones from walmart that get broken really fast, so I'm not really knowledgeable on stuff like this and I don't want something to break immediately.

[LFH][PC][50€-100€] need help finding a good fps headset

I previously had the hyperx stinger and the razer kraken x, and since both of those broke, im looking for help to find a good headset, wired, for PC gaming, mostly fps games like cs2, valorant, r6s, etc
My budget is max 100€, but would prefer something around 50€, maybe even less if they are actually a good budget option. I have a large head and i wear glasses, so bear in mind that it cant be a really narrow or fragile headset

[Tech Support] - Does the perfect cross between these two headsets exist?

I'm calling the reddit experts: help me find my white whale, or tell me I'm stupid and what I have wrong about my request.

I own two working pairs of headphones for use at my computer, both for gaming and for discord/teams/zoom calls.

My true love:

Sennheiser GSP 500 https://www.reddit.com/r/Gaming_Headsets/comments/ce6ks7/discussion_sennheiser_gsp_500_honest_review/

They are open backed, have great sound quality, and a solid microphone. And, they don't break the bank either. I liked them so much, I got multiple and have been cannibalizing the spares for parts to keep one set working.

At present, its the wired aspect that's the issue. I'll get my leg caught on the cable, or yank the cable as I stand up. I'll slightly bump or rub against the cable and it will cause feedback on the microphone for my friends that I'm talking to. For that reason, I think wired might be out, unless theres a way to fix that specific issue.

So I got a wireless headset:

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro https://www.razer.com/gaming-headsets/razer-blackshark-v2-pro?srsltid=AfmBOooRXAEliO02derq7io4nes4ZWCgwB7bi4W2UNdsM6NdrxHvvWG4

The sound quality isn't what I'd prefer, but the main issue is that they are close-backed: when I talk, my voice sounds strange and muffled, and it distracts me. It might be something I get used to over time, but genuinely, it would be worth getting a different headset for this.

So what I'm looking for is either:

  1. Open-backed, wireless headphones that aren't like, abysmally bad.
  2. A solution to the cable issue for my wired GSP 500s. The cable is 2.5mm TRS on the headset side (this is the tech support bit, idk if its a tech support issue or an intrinsic problem with wired headsets)

Do either of these exist? I would genuinely appreciate the expertise here. (and ty for reading, if you got this far)
