Choosing between three budget headsets.

monkeyRAMdriver · Apr 13, 2015

Hello, I have been looking for a cheap headset since recently my ear buds just haven't been cutting it lately, I have narrowed down three choices that are in my price range and I figured I would get some advice that wasn't only from the "reviews" section. Here are my choices:

1. Ear Force X12- http://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Gaming-Headset-Amplified-Xbox-360/dp/B00E5UHSX8/?tag=georiot-grd-20&ascsubtag=bestheadset

2. Sennheiser PC 310- http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-310-Gaming-Headset/dp/B0087ZMATE/?tag=georiot-grd-20&ascsubtag=bestheadset

3. Plantronics GameCom 380- http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom-380-Stereo-Headset/dp/B006ZS5AQA/?tag=georiot-grd-20&ascsubtag=bestheadset

Now I'm not crazy about the look so if you have had experience with one of these that would be good. My criteria are comfortablity (work with me here), mic quality and of course overall build quality. Thanks for you advice it is very appreciated.

i have no experience with these headsets but if i had to pick one i'd probably get the Ear Force X12. I have a Logitech G430 Headset and i can say that's it's a pretty good headset for the same budget point. Really nice sound (base is a little weak) but the mic is really nice

P.S. back when i bought this headset it was $50

now i feel ripped off

Yeah the earforce is the best overall, if you would prefer sound quality rather than mic go for the sennheiser

I recommend going with the Sennheiser or Plantronics for overall quality, but since the Sennheiser is a on-ear (not recommended for gaming) I'd replace it for the Turtle Beach. With experience I found that Turtle Beach doesn't have the best quality compared to some of the others but its still a great headset. Some other headsets I highly recommend are:

Plantronics Gamecom 388 (newer model of the 380) - http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-GameCom-Gaming-Stereo-Headset/dp/B00LIQGJBE/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428965285&sr=1-1&keywords=plantronics+gamecom+388

Steelseries RAW Prism (only comes in white) - http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Siberia-Prism-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00O06ZN3O/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428965485&sr=1-1&keywords=steelseries+raw+prism

Steelseries 5Hv3 - http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-Gaming-Headset-Tablets-Phones/dp/B00EH5V1IO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428965558&sr=1-1&keywords=steelseries+5hv3+headset

Creative SB Inferno - http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Blaster-Inferno-Detachable-GH0290/dp/B00J2J8G6A/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1428965612&sr=1-3&keywords=creative+headset

Those are some other good headsets I recommend, Hope this helps!
