Hey guys, looking for gaming headset recommendations. Budget is 80 USD. The mic doesn't have to be SUPERB (it hardly ever is), but decent enough. No wireless headsets, I need the wired connection for reasons below:

I stream regularly, so I need it to have an analog audio port, so I can plug it into my mixer when I need to monitor my voice on my condenser mic, but also a USB connection for when I don't stream, so the headset is functional. A good example of this two-port headset is the Logitech G633. It worked well, but the mic quality was absolute AIDS. (Though, if there's nothing better, then maybe I will just return to it...)

No Steelseries, No Corsair, No HyperX, please.

Thanks!

Really should look at a desktop Mic separate of your headset if you're taking streaming seriously.

Logitechs have great wireless headsets, but since you don't want one, Id go Plantronics, Astros or Sennheiser
Plantronics - good quality, Durable as hell
Astros - Comes with some really cool features, good quality - not so durable
Sennheiser - top of the line Headsets, you won't be disappointed
Thats my opinion from using those types of headsets.

However, you can use the g966 Logitechs as a wired and wireless, comes with Audiojack and USB connection.

Literally just bought this because it was only £1.19. Even if it's shite, still a decent backup

The Hyperx cloud 2 can be used with the normal jackplug and with his own soundcard trough usb.With its own soundcard it has 7.1 surround wich is really awesome while gaming, waay better than my logitech 7.1 (ahum not really surround compared to the Cloud2)
