I have currently decided to buy a new headset, for gaming and lets plays etc. My price range is around $50-$70.

I have my eyes on one at the moment for the price of $69, but am unsure with the durability. The 'Plantronics GameCom 777 Headset'. Apparently it is great for a lot of things. But, I have heard a lot of complaints on its durability. After around a few months to a year, it breaks through some thin cheap plastic they have made certain areas with.

All of this, it slightly frightened me and pushed me to look further into other brands etc. Another headset that caught my eye for $59 is the 'Turtle Beach ear Force Z2 Headphones'. It is said they are good, but the audio apparently isn't as good, and slightly staticy you might say. To be honest, I wouldn't know which of these are better though. They both are said to break quickly after bought and are both great deals.

I understand how yes, they are cheap, and obviously the cheaper it is, it is probably out of date and not as good as others.

So yeah, what I really want to know is, are there any other better brands or better all round headsets out there around that price range? Thanks guys.


My sincerest apologies, I now see there is already a thread just made for this.
