 Best headphones for gaming under 50. Top 5 gaming headsets. If you're looking for a headset while on a budget This video is for you. All headphones will include the mics and be compatible with all platforms. Number 5 is the Logitech G332 gaming headset. This headset is worth $40 because it offers almost everything mid-range headsets offer. I wouldn't say the cushioning is the most comfortable But it still has a lot of cushioning for a $40 headset. I don't know why but the cushioning doesn't feel as soft as others. Feels my firm. Sound quality is alright. Not the best obviously But you can definitely hear the game with no problems on this. You are sort of limited because the only color option is red. The big quality is odd to me because the headphone cups are squared out. The plastic does look a little cheap, but hey, what do you really want? That's less than $40. Number 4 is the SteelSeries Arctis 1. This headset looks super clean for your setup And it looks like $100 headphones. Build quality is very similar to other Arctis models like the 7. Although most of it is plastic, the band is metal and it comes in light at around 270 grams. The comfort of these headphones are top-notch because of the ear cups. They fit snug inside your ears. The mic eliminates background noise, but not too much. It's flexible so you can move it in different positions. The mic is able to be separated. Combine this with the clean and durable design. You can go out in public with these without too much attention. These headphones are very flexible so you can put them in various positions while traveling or on your desk. You have a mic mute button along with a volume slider on the left ear cup. The sound quality is very good because it has the same drivers as the higher-end Arctis models. One thing I don't like about the sound though is there isn't as much bass. That's probably not gonna affect how you hear footsteps and stuff, but still. Number 3 is the Corsair HS50 headphones. These are excellent value. Although nothing really stands out, it's a solid choice for headphones under $50. It has 50 millimeter drivers, which has sound quality on par 2. For example, the Astro A20. Although not as much bass as we would like, it still packs a punch. I think the build quality of the headset is the best because many parts like the cup are made out of metal and not plastic. They don't feel like they would snap in half. Also, the mic is great because it can be detached and the quality sounds good. Number 2 is the Hyper-X Cloud Stinger. This is all around great value for what you're paying. The audio sounds great with its 50 millimeter drivers. The mic is decent, it's very comfortable because of its padding and memory foam, and the design is simple and gamer-like. If you just want headphones under $50, most people would just purchase these because of the value you're getting. Every review said nothing but good things and a few bad things they served off because it was only $40. So while it says number 2 and not number 1, well in my opinion, Razer Kraken X headphones beats it in some categories like surround sound and design. The Kraken X is the cheapest headphones out of the lineup, but it still has most of the features that the higher end models offer. It offers sound on par with the Razer Kraken, and in my opinion and experience, it has the best sound in the $50 price point. The comfort is phenomenally better than the rest too. It really felt like some $100 premium headphones. The design is pretty good. Surround sound is a feature that not many headphones have in this price range, but these do. It helps hear footsteps and chase audio to a certain direction. There are two drawbacks that I have for these though, and the first is the mic is not retractable. Although I highly suggest you upgrade to a better headset like the normal Kraken, for $10 more because of the improvements like a retractable mic. The other problem is that the mic isn't really that good. So if you have an external mic, that might be pretty good for you. The headset is all plastic, but it's lighter because of it. So that could be really good for you. Most of the headphones on this list are on sale most of the time, and that will make them value even better. What do you think about this topic?
