New headset ~€80

MajesticDonkey

The microphone appears to be fooked in my Creative HS800 headset, so I'm looking to buy a new set.

I'm ideally looking to spend €70-80 - some I've been looking at:
- ASUS ROG Orion: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009NN3DFE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&tag=stalitmed-21&creativeASIN=B009NN3DFE&linkCode=as2
- Corsair Vengence 1400: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F0IZQ3S/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&tag=stalitmed-21&creativeASIN=B00F0IZQ3S&linkCode=as2
- ASUS ROG Echelon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AZQSXVC/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&tag=stalitmed-21&creativeASIN=B00AZQSXVC&linkCode=as2

What are Razer headsets like?

I've also looked as the Astro A40s, but I think they're a bit out of range. They're only $150 on the US site, and if they were this cheap here I'd take them straight away, but they're £130 on the UK site, which is €155.

All help and advice appreciated.

Why not a separate mic, from the suggested headsets and your current one you don't plan on using it on a console.

Never really thought of that! It'll be used with a PC only. I also should have mentioned that it'll be plugged into a sound Creative Sound Blaster Titanium sound card. I don't really have a lot of space on my desk for a standalone mic, so would ideally like one built into the headset.

Actually, I didn't realise there was a dedicated "Headphones and Portable Audio Devices" forum, so if a mod could move this thread to there that would be great. Thanks.
