Alright, /g/, I need some advice. I'm looking for a new headset for my PC, and I'm really not sure where to even start. I'm trying to keep it around $100 or less, and I've found a lot of options while browsing Newegg. The problem is, all the reviews on every single headset they list differ wildly, with some people saying "this is the best headset I've ever owned", and others saying "this is absolutely trash that doesn't work." It would be nice if there was some sort of general consensus somewhere down the middle, but this disparity seems to be the case for every single headset on there.
So, /g/, where the hell should I even start? Got any recommendations?

Get the corsair one, is decent.
Also, do your own research.
Get a decent stand alone mic and a decent pair of headphones. Gaymen headsets are a meme

don't get one

OP do this, check out headphone general for a bit then get some good cheap ones. Desk mics don't really matter, anything works

you can go try hard and get a yeti or AT2020 but for real it's not necessary unless you are trying to produce something. those aren't even excellent microphones but they are decent enough.
for bullshitting with nerds on teamspeak you don't need to spend that much if you don't want to.

I don't like to push to talk while I'm gaming. The mic would be on constantly, and I have children. Is a stand-alone mic going to cancel any of that out, or are the people on the other end of the line going to hear screaming brats while I'm gaming?

For your budget, HyperX Cloud is the best.

Cloud, or Cloud 2?

If you'd hear it in the headset you could probably hear it on the desk mic. You can change the sensitivity of both too

you can change the sensitivity in your Voip clients but finding a good balance that will pick up your comfortable speaking voice but not a screaming child across the room might be difficult.
you could get a desk mic with a physical mute button. I don't know if it is pitiful or not that this is my most used feature on my Yeti

look at youtube reviews to get an idea of mic quality.
and since gaming gear is a rip off, consider doing the headphones + stand alone mic combo.
i wanted wireless, so i got a used headset off craigslist for 1/3 of the price of new and it works great.

I have a G430 and if you INSIST on a headset, in my opinion, it is the way to go, or the G230 if you don't care about surround sound.
But recently I just switched to the meme combo of M50X's and a Blue Snowball and it's working...Just as good except my music sounds better and people can hear my MX Blues over Discord.
Step 1: Headphones with good soundstage. Some budget possibilities include: Panasonic RP-HTF600s, Sony MDR7506
Step 2: A mic: Zalman, Blue Snowball, Modmic, or even the fucking USB mic of your webcam
Step 3: Use them together and enjoy your gaymen headset.
Avoid any audio products with the word "gamer" on them.
