So ive been using my old Plantronics 777 headset for years & its definitely showing its age in terms of audio quality. Theres a round dial built into the headset to adjust how loud the audio is & unfortunately I always have it set at max just to hear the sound good enough. Even then, sometimes the sound doesnt fully come thru on my right side & I have to play with the dial to make sure it comes through properly. Ive been doing this for easily 2 years now & im ready to upgrade.

The last headset I had my eyes on was the Hyper X Cloud, but I know theres new ones on the market, so id like feedback on what to keep my eyes out for. Hopefully something around the ballpark of $50 will be solid. It would be great if it was still 3.5 mm jack (yes im still that old school), but if its usb I guess ill have to go with it. I know that some headsets still do the combo (which is what mine is & I never used the usb part). So looking forward to the feedback I get on this topic.
 
Would look into the Corsair Void line of headsets.

Real plain, but they do their job.
 
Agreed on the Corsair HS50's. Have a pair myself. But I am biased towards Corsair anyway. My headset, KB, Mouse, Memory, Mouse pad (aluminum), CPU heatsink and casefans (LL120's with lighting node pro and a commander pro) are all Corsair.
 
Im using the RedDragon Zeus right now and they are lowkey fire. The audio is amazing but you have to take the padding out and the microphone is pretty amazing for $50
