Been playing on the Squad RIP server for a couple weeks now and really enjoying it. I don't have a headset though. Looking for recommendations for an affordable headset which will do a good job! Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks x

I'm thinking a maximum of £50? I'm not looking for anything too fancy, just something that'll get the job done!

My last headset was a logitech g430, used it for around 2-3 years or so. Served me pretty well, not too expensive. Whats your budget?

I'd check out either Astro A10 or the Hyper x headset people have suggested. I haven't used the A10 but have A40's and I like them a lot, I don't know about that other headset but have a keyboard made by them and it's lovely. I'm sure others will keep popping in so just keep checking what the peoples say init. One little bit of advice I would give though is spend as much as you can on a set it will pay off in the future my two crappy Razer headsets are evidence to this :thumbup:

I don't have personal experience, but I have heard good thing about the Steelseries Arctis 1 as an entry level headset. It should also fit the price tag neatly ^^

If you can afford it though, I would suggest getting something a tad fancier, headsets are really important in my opinion, from generally wanting good quality audio but also comfort. I would recommend pretty much anything from Sennheiser, HyperX Cloud II's or Alpha, and lastly Logitech G Pro headphones. Any of those will be great!

If you can, I'd recommend going a tad higher than £50. Audio is really important, especially in a game like Squad.
I'd recommend saving a bit longer and look at higher end Hyper x or stuff like beyerdynamic Dt770 with a modmic etc.

Yeah I forgot to mention that, I recommend getting a standalone mic. Either a desk mic or a ModMic, the ones that come with headsets are pretty ass generally ^^

If you cannot spend much money Logitech G430 is quite a good headset and not very expensive, microphone is good quality and it has surround sound which is a big help in games like squad, I've used it for a long time now and still happy with it ^^
