Looking for new headphones

PoptartBoi · Jan 19, 2017

Sadly my headphones died. They were a cheap pair and really liked them but want to get a upgrade. looking to spend up to $60 been looking at Turtle Beach but want a pair with blue LEDs like my mouse, keyboard and PCs cooling fans. Looking for some suggestions

I've been looking into these two:
Turtle Beach earforce PX22
E-Blue EHS950 FPS Auroza

The pair I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IJGU67O/?tag=tec06d-20

No LEDs, but very good value for money.

Of those two I would get the Turtle Beach headset.

I haven't used my Turtle Beach headset in many years but they still work and they still look good. I bought mine back in 2006 or 2007 and they worked well for years.

I decided to buy some new headsets myself for me and the family. After reading reviews I decided on one SteelSeries - Arctis 5 for myself and two HyperX - Cloud Stinger headsets (one for the kid and one for the wife)

We always seem to have a hard time when PC gaming and using TeamSpeak. I just decided to buy all new headsets and I hope we all have a good experience going forward.

HyperX - Cloud Stinger is what I would go for. Never been a fan of Turtle Beach headsets, and dont know a thing about E-Blue.

Stop using TS. Discord dude! Make a server just for your family, and its free.

@MxPhenom 216 Ive thought about that but I have had my TS server for like 3 years. It's hard to let go. lol

Can't beat the sound for the price on the HyperX's.

E-Blue is just a cheaper Chinese brand. I've been using their mouse, keyboard and headphones I've had no problems with the keyboard and mouse had them for around 2-3 years now, headphones I've had for 2. They look good and have decent sound quality.(Not the best but pretty good)

If I have to choose between these two, then my vote goes to Turtel Beach.
