    Question Gaming Headset?

    Hello! I would like some recommendations on good gaming headset. Preferably not overly expensive but ones that would be good for first person shooter, specifically Overwatch and works well in discord. My wife needs a new pair and I would like to get her some but have no idea what to even look for. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!

    Does your wife wear glasses? Some headsets may be less comfortable than others when users have glasses on.

    What's your ideal budget? Inexpensive to one person isn't necessarily inexpensive to the next.

    Wireless or wired, or is either fine?

    Does she have any particular style of headphones she's liked or more particularly not liked before? For example she may or may not have ever had headphones that completely wrap around her entire ear, so a headset with earphones in that style would be a new experience (which could be good or bad!).

    I was hoping anywhere like $50 to maybe over $100?

    Wired is fine! That's what she is using currently and she hasn't said anything about it bothering her.

    She does have glasses and seems to prefer the wrap around ear model with movable mic compared to like ear buds or something like that.

    Thank you!

    I can also attest to it being comfortable for those with glasses but I definitely think @(you need an account to see links) has some good advice about looking into different features (:
    Of course after I make this board she mentions wanting to stay within the logitech line lol Thank you for the recommendation though! I may get her to try something new too lol

    That does sound nice because she has volume issues right now with the headset she currently has. I'll look into them though. Thank you!

    My wife had Logitech G230 for many years before she wore them out. It looks like the Logitech G332 is a pretty natural upgrade from this.

    We went to Steelseries Arctis last year, I'm not totally in love with them, but they are a LOT more expensive than Logitech.
