    Hello all, I'm currently looking to upgrade my currnt headset mic and I was hoping for some suggestions. Quality wise the one I'm using is excellent, particularly the voice input but it has one major downside and that is it becomes very uncomfortable around the ears if used for more than an hour.

    I normally use it for shorter periods but whenever I stream or record podcasts it has become a real distraction.

    Would really appreciate any recommendations. Ideally below £40 if possible.

    I've been hearing pretty good things about the HyperX Cloud Stinger headset, considering that it's $50 on Amazon. It ends with a single 3.5 mm jack though, but I'm sure there's a dongle out there than can fix that.

    My second recommendation would be the Logitech G430, which I've been hearing okay things about for $40 on Amazon. I wouldn't record a podcast with it (or with any gaming headset to be honest), but it should get the job done well enough.
