I have a friend who needs a better headset than the junk her work gave her to work from home with. She complains it's just uncomfortable...hurts the top of her head. She's tried everything to make the supplied one work, even wrapping a sock around the top of it. It must go. I gave her a gaming headset to try out to see if comfort was really the big factor. She likes it. It's a HyperX Cloud headset (whichever one is specifically designed for Xbox. It's not the Cloud II, and I don't think it's the Core, but I'm not sure exactly). Her only complaint with it is that the noise-canceling aspect of it really bothers her. She wants to be able to hear her surroundings, and I have to agree after discussing it with her and finding out why it's a big deal. Connection type doesn't matter, it can be a 3.5mm or USB. A mute button isn't even required, her work software has it's own. Looks don't matter either. It can be gaming-oriented or office-oriented.
That said, does anyone know of a good quality headset that is at least tolerable regarding all of the following, and prioritzed in order:
NON-noise-canceling (reasonably), comfortable, mic clarity, sound.
That's it. She's really not picky. I only know gaming stuff, and all of it is noise-canceling. Budget is probably $100, but that's flexible, and obviously the lower the better.
Random thought as I'm typing this...does HyperX sell different earcups that aren't noise canceling? That would solve the issue also.
Thanks in advance for any input.
