This is probably a silly request, but any recommendations for a closed back over-the-ear headphone with mic for under $30?

I follow this. I need closed back cans for like 30$ which i can use for gaming in my very noisy house.

If you are in the US I have a pair of the Yenona Studio Pro

I no longer have the stock mic cable though.

I had to sell ATH msr7 although I love them because I can't wear them for too long because of their clamping pressure, which is a more comfortable alternative with same sound and still closed ?

ATH-MSR7b has less clamping force, revised driver, lighter weight, and supports a balanced connection via A2DC jacks (it comes with a 4.4mm Pentacon balanced cable in addition to a standard TRS cable, and aftermarket cables designed for other Audio-Technica A2DC headphones like the MSR9 work as well).

Absolutely: Oneodio Studio DJ Wireless. Attachable mic, really good sound quality for the price and wired and wireless just as good.

I don't see a wireless for around $30. Are you referring this wired one for $32.99? https://www.amazon.com/OneOdio-Adapter-Free-Headphones-Professional-Telescopic/dp/B01N6ZJH96

When you say you want a headphone with microphone for $30, are you referring to a boom mic, or is the microphone built into the inline cable of most headphones adequate?

Because if you want a decent headphone AND decent boom mic, that’s honestly wishful thinking for $30. You’re either going to have to up your budget, or settle for choosing 1 (decent headphone, decent microphone) but not both.

Of course you could score a used or refurbished setup for $30, like from eBay or maybe a 2nd hand shop. Something like a used HyperX Cloud.

Or for $30 you could buy a genuine (not generic knockoff) VModa Boom Pro coupled with a headphone that you already own. That’s what I’d do.

But if you try and get both for $30, as much as you reeaaaaally want it, you’re gonna end up with a headphone that breaks or falls apart after 6 months, an echoey mic that picks up every keyboard and button click along with every ambient noise in your environment (which everyone in your game will constantly complain about and will get really irritating really fast), or both.

It’s a unicorn, and trust me every gamer in the world is after the perfect gaming headphone that:

1. Sounds good, with good imaging and soundstage
2. Has a good noise cancelling mic
3. Is built well enough to last more than 6-12 months
4. Is cheap
5. Is comfortable to wear for hours

At $30, you can pick 2 of those 5 things.
