Chinese / Asian Brand Info Thread (On or Over Ear Headphones)

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.

Thanks for the response. Looking for the latter, and looking for a friend. I'll recommend to him the previously mentioned Oneodio or the HyperX Cloud.

Or a VModa Boom Pro ($30 Amazon), which is compatible with most headphone with a single entry 3.5mm jack on the earcup (the exception being ones with proprietary locking plugs like Sennheiser, ISK MD9000 etc).

I know people that have used the Boom Pro with Beats Solo, Bluetooth T3, Fidelity X2, Philips SHP9500, etc.

I have never seen a Oneoido in person, so I don’t know if it has a locking plug or just a standard 3.5mm jack in the cup. You can also check out some Superlux headphones, as they offer a lot of bang for the buck.

But the Boom Pro is great because it’s high quality noise cancelling mic, with inline volume and mute controls.

For the Yenona/OneOdio, the 3.5 jack on the cup is terrible, doesn't lock in the cable but it also has a 6.3 jack that does secure in so I use a 3.5 female to 6.3 adapter and plug in a 3.5 cable.. It's a known flaw.

Check my post above friend. I listed a number of <$30 gaming headphone options from Blinq.

Go with the OneOdio on Amazon for $33. Has a mic on the cable and its a solid headphone.

I don’t have any problem with my regular 3.5 cable.

As for a cheap gaming headset, the Sharkoon Skiller SGH2 is a really good offering. Didn't deep dive into that category, but heard it and was impressed.
