Similarly to the Astro Gaming A10, the Razer Kraken comes from a tried and tested manufacturer and offers a great budget option when it comes to headsets.

Another Razer product and a slight step up from the Kraken, the BlackShark V2 offers you a 7.1 surround sound experience, memory foam cushions to facilitate longer gaming sessions and offers compatibility with basically all consoles on the market as well as PC.

The Cloud II offers 7.1 surround sound, interchangeable (memory foam) ear pads and compatibility with all recent consoles as well as PC. At $69, it’s still a very affordable headset.
