Headset recommendations?

The Steelseries Arctis 7 is a good headset; wireless, decent mic, fits my big ass head well, and sounds decent without any mixing software whatsoever (the steelseries mixer is kinda shit though just install a more fleshed out mixer if you intend to mess around with shit like that). With a good mixing software though the quality is great. You should be able to find one at or under $100 too and that's crazy cause it's wireless.
Hey there, I've been using Sennheiser headsets for years and am currently using Epos Sennheiser GSP 600, it's going to set you back around 140-160 bucks, depending on where you buy em, it also has a built in mic which is fairly good quality since I'm one for headset mics instead of separate ones, it also has replaceable earmuff polstering in case they break or tear, Sennheiser and Epos have a few other good products if you're looking for something newer but this one is my personal recommendation, here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-GSP-600-Professional-Headset/dp/B078VM929R
Edit: I realise these are probably trivial details but I wanted to add that the headset is wired, it has a built in wheel to increase or lower the volume as needed including the ability to deafen without having to tab out and the microphone can be muted too by simply flipping it up, it also has soundproofing, all these things combined in my opinion make it perfect if you have a noisy environment and have to mute yourself or drown out the surrounding noise on a whim, the cable is Decently long meaning you can move around a fair bit while wearing it and it's pretty comfortable to wear during extended periods of time on account of how adjustable it is.

I use Corsair Void Pro Wireless - if you like how my mic quality sounds then buy it. It goes around your ears which is nice and makes me barely have to take them off if I am using my pc for longer periods of time. Wireless delay is minimal and It hasn’t affected me in fps games. I used to have the wired version but the wire broke and i like the wireless one more.
At that price range, you'll probably want to use an independent headphone + mic.
I am personally using these right now and I love them: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00018MSNI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note though-- they are the exact opposite of noise cancelling. I wanted open-back headphones because I wanted to be able to hear around me at anytime. The audio is absolutely excellent though.
If you want something like this, and still want that headset feel then of course, modmic would be the go-to recommendation to pair it with: https://www.amazon.com/Antlion-Audio-Attachable-Microphone-Headphones/dp/B07KQF165L/
