Any headset aficionados here care to recommend some decent headsets at affordable/reasonable price points?

Ask Malaysians :blurp:

Prefacing, I am a headset dummy. Been using G633s for the past 2-4 years, and the experience has been disappointing to say the least.

People keep telling me to buy Logitech products as they're the most durable and reasonable among range of gaming headsets brands, but the G633s has been incredibly underwhelming. Two years post-purchase, the bottom half of the strap broke, exposing the wires. A year or two later, the top half of the strap starts showing wear and tear, and soon the wires are completely exposed, which causes audio detection issues on the PC.

I've been told gaming headsets are typically a marketing gimmick, and your regular high-quality headset works just fine. I've explored several brands including HyperX Cloud 2, Stinger, and Razer BlackShark V2 X USB, but I still get the feeling I've left many stones unturned.

Budget wise, I'm hoping to nail something decent between the ranges of RM100-200 at best, RM150 is a very nice stopping point, but happy to scale the budget to RM300 if it is something incredibly long-lasting and amazing for its price point. Lessson learned spending RM500 on G633s only to end up with something so delicate.

Not expecting Sennhaiser-quality headset, though that being said, I wouldn't mind if someone knew of a good-quality Sennhaiser for that price point. Standard clear and crisp audio, an in-built mic with clear audio that doesn't sound muffled, and a pleather strap would be nice. I rarely use the entirety of the headset, it mostly sits around my neck with the mic near my mouth as I speak to my friends on Discord. That's really it.
