Entry level: Astro Gaming A10

Astro makes a bunch of great headsets but its new entry-level model, the A10, is very compelling. It's really affordable; it's also wired and made from "damage resistant polycarbonate" so it should be able to take a beating in your bag if you game on the road. The design definitely fits within Astro's family, with large cups that cover the ears and nice big comfy memory foam cushions. The microphone isn't retractable or detachable but does have a neat trick where it'll auto-mute when you flip it up against the side of your head.

For the grind: Sennheiser GAME One

The GAME ONE headset by Sennheiser is a comfortable addition to anyone's arsenal. Designed for ease of use for prolonged sessions, the headset even has interchangeable cables for use on a variety of platforms. Unfortunately, the microphone doesn't detach, but you do get noise cancelation so your squad won't be hearing your distracting background noise. To save you from accidentally cursing at your teammates, there's a handy mute button on the headset alongside volume controls.

The microphone is permanently attached but has noise cancellation and inline mute controls so you can quickly go dark. The ear cups with memory foam padding make it really easy to get a comfy fit and have two different trims included in the box. And the volume is amazing for something so affordable, you'll never miss a thing.
