Myself have had Hyperx cloud II headphones have found them comfortable and great sound quality.
I originally bought them for use with the Xbox 1, but have used them for my pc for last 2 years.
Mic still works and sound is great still, work well with dolby atmos for headphones or the build in windows sonic for headphones. other versions with 7.1 surround sound.
I wear them for long periods on my pc and never found them uncomfortable.
These are the ones they are cheap now. You can get newer version with 7.1 surround sound.
HyperX HX-HS5CX-SR Cloud X Gaming Headset with in-line volume control for Xbox One, Silver: AmazonSmile: Computers & Accessories
Just my suggestion I will be buying from Hyperx again.

I just use the same KRK KNS-8400 headphones I use for music stuff. Great sound and I find them very comfortable to wear for long periods. The TrackIR TrackClipPro fits nicely on the head band. Connected to my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface, which is maybe a bit unorthodox for gaming sound, but works and sounds great.

I have the Sony WH1000XM4… I love it. But I don’t use it for MSFS. I only use it for actually flying in an aircraft as a passenger or when I’m out for a walk.

I’m using the Sennheiser Game One. It’s actually a whole headset so I can also use it vor IVAO / Vatsim or other stuff. Comes with a Sennheiser-typical mic of decent quality.

Logitech G PRO X. Excellent build & audio quality, plus probably one of the best mics in the headset market.

Highly unlikely, no offense.

For the price range ofc.

Jabra Evolve2 85 - Engineered to keep you focused. The best headset for concentration and collaboration.

This is a nice headset as well. Good sound quality, noise cancelling and the best mic out there. I use a similar one like this for work.

Normally and for general use, I use the Bose QC35 v 2 amd they are excellent, especially for comfort. For Sim amd PC use, I use the Arctis Pro wireless from Steel series. A bit over specced until we get working radio comms but an impressive and comfortable, if expensive unit. The additional bluetooth means that I can stream music into them whilst flying, but with no comms, there is no need for me at least to use them at all. I still cannot believe that they have not implemented radio communications within the sim. It is a massive backwards step.

I’m very happy with my Hyperx cloud alpha. PRO’s: replaceble cable (jacks always the first part that breaks), mircophone (detachable), good sound quality.

the problem I have is that most of them tighten a lot, and the ear gets hot with the plastic that covers them. why you dont use the bose for PC? distort the sound?

The Bose set are very, very comfortable and they are superb for most things, but I prefer a wireless headset for PC and Sim use. The Arctis Pro betters my expectations here. I have a biggish head and the ear and headache from so many sets over the years was the reason I gave up and splashed out a bit. The two sets are largely interchangeable I suppose, but if comfort is a requirement, research YouTube, etc al and it might help you narrow it all down a bit. Good luck!

In that case I’d recommend theEsmooth ESMOOTH ES-880EB. They’re hard to find though, especially at a good price. They sometimes appear at different resellers such as LSTN, ZAGG, Symphonized or Woodheadphones. Esmooth is the OEM. The sound quality and wearing comfort are beyond comparison. The sound has superb balance in all ranges from low to high, I’ve worn mine to the last thread. They also have a detachable jack, but no microphone. The Hyperx Alpha mentioned is my choice AFTER the ES-880EB.

Hi,
I want to buy wireless headphones with microphone only to communicate with ATC on VATSIM (other sim sounds from main speakers connected to external interface audio). Is it worth around PLN 100-120 ($ 30)?
Of course, I also have to buy a USB bluetooth adapter - can you recommend a specific one or indicate what parameters to pay attention to?
Thank you.

There’s two options that’s designed for aviation and ATC communications.

I’m thinking about something cheaper… as I mentioned, around 30-40 USD…

Well, here’s a candidate for nebulous question of the week. Haha.
There are probably as many answers to this as there are headphone users!

However your own stated criteria - comfort and quality of sound - should be your guide.
But I would also add another. Namely price!

As an example only: I bought a new HYPERX Cloud II gaming headset with removable mic and integral, in-line sound card for a mere £50 from ebay. These have all the bells and whistles you need, are of good quality and have proven to be comfortable with prolonged use.

So yes, comfort, quality and price.
Your only real problem then is the sheer plethora of choice.

Good luck.

Yep they dont come cheap, excellent quality

Simple.
MSI DS502 GAMING HEADSET

These kick butt.
