Need Help Finding Headphones Similar to Turtle Beach PX22, or Fixing the Headphones

[Robby Shorts]

Hey guys,

So for the past few years I have been using the Turtle Beach PX22 Universal headset, and I love these things.

To me, the audio sounds great, friends say the mic sounds good, and the main thing is that I love the inline amplifier which allows me to separately control chat and game volume levels, bass, and treble.

However, there is a problem, I've gone through 3 pairs of these headphones (on my 4th) in just the past 2-3 years. This is due to the sides of the head-bands being made out of a cheap plastic, that causes them to slowly crack, and then before you know it they break off the ear cup from the headband.

This is very frustrating, and I seek help for 1 of two solutions, either finding a way to fix the "cracking problem" so I don't have to keep throwing away money on new pairs, OR finding a pair of headphones that are similar to the PX22 in the ways of having 2-way volume manager (the inline amp.), and preferably in my budget of less than $100.

I'm sorry for the long post, I just wanted to try and include everything so that people woulnd't need more information from me.

I appreciate any comments and help people provide.

I would recommend something like the Cloud IIs. They would be a vast improvement in terms of quality and comfort, and retain the inline soundcard.

Thanks for the suggestion, it seems though that on the hyperx cloud 2s, the soundcard changes your own microphone volume level, and then all regular sound that comes through, not specifically Game/Chat(other people's chatter) volume. Is this true? or am I misinformed.

Thanks again,

It does only change your input volume, but honestly you will realize how pointless the chat control really was. (I used to use P11s long ago).
Its not truly controlling the chat volume, so the overall sound quality gets diminished pretty rapidly.

Alright, thanks for the advice, I will definitely check out these headphones some more,

Thanks.
