Looking for an inexpensive Gaming headset!

[KEW]

I have a 9 YO adopted "nephew" who has a birthday coming up.
He showed me his current headset which has about a half roll of tape holding the mic arm on.
It is a Onikuma K1.
My default is to replace it with another like it because he says it worked well and I suspect the problem is from him sitting on it at the wrong angle or something.
However, if someoen know of an especailly good option, I'll do that instead.
Budget is around $25, but would go a little higher if it bought extra sturdiness, of some other worthwhile improvement.
Thanks!

The main thing I find with inexpensive gaming headsets is that the wires are tiny, tiny. Give them to a child, and those wires break pretty often just from their normal usage and wear and tear.

So, if you can find one in that price range with a removable/replaceable cable, that would likely help with longevity--just replace the cable.

You didn't mention what console or PC. If Bluetooth is an option, I tend to point people that direction for children, precisely to avoid those tiny wires that like to break.

Do you know off the top of your head if that is BT?

Looking for a headset for communication only, or for noise cancelling and surround sound? The regular stock headsets that come with do the job pretty well for communication.

That's a big tall glass of NOPE! At least, not natively, may be some workarounds.

from MS:
The Xbox One console does not feature Bluetooth functionality. Headsets cannot connect to the console using Bluetooth.
