Best Buy has Astro Gaming A10 Wired Stereo Over-the-Ear Gaming Headset for Xbox, PC or PlayStation for $14.99. Select free store pickup if stock is available, otherwise shipping is free on $35+ orders.
For $15, these are absolute no brainers. Played 1000 hours of Apex Legends using this set.
I tried HyperX and SteelSeries "budget" headsets, and they both were less comfortable, had boomy bass, and shrill highs. The A10s were comfortable and very balanced. Directional sound was very good on them as well, I could definitely tell when people were behind me, above me, etc. even though these aren't surround headphones. People on my team said my mic sounded good too. The flip up mute (rather than a button) is SUPER convenient and became second nature and easy to do. I had the A10's first, then tried the others - immediately went back to the A10's every time.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended. I'm buying a second pair for me, and three more for gifts. They are that good.
Also worth noting, these are NOT noise canceling. At least not very well. But for me that's *exactly* what I was after, as I like to hear my surroundings since I live in a quiet home.
Sure, I may hear some unwanted noise. But I'd prefer to hear if there are noises that should not be: burglars, windows breaking, heaters tipping over, electrical arcs, knocks at the door...the list goes on. No, I never expect any of the above to happen, especially at my house, but I'd rather be aware if they do instead of not hearing it because I'm jamming out to whatever song is playing while in my favorite game. Call me paranoid I guess.

I had just bought one the other day for 20. Not sure if I want to make a fuss for 5 bucks but that's why we're here for the slick deals right? Wonder if they do price adjustments still

Open price match chat with BB, can 99% guarantee they will give you the $5 back.
I ordered the red and green a few days ago to try out for PC and PS5 compatibility (his/hers). Pro tip - they all work for all platforms. It's just a color difference unless you value the PC adapter that isn't necessary even for PC. I just used the green ones on my PC and PS5 tonight via 3.5mm without issue.
I ordered two more green ones now for $15 each. If BB doesn't retroactively apply the $5 back, then I just return my original order. Red one gets returned unopened either way. If they'll allow the adjustment, I'll keep the 3rd green one as a backup for only $5 more total than I paid a few days ago for two. Win-win.

Hah, I came back just to say they probably work on both since they all seemingly just have 3.5mm cables. Thanks for chiming in
