Need help with Headset

I Love YTtalk
The other day my turtle beach PX21s broke and I'm in need of a new headset to record videos with, I was planning on buying the exact same headset because I love the quality of it but sadly everywhere online charges a stupid amount of money for it and the shops round by me are out of stock.

I was wondering if you guys could recommend any headsets to me that have a good recording quality?

Before you ask I already own a Blue Yeti and personally I think they are heavily over rated as they pick up stupid amounts of background noise.

Thanks in advance :]

That's because you're too far from the mic. 6-8 inches away and that problem will largely disappear. There are plenty of reasons to bash the Yeti, but that is not one of them.

For headsets, anything by Sennheiser will work for you.

Most people who know how to use microphones properly would, yes. With proper positioning and proper gain settings both on the mic and in windows, the Yeti doesn't pick up "stupid amounts of background noise". If you have that problem you're either doing it wrong or have a broken microphone. The reason for the background noise issue is quite simply that the volume of your voice hitting the microphone diapraghm is at a level comparable with the background noise in the room which of course makes the background noise more noticable. That combined with basic ambient noise removal in your DAW will get a fairly close to studio sound with that microphone. If the microphone is properly positioned and it's gain set correctly, your voice will overpower most background noise and the signal will remain fairly clean.

The reasons for hating the Blue Yeti are for being overpriced and over-recommended by people who don't know anything about mics. Its' quality isn't bad at all, just not good for the price they charge. It becomes good value at about 30-40% off retail.

I never complained about the price. I can assure you I have positioned the mic correctly I don't have a mental illness aha
 
If you had your gain correct and position correct, then there would not be any background noise, as Tarmack suggested.
