The Corsair HS55 is a great headset for this low price, as you can use it with any console thanks to the 3.5mm audio connection. If you want to use it with a PC, it comes with a USB-A to 3.5mm dongle, which you'll need to use if you want to also access the Corsair iCUE software which gives you access to that 7.1 Surround Sound.
The HS55 sounds very good for a headset of this price, and the flip-to-mute microphone is also very good for the price as it evenly captures most of the audio spectrum rather than just the voice frequencies.
For a £40 headset the HS55 is also well made, using a sturdy interior metal band and memory foam ear cups that make the headset comfortable to wear for two to three hours.
