I hope this is a safe space to admit that I'm always a bit wary when it comes to testing out cheaper wired gaming headsets, even though I'm well aware that a low price doesn't always equate to low quality.
Before I had the opportunity (and privilege) to try the huge range of headsets I do now, I was used to using many a wired pair of cups from brand names that sound like something I'd put together in a fever dream, as it was all I could afford. They always sounded awful and felt awful to have on my head, but the Turtle Beach Atlas 200 for PS5 is a fine example that not every wired headset is built the same.
