Good to know. I actually do have a headset though that I got for Christmas before (from my grandpa, I think he secretly just bought it for his business and didn't want it anymore haha). It's this one to be exact.
I'd feel bad if it's basically required, and from what I gather from other people in this thread most people who play it are more mature so I'll probably use it. I just didn't know if it might be similar to the stereotype you always hear of a young guy or a girl getting on an Xbox and then people calling them names and doing shit to them in game.
I've had a Logitech H540 for over a year and recently picked up another for my 11yo. They're quite good, especially considering the price. I've had literally zero issues with mine.
Edited to include the product name instead of "one of these". :)
