I use the hyper x cloud 3 s wireless. I used to use a50s for a while and while they sound good they started to hurt my ears for some reason recently. Hyper x headsets are always a good choice. I know how a lot of people feel about razer but the blackshark headsets are really good too
You’re doing an amazing thing! I owned a pair of the A50s years ago. I really don’t think you can go wrong. If it’s just for PC I guess the regular ones are fine, get the A50X if he plays on console a lot too. Can’t go wrong either way! So unless you’re boyfriend is some kind of Audio snob (like me), these will be more then fine! They worked for me in my college days when I played on Xbox and PC, and the wireless was nice. And that was before the new fancy mix options. Pretty sure you can even get aftermarket memory foam ear cups, super comfy!
There is absolutely no need for the very best headphones because this game has one of the best audios ever. Now I have a good amount of experience with headphones and in my opinion HyperX alphas are TOP tier theyre cheap and affordable, great audio, and no need to configure anything or download software. Ive also owned A50s and nova pro wireless ive messed with the audio settings, sonar, list goes on man and its not that good.. imo gaming headsets are horrible. I strongly recommend you get IEMs they are sooooo good bro I switched last year and never looked back.
if your on PC i recommend getting a good pair of studio headphones and a good mic, if you want a actual headset i recommend getting astro a10s or used a50s
Astro A50’s are the most comfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever owned
Astro A50s, used to use them on my PS4 too and they’re still amazing. There’s an updated Gen 5 of them now too. They’re also much more comfortable than any steelseries headset for me
