FYI HyperX Clouds, at least first models were rebadged and modified Takstar 80 Pro. Same with Cooler Madter MH751 and Takstar 82 Pro

I don't think it's the glasses, I think the issue is 20 dollar turtle beaches. I have both a hyper x cloud core and Logitech g933. Glasses aren't an issue with either set

First of all... yes gaming headsets are bad... think Astros, turtle beach, razer, etc. But so are a lot of regular headphones like bose and beats. Second of all... hyper x headsets are an exception. They are built on an old audiophile design by a company called takstar - the pro 80. Google it if you don't believe me, you'll instantly recognize the very unmistakable hyper x design. They're genuinely pretty phenomenal for the price. Lastly... get whatever the fuck you want. Someone like you is never going to know or care about a sloppy bass signature or lack of clarity in imaging or a narrow sound stage. None of it matters to someone who isn't going to recognize it. Get what you want. There are even lots of wireless headsets that are phenomenal, the Audeze Maxwell for example. So anyone telling you all Bluetooth is bad is also flat out wrong. I see a lot of bad advice getting heavily upvoted in here, when you obviously came here for quick easy answers. Likelihood is you won't even be able to tell between good and bad advice, unfortunately. Get whatever the fuck you want.

Got HyperX cloud loved them and replaced them with a wireless version. Super comfortable, sound quality/ virtual surround works great. Mic is mediocre / ok.

Hyper x. Are pretty decent, had mine for around 3 years, no sign of wear and tear, still crispy clean audio, they are wired. The included mic was ok, but I disconnected it as I have a blue yeti. Would recommend

Wireless all the way. Used HyperX with cable but man. Wireless is keeping around 120 hours and i can stand up and use it everywhere. When you go to toilet with chatting with friends its game changer! 😄
