HyperX - Cloud Flight S

I would just get the same headset if possible, if that’s what you’re satisfied with. 95% of gaming headsets just have “okay” sound. Couple of notable outliers here and there. Pc38x comes to mind with its open back design and wide soundstage. Maybe an amp/dac could help with a wired headsets audio quality a bit. Some actually come with one already. If you really cared about audio quality, you’d have to go down the audiophile route and use a dedicated headphone with a separated mic. Same is true if you wanted the “best” mic quality. I had that audiophile setup, but downgraded back to a wireless headset because I prefer the convenience over quality. It’s also a Hyper X Flight S I’ve been using for the past 5 years that somehow hasn’t died on me. Rtings.com is a good source for reviews

You're not going to get the best audio quality with wireless. PC38x with a DAC/AMP combo. Treading into audiophile territory. Nothing beats the soundstage of an openback headphone. Or your choice of openback headphones and a Modmic/seperate mic. Only con is sound bleeding from your outside surroundings. When I had my HD 598 SR, there were times I instinctively turned around from the audio. I'm on a Hyper X Flight S now. Doesn't sound anywhere near as good, but nothing beats the convenience of wireless. Wireless have limitations on how good they can sound, and part of that is because the mic channel also has to go through that 2.4ghz signal. Which is why I say don't overspend on a wireless headset, because theres a point of diminishing point of return in audio quality. Turtlebeach Atlas are like the only open back wireless headset I can think of.

I have a couple of HyperX Cloud Flights. After 2 years, a bit of the foam cover is peeling off the ear pads when sweating for a couple hours but they sound great and the mic pics up great. It'll pick up a loud AC or fan in the background, but no voices. They also have low feedback. Which I like because I can hear the background sound it supresses over the mic

Got my hyper x Cloud flight since 2017 and it is still doing good. I dont think it's worth spending more than 150 for a headset. If you really want the edge, get headphones and a studio mic.

Cloud flight is your only good option

If you can increase your budget to 8k, I would highly recommend the HyperX cloud Flight wireless. They use a 2.4g dongle so latency is almost nonexistent. Sound and mic the best in their class. You will find them open box on HyperX pk website.

I know it is just a matter of personal opinion, but: i bought myself the "cloud flight" from HyperX back in 2018 and they still work flawlessly! I even had to replace the cushions, that was three years ago, thinking about replacing them yet again. In all my gaming life, I have never ever had a headset that was this durable. Amazed by them, since they are not labeled as "high-end" or something. And I had many, many, headsets before them, including a logitech one that cost about 200 Euros.

Just get HyperX. They are tuned for gaming and are awesome for music with a bit of equalizer tuning. I recently got the 7.1 version and they came with a year of Dolby DTS X for movies as a complimentary gift.

Would go for hyper x cloud wireless, its good sound good mic and not over expensive, arround 100 a 120.

This is definitely the best choice for a 17 year old. I've had nicer headsets, but I come back to the clouds.

Hyperx cloud wireless. Battery lasts for, i kid you not, like 6-10 months. Mic is good. Its comfortable.
