"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."

"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"The noise-reduction on these is really remarkable, both as a listener, but especially for the other person on a phone call. I can finally walk along the beach, with wind blowing in from the ocean, and people can hear and understand me clearly! That is what set me on a quest to find new earbuds, and Huawei freebuds pro 3 deliver! ... I can ride my bike in wind and traffic noise, listening to music or podcasts, and then answer a phone call without missing a beat, and the other person can hear me clearly. ... If you are looking for an earbud that will let you ride your bike on the boardwark, with ocean wind and people and traffic, and take calls effortlessly, where people can hear you clearly without having to stop or find shelter or hold your phone closer...the Huawei freebuds pro 3 are the way to go. ... So, yes. I am still happy with them, and they are awesome at being able to have a coherent conversation even while walking along a windy, noisy beach."
"A very nice phone quality with the best ANC phone call noise block ever seen in the world."
"I wanted really good call quality because I take a lot of calls when I'm on a call in central City, and they have been amazing. ... I take a call in a cafe full of people and crying kids and the other person can't hear a thing"

"And playing games with this is so immersive, you can hear everything crystal clear, the bass is placed at the right moments with the right amount and it's very good for competitive gaming. ... Playing games, especially FPS ones, I think it's not negotiable to have DTS or some kind of surround sound. ... DTS produces clearer sounds for me, which is better for hearing steps in fps games. ... the sound of footsteps are crystal clear on FPS games. I like the Pro X2 for competitive gaming a lot, especially FPS. ... DTS helps so much with the clear sound of steps in CS or Apex."
"Good sound quality is super crisp can heard people coming from far away in rainbow six. Great speakers for Rainbow. ... The sounds quality is super crisp with the sonar EQ I would have definitely kept them if it wasn’t for the Microphone being wonky"
"the difference is so God damn insane. The unusable, worst headset I've ever got turned into the best headset I've ever listened music or played games on. ... I had so much fun listing to all the different music genres, I couldn't get enough. ... And playing games with this is so immersive, you can hear everything crystal clear, the bass is placed at the right moments with the right amount and it's very good for competitive gaming."

"The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something."
"or the rollers don’t load up with hair and melt the CHM."
"I had many times where sonar audio devices flat out wouldn’t work properly and required a restart or reinstall to fix, and I got tired of it."

"I have a Hyper X Cloud 2 and it seriously hurts my ears with extended use. Not my ear drums, but my ears themselves. I hate it so much."
"uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time"

"auto-shutting off while playing audio ... If I don't run steelseries GG, it'll default to the setting that is shuts down after 30 minutes. ... The only way to circumvent that bullshit then, is to actively use the microphone, that registers as "being used". Not the fucking fact that there's audio playing through the headphone :( ... I sometimes manage to get the auto-shutdown to 'never' via a profile in steelseries GG, but it usually only works a limited time :("
"Uninstall their software. Just get your os to recognize the audio input and output and get rid of their trash. ... Worked for me as their software was awful and causing issues like you described."
"The tozo has a issue with accidentally turning off depending on how I have it."

"everything I've tried so far is too "inside your head" to be convincing in immersive games. ... The soundstage of most headphones is too narrow"
"positional audio felt off"
"they lacked clarity for footsteps"
Would go for hyper x cloud wireless, its good sound good mic and not over expensive, arround 100 a 120.
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->Plastic connectors to the headband will probably disintegrate. Happened to my twos after a couple months
r/HyperX • HyperX Cloud Wireless III S: What the Cloud III Should Have Been ->I’ve had a ton of “gaming headsets” over the years, including a ton of sennheisers via sponsorship during cs. They’re all shit, because they try to do both audio and mic. And they’re all cheap plastic. Swapped to Beyerdynamic DT770 pro + XLR mic and after 12 years of using that I’m swapping to 990 pro because they’re literally falling apart now. Can even buy replacement parts to fix it up again. Never looking back at overpriced “gaming branded headsets” Maybe the only one I can recommend if you still insist on getting one, is the hyper x cloud 2 Because of similar durability with Beyerdynamic, as it’s literally a product made with them.
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->Sorry just saw this message, and no unfortunately this is a wired headphone set…(the Dt770) The cloud 2 hyperX has a wireless variant that works with ps5 as far as I know, ( but might come with a small amount of static if you’re sensitive to this ) Can recommend turning either the headsets 7.1 off or on the ps5 side as having both on can cause issues For the rest it’s plug and play
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->Really? I’ve bought 2 Kingston cloud 2s since 2017. My brother got a HP one a couple of months ago and it just didn’t sound as crisp. I asked him to do a blind rating and he knew which ones were which 🤷🤷 f knows. Just do whatever makes you happy

r/HyperX • Which ones are really worth it? ->Easily HyperX Cloud 2. Have had 2 pairs, both were great. Good audio, comfortable and pretty sturdy. The value for money you get on them is amazing IMO.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Which of these Gaming headsets is the best value for money? (Strictly limited to these options only) ->Senn 6XX and 58X, Sony XM4, HyperX Clouds, AKG earbuds... IVE TRIED IT ALL, BABY
r/virtualreality • I find headphones to be less immersive than default Quest speakers ->Cloud 2 is the goat of it's tier.
r/HyperX • Which ones are really worth it? ->I just got new cloud 2 wireless and they sound okay (cant compare to the old ones), but the microphone on them is worse than the one from my previous 10 bucks china-headset, which makes the headset completely unusable.
r/HyperX • Best headset ->ch720n is fine but if you can stretch budget a bit, get a proper gaming headset, 720s are like a mid‑tier for a reason; you'll feel the difference in positional audio. 90% of us are on something like a HyperX or HyperX Cloud, not a budget Sony.
r/IndianGaming • What headphones are u all using ->This is definitely the best choice for a 17 year old. I've had nicer headsets, but I come back to the clouds.
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
