"The ability to use 2 Channel stereo audio, excellent for FPS shooters (hearing footsteps). ... The logitech and some corsair wireless headsets force surround sound on in Windows audio settings through their drivers, which make the sound muffled and make poor positional audio."

"But I think it's audio isn't great. Like good, but not great as you could get."
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.
So, as title says. I play a lot of games so I need low latency. On the other hand I love listening to music in great quality. But latency is more important here since I have speakers for music. My budget is 150 USD. I'm going to use them mostly for gaming. I need shipping to Poland. Right know I have HyperX cloud 2 wireless, they are great but they time is coming to an end. Any good recomendations?
I think hyperx is the best gaming option, personally I hate ss and Logitech i find them bad af
If you’re deadset on wireless, and given the options you mentioned: HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless. Out of all these brands, HyperX generally has the best reputation in terms of build-quality, especially in their Cloud-lineup of headsets. The mic is decent, and battery lasts around 30 hours per charge which is more than enough. I wouldn’t touch Razer *at all*.
The Cloud 2 Core is a lot less known about and less reviewed than the regular Cloud 2 Wireless, and one review that I checked out says that the Core lasts up to 20 hours from their personal testing, and the regular Cloud 2 does lives up to the 30 hours promised. I’d go with the regular Cloud 2
Hyperx cloud 2 wireless, have had mine for years and love it. Mic quality is superb and comfort is top of the line
hote hai brother, many Fortnite pros use hyperx cloud 2 wireless, cloud 3 wireless, it works great
HyperX Wireless Cloud 2, i tried atleast 7 different headphones, most expensive ones was 800€, but in longtearm xyperx put every other headphones into dust.
Yup, thats why as soon as i goy my hyper x i changed it to custom wicked cushions, they are pricey, but sound and comfort is godly.
wish i had gone for them , i got the cloud 2 wireless and I found it so bad it hurts.
I have a cloud 2 wireless and I find it a really bad product , just using it to not waste my money , but my 2 hyperx headsets purschases was bad AF , revolver S ( one of the worst headsets I ever used) and now cloud 2 wireless , bad directional audio and a lot of problems with software.
i\`m trying to find a way to get rid of my cloud 2 wireless , they are one of the worst\`s headsets purchases of my life. People say the wired is good , your is the wired?
Hyperx wireless 4 u wont need anything for years
I only use wireless headsets and tried logitech, corsair, steelseries, beyerdynamic. I would recommend the Hyperx Cloud II Wireless. It's a great all arounder. \-Affordable \-Comfortable, light clamping force, not too heavy. \-Sound good out of the box. No need to mess with settings or install drivers, easy plug n play. \-Microphone is not great, but good enough. \-Battery life is decent at 30hrs. \-The ability to use 2 Channel stereo audio, excellent for FPS shooters (hearing footsteps). The logitech and some corsair wireless headsets force surround sound on in Windows audio settings through their drivers, which make the sound muffled and make poor positional audio. \-Build quality is a bit on the cheaper side after HP took over HyperX, but still decent. If you prefer less bass and SUPER light clamping force, can try out the Cloud III.
Hyperx cloud 2 wireless, don't need drivers, don't need to fiddle around for decent sound.
The microphone is way better than the one on the Cloud 2 Wireless. Watch some video about the non-S 3 Wireless microphone, you will hear it. The 3 S is very similar to the 3.
Someone in the comments says it is bad, but my experience is different. The spatial awareness is excellent in CS2 (i have 3500+ hours). I can pinpoint sound directions with centimeter-level accuracy. I also loved the Cloud 2 Wireless in this regard, and I don't feel any difference between the two.
Yeah, it is a little bit loose, but not an issue.
Afaik only the Cloud 3 S has on-board memory to save the EQ via hardware, not just software. So if you are playing on a console mainly, then i would pick the 3 S. It is very good for gaming and music as well.
I used the Cloud 3 Wireless, the Cloud 2 Wireless and the Cloud 3 S Wireless. My order is sound wise: Cloud 3 S Wireless > Cloud 2 Wireless > Cloud 3 Wireless. I had to use EQ with the 3 Wireless, but it is not needed (for me) with the Cloud 3 S Wireless.
Cloud 3 S is the best (for me), very clear sound with good, but not overpovered bass. Cloud 2 Wireless has good bass, but it is a little bit muddy for my taste after i tried the Cloud 3 S. Cloud 3 Wireless has very clear sound but lacks bass without software EQ.
I don't know about the mobile app, but I think the 3 S is very fine without any EQ. And if you need some EQ you can set up it any pc (e.g university, library, friend's PC etc.), and save it to the headset's memory and never ever open the application ever.
Yeah, i think the 3 S is fine and very balanced without EQ. And according some measurements from YouTube as well.
I still have my Cloud 2 Wireless, i have one HP and one Kingston Cloud 2 Wireless, and they are both fine after 2-3 years of use. Cloud 3 S is more comfortable, has better sound, better battery and of course on-board memory and bluetooth connection. For me the Cloud 2 Wireless -> Cloud 3 Wireless jump was meh, i was not impressed, thats why i sent it back and tried the 3 S. The Cloud 2 Wireless -> Cloud 3 S Wireless jump is very noticable, i main the Cloud 3 S now for competitive gaming and music as well.
I tried all of them (alongside with the Fractal Scape) and for me, the 3 S is the best. Alpha and Cloud 2 has too much bass, non-S 3 too little and i need the bluetooth connection sometimes. But i still love my wired Cloud 2 and Cloud 2 Wireless.
Dunno man, for me the bass of the Cloud 2 Wireless often overpowers the mids and highs, and not in a good way and i don't want run EQ softwares to fix it, especially because i use the headset on my laptop and my console as well. I loved my Cloud 2 and Cloud 2 Wireless, but after trying other headphones in and out house, they sound a bit muffled. And RTINGS and other measurements are matching with my feelings. But of course the whole headphone stuff can be very subjective even if you have the measurements, i just wrote down my feelings after i used Cloud 2 -> Cloud 2 Wireless -> Cloud 3 Wireless -> Cloud 3 S Wireless.
