BuZayeddKingston cloud 2’s they sound so perfect and trusted by many pros either that or like a beyerdynamic headphone
Mean_Scientist5093Yea I have the cloud 2 Kingston. I’ve tried the seinheisser hd560s and the steel series Arctis nova pro. Both of which are double the price but imo sound worse than the cloud 2. I am on console pubg.
StuewwWith all my experience I would suggest you the HyperX Cloud 2 wired but the old one Kingston version not the new HP. You can find it on Ebay or Newegg. It’s a 2015 Headset and yes it’s that good. I still use mine and just ordered a new one on Newegg.
KnownAsJake96There is only one headset that every gamers should have, there is only 1 correct answer no matter the budget: Hype X cloud 2. No 3, no alpha just 2. I don’t discuss, trust me and if you don’t go see why every pro use them instead of 350€ astro headset.
Wolven_EssenceCrap I can’t remember what mine was called. I’ve had it about 3 years now. Pretty sure it’s a hypercloud as well but I don’t remember which one it was. It’s got a 180 hour battery life though.
Fully overear. So I guess it’s the 2. Fully overear is the only kind I can use. Can’t stand the feeling of partially or barely. Bone induction isn’t bad though.
Accomplished-Dot1365Plastic connectors to the headband will probably disintegrate. Happened to my twos after a couple months
Adventurous-Candy-75I got a HyperX cloud 2 back in September and it's still working and hasn't broken or falling apart compare to my razer headset that broke in less than a year.
Afraid-Journalist-12I’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.
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
