I haven't detected any hiss/white noise with my pair. I've used them with the ultra low latency wireless dongle and/or Bluetooth on PS5 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 17 Pro, Switch 2, Lenovo Legion Go S and wired to the PS Portal. No hiss in any of these situations for me.
Dual mode connectivity is fairly common for higher-end gaming headsets, but not too much on budget models. The new HyperX [Cloud III S Wireless](https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-iii-s-wireless-gaming-headset) is pretty good (definitely better than a Cloud Flight), but it's a bit past your budget. There's also the SteelSeries [Arctis Nova 5 Wireless](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-5) (as well as the better [Arctis Nova Pro Wireless](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro), but that's way past your budget).
HyperX Cloud 3 s wireless. They’re on sale on Amazon right not for like $120 I think.
Astro A50x. People will shit on these but I always end up coming back. Feels pretty open, so not as immersive.
Audeze Maxwell. if you like heavy things on your head. I don’t think the directional audio in my experience is as good with these than the other two.
Nova Pro Elite. If you want to throw $600 at your problem and get sound a little worse than the Maxwells
Personally, I like wired earbuds like the Sennheiser IE200, but that being said, my bud has the Cloud 3s and the Arctis Nova Pro wireless, and I prefer the comfort of the Arctis, but I definitely say the sound from the HyperX 3s is better in my opinion.
WIred- Sennheiser pc38x, Wireless- astro a50(non x, x just gives you hdmi passthrough which is really for ps5/xbox kind of stuff)good sound, great mic, . Budget, hyperx cloud 3s(120 right now, sound is top tier, mic is med, battery is absolutely impressive) . Arctis is great and while the mic is kind of mid, it works. Dont go audeze maxwell, mac is pretty bad but it weight like double some of the other options, tho sound is fantastic. I have been geeeking on the cloud 3s the past month, actually great headset. If mic is important, pc38x or a50 gen5,
I already bought these III S but I see the Scape scored well on your table.
What’s the target price you would consider it? Also how’s the Scape clamp? I prefer low clamp. Also I just like white headphones and wireless.
Damn, the white one is sold out everywhere. Good to hear this version is tuned better, that seems promising.
I tried on the Maxwell and it's too heavy for me. I have neck and jaw pain so while the sound I'm sure is superior, I couldn't put up with it.
