HyperX - Cloud Orbit S

I use hyperx cloud orbit s (which are just audeze planars, but wired). I don’t play many games usually, but been playing battlefield 6 recently and holy cow, I agree.

I've personally found that the Waves NX virtual surround function works best for my ears. Theres a couple headsets that use Waves including the Audeze Mobius and HyperX Orbit S.  Everyone's ears a little different and different HRTFs work better for some than others. I'd recommend watching a tutorial on installing HeSuVi. It's a program that will let's you try out a whole bunch of different virtual surround sound HRTFs.

I know this wasn’t one of the choices, but I would highly recommend the Hyper X Cloud Orbit S. They sound amazing! They have head tracking for 3D sound. I love them.

The Cloud Orbit S, but it isn't wireless and also costs as much as the Audeze Maxwells. (in fact the Cloud Orbit S is just a rebranded Audeze Mobius headset)

I haven't really used a Steelseries, I've heard good thing about them but I don't use one. HyperX does sometimes do rebrands of existing headphones, like the Cloud 2 is a Takstar Pro 80 (very similar to the Beyernamic DT770 Pro) with a microphone and the Cloud Orbit is basically an Audeze Mobius without Bluetooth (the Orbit S also removes the head tracking) for less money. The Alpha and Cloud 3 are their own designs and generally also have pretty good sound quality without being expensive.

Mr.caboose! Quick question, I recently bought an Audeze Maxwell for $300 on a private audio store deal. Is this a good deal or should I part out my life gr t divorce and return this thing. Also curious to your opinion on the headset. It kind of just sounds similar to my hyper orbit S except with way better build quality. The orbit S plastics all cracked and muffs all fell apart in a year

HyperX "makes" some actually decent ones, of course they aren't as good as some of the better ones from AudioTechnica, Audeze (though Audeze mobius and HyperX cloud orbits are literally the same and quite good (but overpriced)), Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic, but they offer headphones that have a decent sound profile and a really good microphone (in comparison to other headsets ofc) in an acceptable price.

Wired Hyperx, because EVERY BT buds are waking up my Deck randomly.

Hyper x. Are pretty decent, had mine for around 3 years, no sign of wear and tear, still crispy clean audio, they are wired. The included mic was ok, but I disconnected it as I have a blue yeti. Would recommend

Hyperx are great! Have been using some daily for 3 years, still perfect!

I bought a HyperX wired and it felt pretty quality to me, is there something specific you were looking for? Personally idk that ive ever found something better than the Klipsch earbuds ive had for over a decade. The Razer BlackShark V3 is ridiculously light but has worked purrfectly with a fully wireless setup, no crosstalk. You might have read the posts in the Wiki community bookmark but if not there's 2 on headsets that might help.

That's why i mentioned the Razer Blackshark, but I couldve been clearer. I have my mouse, headset, keyboard, and controller all wireless connected to my pc. Granted they are all using the original dongles and some care is observed with plugging them too close together, they never interfere with each other or lag even after long sessions of use. Assuming your intention of "quality" is how cheaply made something feels, the BlackShark actually feels less quality than the HyperX as the BS is so light it feels like a toy. Where HyperX actually had weight to the headset and was about half the price. My advice would be just ask your favorite streamer what they use and buy that, there's already a bunch of great recommendations by others here.
