Hyperx cloud stinger 2
I bought a few Headsets over the years, and I have made a few Observations: Good quality sound is good for Music, but not neccessarily good for Gaming. I had a 150€ sennheiser that was Great, but the Audio mix made it hard to heat footsteps ingame. It was very Base Heavy, Great for music but completely useless for wz. I bought a 50 Bucks hyperx cloud stinger 2 and all of a sudden i could hear footsteps clear as day. It Sounds like it looks, plastic. It isnt Pretty, and it wont live Long I guess, because well, flimsy pastic and I am clumsy as fuck. But I got better at wz because I finally had good Audio. I think this Headset is not available anymore, and the successor is not as good. But dont spend an enourmous amount on a Headset, the Budget ones might have better Audio ingame!
Rog 500 is what i use with my PS5 Pro and. With this headset it allows me to set up the 3D sound ftom Dolby atmos that comes free with your PS5. I also have an expensive set but the noise cancelling ear pieces fell apart
Ive been using my ROg 500 headset on my ps5 Pro. And the console test the ROG 500 headsets so it is a 3D surround set up. My expensive pair are HyperrX cloud stinger 2. But the noise cancelling ear pieces fell apart. I will replace them. But these Rog 500 are really good 3d noise cancelling
Cloud Stinger 2 has a surround sound feature. Bang for the buck
sorry to hear about the nova 3p glitching, that sounds annoying. for around $70 on ps5, i've had good luck with the [HyperX Cloud Stinger 2](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?HyperX+Cloud+Stinger+2+gaming+headset) as a wired option - it's simple, reliable, and actually pretty comfy. if you want to try wireless again, the [Razer Barracuda X](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?Razer+Barracuda+X+wireless+gaming+headset) sometimes goes on sale near your budget and has a solid ps5 connection. honestly though, at that price point, wired usually gives you better consistency, and the [SteelSeries Arctis 1](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?SteelSeries+Arctis+1+gaming+headset) is another decent pick that shouldn't have the same issues as the nova 3p. i'd lean toward the cloud stinger 2 for pure reliability tbh.
bummer about the glitching - wireless interference can be such a pain. if you want something that just works without the headache, the [HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core wired](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hyperx+cloud+stinger+2+core&language=en_US&tag=bestdeals202f-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl) is right around your budget. plugs right into the controller and the audio stays clean no matter how chaotic the match gets. directional audio is solid for the price and you dont have to worry about charging or dropouts. sometimes wired is the move for PS5 just for the peace of mind.
These help tremendously, as I was looking at a few of these myself, so !thanks ! If I can add on, I bought a HyperX cloud stinger wireless before as my boyfriend's sounds pretty good - bought it from the same place, same price, etc etc - and no matter what I did it sounded absolutely abysmal, like I was stuck in a wind tunnel. Charging cord is also extremely short, so if you want to charge and use it you're a bit out of luck. I have Jbl quantum's currently and the sound is good, just one day suddenly the mic stopped working - if you can somehow avoid that happening, they're a good lower tier headset that I found worked pretty well. However they do have in headset controls but i haven't found a problem with them apart from the mic mute button just sometimes not muting.
I got the Hyper X Cloud Srunger 2. It mutes the mic when you put the microphone in up position.
I use hyper x wireless for my ps5 and I’m at a 22mm. They’re great, never had a problem
Currently using whatever the top HyperX wireless option is. I travel for work and spend a lot of time playing on a laptop. I’m using an Omen 16 laptop right now and it has the built in dongle for HyperX peripherals. I’m honestly pretty pleasantly surprised by them. They’re very comfy, sound is decent, mic is good. I did order those Nova elites tho and they should deliver on Friday 👀
Yeah, HyperX is great in durability, comfort, and audio quality for a headset. The only qualms I have with them is looks/lack of color options, but so far I've ended up returning any other brand I try in favor of em. I don't know about others, but I'd say the wireless in HyperX actually aren't noticeably worse in comfort from wired and the convenience + major increase durability if you're careless (like me lol) is really nice. I wear blue light glasses sometimes and find it fine comfort-wise.
