HyperX Cloud Stinger Core - Wireless Gaming Headset for PS5-PS4 for $70. It's wireless and has a swivel to mute feature. I'm assuming the PS5 is white, and so is the headset. Some people want them to match. I don't care personally but maybe your bf does. Wired headsets will have better sound than their wireless counterpart, but I hate playing with a wire.

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.

How come no mention of CLOUD STINGER on your list? I bought these back in 2023: [https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08634653D?th=1](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08634653D?th=1) I only pop them on when I am playing with friends, otherwise I just use my speakers. What would I benefit from if I upgrade? Mine are 7.1 and these were highly recommended back then.

My headphones' left side doesn't work, unless when used with a audio to USB C adaptor with my phone. For whatever reason, it doesn't work with the split headset/microphone one, combined ones, or USB to headset/microphone adaptor. HyperX model number MSIP REM K98 CR I don't remember the regular name. HyperX Cloud Series S or something like that.

No problem! I just wanted to make sure I knew the distinction before making a recommendation. Within your budget all gaming headsets will be pretty comparable to one-another due to limitations so you really can’t go wrong with any, but I think that HyperX is the best in the budget wired-headset department. I’d look into their sub-40€ options and go from there, they also go on sale fairly often. You can generally find a headset within the HyperX Cloud Stinger lineup under that budget often. I haven’t personally tried the JBL headset you mentioned so I can’t give an opinion on it.

Wondering if anybody has any recommendations for a wireless gaming headset. I apparently have a small head (or maybe all the headsets are just made for men, idk). Anyways, I really like the ones I have (HyperX Cloud Stinger), I've had them for a few years, but even on the smallest setting they still constantly fall off my head and they kill my neck after a while. Any suggestions?

If you're talking about the Cloud Stingers you can't wrong. They're amazing for the price.
