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.
i've tested a few in that price range. the [steel series arctis 1 wireless](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=steel+series+arctis+1+wireless) is solid - battery lasts forever and the connection is stable. [corsair hs70 pro](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=corsair+hs70+pro) sounds a bit better but battery is shorter. if you can stretch to $100, the [hyperx cloud stinger core wireless](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=hyperx+cloud+stinger+core+wireless) is what i use for gaming. all three have good mics and fit comfortably for a few hours. just avoid the super cheap no-name ones, they disconnect constantly.
for that budget and wanting bass plus surround, check the [Razer BlackShark V2 X](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=Razer+BlackShark+V2+X) - it's usually around $50 cad on amazon and has razer's surround sound software that actually works. [HyperX Cloud Stinger Core](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=HyperX+Cloud+Stinger+Core) is another one with solid bass for dayz footsteps. that flying around your head feeling is virtual surround and both do it well. your old pair probably had it enabled in software so just install the driver for whichever you grab. been using the razer one myself and explosions sound chunky enough.
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.
I'm using hyperx cloudx stringer wireless. I think they goes for 60 bucks. Had them for a year or year and a half
I am using hyperx k wireless headphones
I hate HyperX for the sole reason that whatever PU synthetic leather they use on their ear cups always deteriorates and gets all flaky. Those flakes rub all over your ear and surrounding hair. It's annoying, to say the least..
I had too many pairs that ended up doing that. For a while I had my HyperX Stingers that had the mesh earcups instead. The mic recently started to have interference type noises that my friends were complaining about. I had the headset since 2022 however. I recently switched to a cheaper headset but I'm loving it so far, The sound clarity & how loud it actually gets is amazing for it's price point, as well the comfort and features. It even has a RBG mode but I disable that by double pressing the mic mute button to save battery. It's the AOC ACG2502 Wireless Gaming Headset.
