I've been rocking the lowest tier kyper x headset I could get for about 5 years now with no issues lol.
I have a pair of Logitech astros now with a mix amp. But before when I was on more of a budget I bought the hyper cloud x and I don’t have any complaints
They’re mostly fine. Which is going to be satisfactory for 95% of people. Yeah there’s some “bad” options but only if you really cheap out. If you’re not an audiophile, then you fall into that 95%. I had an entry level audiophile setup for a while. Games sounded really immersive with my open back sennheiser headphones. I would instinctively turn around sometimes from in game noises. Sound bleed and low bass were the only cons, separate mic and wires were another for me. I gave up the audio quality for some wireless headphones (Hyper X Flight 1 years > Hyper X Flight S 5+ years and counting). Been my setup for the past 6 years and idk how they’ve never broken. The convenience of wireless and all in one is perfect. Games still sound fine, bass is decent, no sound bleed, no wires. I’m satisfied.

Hyper X Flight S, because after like 5 years they refuse to die for whatever reason I actually use the wireless charging feature all the time
I had 3 of these. They always break within 6 months.
The right earcup always fall off the hinge and the material on earpads starts deteriorating after 6 months of daily use. I used to like these headphones but not anymore because build quality is bad. I switched to Sennheiser 660s and a usb mic.
I got a JBL gamer headset that was like 250$ and it failed in less than a year so I cheaper out and got hyperx wireless headset and it seems like a much higher quality. Basically JBL is trash
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.
loved my astros. especially with the fiber audio. had them for a very long time. i got a wireless pair of hyperx for around $200. those are great too. im never going back to wired. headsets are worth the money, i feel the cheap ones really dont last especially razer
