If it’s only a good headset for overall gaming. Any top five or top 5 YouTube recommendations. But if you focus on footsteps for fps, it’s a hard time finding one. I got pulse 3d, turtle beach 600 gen 2, cloud x 3 and Logitech 300 family. The best one of these for footsteps was the turtle beach, but the microphone is garbage, it keeps getting any background noise, don’t know the gen 3 if they fixed that issue. I updated the firmware but is useless. The second best one of these four options for footsteps for me is the cloud X 3. But for overall gaming any one.
HyperX Cloud Pro HX-HSCL-SR. Everything sounds like straight dogshit after these
I like the hyperx cloudx
HyperX CloudX. I’ve been using the same pair for 2+ years, so when it was on sale recently I bought a spare. Very comfortable, I’ve worn it frequently for 2-5 hours consecutively. Feels higher quality than the Turtle Beaches I used to have + sturdier material.
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
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.
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!
