HyperX - CloudX Stinger

Lol. Same with hypercloud. Why are people getting downvoted for reccommending gear they themselves have a positive experience with? Used mine for over 15 years. Has not skipped a beat. Comfy. I like the sound. Boom cones off if you don’t need it. It’s been fantastic bang for the buck.

Running Hypercloud- X headset here for years. (Like 15 years plus..still going)

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

If you're sticking to all in one headsets/gamer brand gear. Hyper X for sure (imo). Grab the nicest one they sell and be done with it. If you're willing to get wacky, theres always the DAC + Studio Headphones (DT990s or something) + Mic (Modmics and stuff exist for this). I went that route after years of gamer headsets and couldn't be happier. Not wireless anymore so if thats a deal breaker, stick with the gamer stuff unless you're ready to plonk down dumb money. The Hyper X stuff will do the job though for sure. :)

Neither. Look for the Kingston Hyper X or X2 Works with PC, XBOX, and Playstation. Utilizes Avionics headsets for noise cancelation. Are soft, use USB connection, you want wired, good mic that can be replaceable, has 7.1 surround sound. The X2 can literally be used with an airplanes' avionics suite. Cost about $100 less than what you're eyeballing there...

It depends on how much you want to spend... if you want something cheap that just works, get the Steelseries. If you're thinking about getting the Xbox official or Hypercloud, don't, just get some ASTRO A30s for $89 instead. They're the most comfortable, longest lasting, most durable headset I've ever had, and I've had quite a few since the 360 days. The Xbox Official and Hypercloud aren't bad, but Astros have always been the Gold Standard IMO, unless you move into the $150+ price range 🤷‍♂️

The HyperX Cloud series is pretty good and affordable.

At that price point you have to unfortunately pick and choose. Can't have all of that. One headset I've enjoyed around the 50 mark that has a removable microphone is the Hyperx Cloud series headsets.

Another vote for the HyperX Cloud series. Good sound quality (for a non music aficionado like me) and actually amazing build quality compared to lots of expensive gamer headsets. No flimsy plastic but solid medal frame. My old HyperX lasted 8 years. Finally, consider going wireless. I resisted a long time but finally got the Cloud Alpha and it truly has 300 hours of battery life. I don’t need to charge it for months and I use it daily for multiple hours (also for work zoom calls so mic quality is actually good).
