The HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 – Wired PC Gaming Headset are $30 on Amazon they are fine, not the best. For the price they are good Razer BlackShark V2 X Gaming Headset: 7.1 are $36 on sale $31 for black
For something cheap, Acer Nitro K2 is decent at 3-3.5k. Great battery life & good mic, although audio quality is not great. Had wired HyperX Stinger before, that definitely had better audio quality. Still, its good for gaming. Sadly seem OOS now.
Hyper X all the way. They have been my go to for some time now. https://preview.redd.it/30xztenniv1g1.jpeg?width=2371&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fd20bcef0f9034e6dcce50196913f285a46ea98 Totally not biased at all.
I've got one of each from each price point, I love them all equally. Whichever you choose, definitely go wired as others have said.
Had to double check because of the names. Those 2 are the ones I use the most. Both sound great, both are super comfortable. My old stinger 2 did have a ear cup go out on me, but it lasted 1.5 years and I did drop it a bunch so that was most likely my fault.
Can second this. Good headsets. Had a pair of Hyperx Cloud Stinger 2 wired and it was great.
Stinger 2 or the Logitech. Neither of these is really "good" but for less than ten bucks it's okay. And these are still better tuned than the other options here. Though at that price point you might want to try IEMs instead. Truthear Gate or Moondrop Chu 2 are both about 20 dollars and are far, far above any of these sound wise.
I just bought Hyper X Cloud stinger 2 for like £33 with delivery, I can let you know how they are once I’ve used them if you haven’t ordered any yet, can’t go wrong at that price unless you’re really looking for something to improve your gameplay. My opinion might be biased as I’ve been using an old set of Turtlebeach headphones for something like 8 years until they broke, and now using old Apple ones until they arrive, so they might seem better to me than they actually are lmao.
So, honestly they’re not some crazy good set of headphones, but definitely a lot clearer than what I’ve been using for years. Pretty comfortable and lightweight. Better/clearer bass on them is what I noticed was a big difference, but again, could be because my old ones were so bad. I couldn’t even play on them full volume because of the bass when shooting (I have tinnitus and not trying to fuck my ears up even more lol), but if you can I’d imagine they’d be even better for hearing footsteps etc. Not noise cancelling but better than my other headphones. My friend said the mic was fine but sounded a bit more like a walkie talkie than my old ones. Overall, worth £35 for the headphones + delivery 100%.
Honestly though it depends on your budget, I don’t care enough to spend an extra £60 for a £100 set of headphones, these are more than fine for siege I’d say. Maybe they won’t last very long and that’s why they’re such a low price, but they don’t feel too cheap, just lightweight.
All good, I’m not an expert by any means so sorry I can’t really give good feedback, all I can say for sure is I’m happy with them for £35, and felt like I could hear enemies well with them. Better than my teammates, because I was calling out for them based on sound quite a lot lmao. So they must be better than whatever they were using.
Hyperx cloud stinger 2
id disagree, i just got these a few days ago and for $50 canadian ($35 usd) these have a pretty good build. yeah they dont feel extremely high quality but they dont feel like theyre bound to break either. theyre very comfy, lightweight, and the numbering for the adjustment helps you find and keep the best spot. i find the fit to be good but im sure it depends person to person. sound quality in my opinion is great for the price, and its pretty decent even for music, and i've had experience with higher end audio products. mic is just alright though, pretty distant sounding, but thats not a problem for me since i just use a blue snowball ice.
nah I use them on pc. I think the feature ur describing is purely software so you could use it on any headphones.
I bought a few Headsets over the years, and I have made a few Observations: Good quality sound is good for Music, but not neccessarily good for Gaming. I had a 150€ sennheiser that was Great, but the Audio mix made it hard to heat footsteps ingame. It was very Base Heavy, Great for music but completely useless for wz. I bought a 50 Bucks hyperx cloud stinger 2 and all of a sudden i could hear footsteps clear as day. It Sounds like it looks, plastic. It isnt Pretty, and it wont live Long I guess, because well, flimsy pastic and I am clumsy as fuck. But I got better at wz because I finally had good Audio. I think this Headset is not available anymore, and the successor is not as good. But dont spend an enourmous amount on a Headset, the Budget ones might have better Audio ingame!
Rog 500 is what i use with my PS5 Pro and. With this headset it allows me to set up the 3D sound ftom Dolby atmos that comes free with your PS5. I also have an expensive set but the noise cancelling ear pieces fell apart
Ive been using my ROg 500 headset on my ps5 Pro. And the console test the ROG 500 headsets so it is a 3D surround set up. My expensive pair are HyperrX cloud stinger 2. But the noise cancelling ear pieces fell apart. I will replace them. But these Rog 500 are really good 3d noise cancelling
