CloudX Stinger 2 (Wired)

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

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 got the Hyper X Cloud Srunger 2. It mutes the mic when you put the microphone in up position.

sorry to hear about the nova 3p glitching, that sounds annoying. for around $70 on ps5, i've had good luck with the [HyperX Cloud Stinger 2](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?HyperX+Cloud+Stinger+2+gaming+headset) as a wired option - it's simple, reliable, and actually pretty comfy. if you want to try wireless again, the [Razer Barracuda X](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?Razer+Barracuda+X+wireless+gaming+headset) sometimes goes on sale near your budget and has a solid ps5 connection. honestly though, at that price point, wired usually gives you better consistency, and the [SteelSeries Arctis 1](https://metadoraffi-eng.github.io/shopit?SteelSeries+Arctis+1+gaming+headset) is another decent pick that shouldn't have the same issues as the nova 3p. i'd lean toward the cloud stinger 2 for pure reliability tbh.

bummer about the glitching - wireless interference can be such a pain. if you want something that just works without the headache, the [HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 Core wired](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hyperx+cloud+stinger+2+core&language=en_US&tag=bestdeals202f-20&ref=as_li_ss_tl) is right around your budget. plugs right into the controller and the audio stays clean no matter how chaotic the match gets. directional audio is solid for the price and you dont have to worry about charging or dropouts. sometimes wired is the move for PS5 just for the peace of mind.

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.

Wish i still had my kingston hyperx, they sadly died, but are still my favourite headset I've ever had
