How come no mention of CLOUD STINGER on your list? I bought these back in 2023: [https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08634653D?th=1](https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08634653D?th=1) I only pop them on when I am playing with friends, otherwise I just use my speakers. What would I benefit from if I upgrade? Mine are 7.1 and these were highly recommended back then.

for that budget and wanting bass plus surround, check the [Razer BlackShark V2 X](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=Razer+BlackShark+V2+X) - it's usually around $50 cad on amazon and has razer's surround sound software that actually works. [HyperX Cloud Stinger Core](https://featherab.com/shopit?search_keywords=HyperX+Cloud+Stinger+Core) is another one with solid bass for dayz footsteps. that flying around your head feeling is virtual surround and both do it well. your old pair probably had it enabled in software so just install the driver for whichever you grab. been using the razer one myself and explosions sound chunky enough.

They work fine? I used them when Online Zoom school was a thing. Maybe your Network or mic settings are set badly

I've been rocking the lowest tier kyper x headset I could get for about 5 years now with no issues lol.

low budget gamer here too, if mic bleed is the issue, go for a 3.5mm headset with a proper boom mic like HyperX Cloud Stinger or Razer BlackShark V2 X or even entry Turtle Beach models, they handle voice isolation much better than earphones.

No problem! I just wanted to make sure I knew the distinction before making a recommendation. Within your budget all gaming headsets will be pretty comparable to one-another due to limitations so you really can’t go wrong with any, but I think that HyperX is the best in the budget wired-headset department. I’d look into their sub-40€ options and go from there, they also go on sale fairly often. You can generally find a headset within the HyperX Cloud Stinger lineup under that budget often. I haven’t personally tried the JBL headset you mentioned so I can’t give an opinion on it.

Wondering if anybody has any recommendations for a wireless gaming headset. I apparently have a small head (or maybe all the headsets are just made for men, idk). Anyways, I really like the ones I have (HyperX Cloud Stinger), I've had them for a few years, but even on the smallest setting they still constantly fall off my head and they kill my neck after a while. Any suggestions?
