The new ones are way worse in quality than the original Basically HP acquired HyperX and they became much worse, as someone who has both, I'd say look for smth else, also avoid Logitech overhyped headset But thats just me comparing to the original, which was perfect, I guess they are decent, definitely better than the newest Logitech ones

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

My headphones' left side doesn't work, unless when used with a audio to USB C adaptor with my phone. For whatever reason, it doesn't work with the split headset/microphone one, combined ones, or USB to headset/microphone adaptor. HyperX model number MSIP REM K98 CR I don't remember the regular name. HyperX Cloud Series S or something like that.

I don't think it's the glasses, I think the issue is 20 dollar turtle beaches. I have both a hyper x cloud core and Logitech g933. Glasses aren't an issue with either set

I have the hyperx one. Good enough mic which I also use for office meetings

Razer Nari Essential: used for 10+ hours daily for a few years until finally the volume rocker gave up. In total I had 2, and finally switched to HyperX Cloud 2 Core which I don’t really like that much because sometimes the headset crashes and restarts. If I could find the Nari again I would have bought it a 3rd time.
