I like Logitech, personally, i have the G PRO X wired and wireless.
HyperX you might like aswell, have a cheap headset that is fairly decent, Hyperx Cloud Stinger 2.
Its a question to go to a local store and try the display ones, if theres some.
Logitech and HyperX have both cheap options for headphones, they are not bad at all.
But still look on Aliexpress or even Temu, for the most sold headphones with good reviews, look at reviews with photo/videos.
I use the G Pro X wired headset with Arc Raiders and I can very clearly tell the direction of footsteps, gunfire, explosions, etc.
Is it just the above and below sounds that are hard to distinguish, or all sound directions entirely?
Logitech G Pro X (wired)
EPOS H6PRO (open or closed)
HyperX Cloud Alpha (or Cloud Stinger 2 if on tighter budget)
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 (wired USB‑C)
the EPOS H6PRO is the strongest single recommendation.
If you want to save more cash but still avoid trash mics, the Logitech G Pro X (wired) is the next best bet, especially if PC play and Discord are a big part of your usage.
Had Pro X Wired, decided i got tired of switching them between my Gaming Desktop PC and Laptop, so got the wireless version for Desktop, and gonna use wired version with Laptop.
So far so good, sounds great in games to me, music sounds great, then again i'm not too picky of a person. been using Logitech headsets for years now
i had the Logitech Pro X wired and now im on the Hyper X Cloud 3s wireless. With the Logitech i never had an EQ i just used the standard with the Logitech G Hub settings. The HyperX default sound feels "flat" but with an EQ and the DTSX they sound rly good in games, YT and movies. I would say both are an good option. I feel like the mic on the HyperX is a little bit better but never had a complain about the mic on both. You can't go wrong with either one.
The general advice is don't buy "gaming" headphones. Those are mostly just advertisement. As someone who plays competitive FPS games and listens to a lot of nuanced music, I can tell with a lot if certainly that the Sennheiser HD 560S are the best at doing all of these, when compared to the Logitech G Pro X, HyperX Cloud II, and some mediocre Razers my friend had. I did a lot of research, and the general consensus of this sub and many other resources is that the HD 560S are among the best in terms of versitility. Browse this sub a bit more; use the search function, and you'll find a lot of very useful info.
I'm not really the guy to ask. I've only used 4 pairs overall, so I don't quite know how others compare. Out of the ones I've used, I'd rank them
1. HD 560S - 9/10
2. Lotitech Pro X (wired) - 7/10
2.5. Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro - 10/10 as for earbuds
3. HyperX Cloud II - 5/10 ; 4/10 with 7.1 being ON
3.5 - JBL Reflect Flow - 7/10 as for earbuds
4. The pair which I don't rembember what it was. Some budget, advertised as music-oriented pair of headphones ‐ 5/10
