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?
I have these it's good works simple. G pro wired. But I rather avoid these get better ones out there.. Like Sony etc..dell..
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.
So I’ve had these OG g pros not x for 5 years. Got them when they first came out in 2019 for 100$. Well I really liked them. Prime day deals had them 69$. Ordered them up and the audio is worse? What’s the deal here? I play bf2042 a lot. My original g pros using the dac and dts enabled in windows spatial settings sounded fantastic. I could hear people from all directions fine. Well this new dac for the pro X has it only through g hub. It sounds muffled. The foot steps are literally non existent and all I hear is explosions and gun fire across the map but before had no problem. Fiddled with the eq got it to sound slightly better but it’s not even in the realm of the g pro using the windows setting for dts. I paid for a license years back as I didn’t realize they made just a g pro non x. Wondered for years why I had no surround setting in g hub. Any fix before I return these things? Not trying to spend an arm and leg and feel I just wasted $$ because despite the condition of the 5 year old g pros they work fine and sound great still I just figured it was a good time to buy a backup on sale and was torn on the cloud iii vs these but had good luck with the previous set. G hub was uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version before plugging them in. Also the blue voice…. In 5 years are very competitive gaming. Never once heard someone say I sound weird. Or bad. Or anything. Now using the blue voice everyone says I sound weird and completely different.
I actually think I’m gonna try the cloud iii and return whichever one sounds worse. I see complaints on those but they’re a newer set for the same price. On my OG g pros I can use atmos and all the spatial settings while retaining ghub eq and mic settings. They just don’t have the blue voice which I really don’t care for anyway now after trying it. And no surround option through ghub. I figured they’d be better or atleast the same through g hub but not this LOL in bf2042 people can litterally run on concrete inside a building right next to me and I can’t hear them. That’s an absolute deal breaker for me cause I could hear people across the room on the g pro non x with dts enabled through spatial setting in windows. It’s like they forced you to use ghub with the pro x to have dts and it’s a downgrade now. WHY LOL
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.
xbox headset, or he plays on xbox? If he's on PC, I've tried a few and I really like the Logitech Pro X 7.1. They're about £120. There's also a SE Amazon-exclusive version at just £60 at the moment which seems to have all the same features. The reason I like them is that the audio positioning - which is super important in PUBG - is fantastic, amongst the best I've experienced in multiple sets of headphones at all prices. Note, they are wired. Wireless, I'd recommend the CORSAIR Virtuoso RGB Wireless SE 7.1. The spacial audio on these works really well too, and the mic quality is unparalleled - listening to friends who also use this headset, there's not a whisper of background noise or hiss or anything, it's so clear it's like they're narrating an audio book to you. These are a tad expensive - £250 - and I stopped using them only because I swapped to a different audio system and some wired headphones...otherwise these would be my go-to.
