Seconding hyperX ! I use the cloud III wireless and they're great. I used to have the steelseries arctis 5, but the cord for it started to only work at a certain angle within a year
I like Steelseries brand personally. I have Arctis 5 Pros. Bought them almost 6 years ago now and they have no damage or wear whatsoever
To throw a spanner in the works the Arctic 5 Pro still has Bluetooth/dongle connections you can swap between with a button on the headset and doesn't need use the control station/selector thing. You don't even need to install the software to use this function and I swap back and forth between my PC and PS5 seamlessly. You can probably get it for a great price over there.
Had my Arctis 5’s since they launched in 2016. Still sound great, super comfy and buy new ear cushions every few years because they are cheap and only probably I had was the cord went bad, which cost like $15 to replace.
Got a Steelseries Arctis 5 headset but it gets hot quite often. I *am* using synthetic cushions so that could be part of the problem. Looking for something I can wear while doing chores to listen to music and talk that doesn't get hot. Was looking at the Kimura Duo but that isn't wireless, is it? I do have an old modmic so I guess I could use a wireless adapter with like a Sennheiser? I can get Sennheiser HD560S, HD599 or HD569 for 130€ or less. Yay or nay? HD650 for 200? **Budget:** up to 400€, preferrably in the 100-200 range **Location:** Germany **Source:** mainly (if not only) PC, Android **How the gear will be used**: Mainly going to use it at home for listening to music and voice chat. Also gaming and movies. Looking for a setup I can use in other rooms as well. **Preferred tonal balance**: I like crisp sound, be it bass and drums or treble. I guess balanced would be right for me? **Preferred music genres**: ***JPop, JRock***, old Rock, Power Metal, Heavy Metal. Stuff like **Ado, Loluet, Aimer, Vocaloid covers, Beast in Black**, Disturbed, **Linkin Park**. Some oldies like Def Leppard. **Past gear experience**: Steelseries Arctis 5, some 30€ JBL on-ear for my phone, otherwise Philips or Sony in-ear headphones. **Anything else?** Would be good if I had a mute button on the device or the mic didn't pick up surrounding sound.
+ for this. I have the 5 series, the app for profiles are amazing. Its kinda tricky to get custom modes for consoles, tho but not impossible. Also, its battery is over the top. Best experience with a headset, so far.
