from my research- i mostly used reviews sites like reddit vetted-these are a few safe bets:
HyperX Cloud II/III just because they’re comfy and you don’t have to fight with software. nothing fancy, just works and the mic is serviceable.
the AKG K612 or Sennheiser HD560S. super clean imaging, great for footsteps and they’re not hyped garbage. you’d just need a small dac/amp but even a cheap dongle drives them fine.
also the Steelseries arctis wired models are still around and pretty chill. very comfy headband, decent sound and you don’t have to pray the drivers don’t explode
Arc Steel Series is another solid option. I have a wireless one I purchased for $100 two years ago and haven’t had a single problem. Crisp, clear audio and super comfortable too.
What headset you recommend? Currently have a hypercloud 2 and it´s breaking down as I´ve got it for 8 years now lol, bought the hypercloud 3 and it´s whack, literally feeling pressure on my ears and the microphone is bad. Tried arctic steelseries and even that one felt like pressure on my ears.
This take is stupid. It depends entirely on what you're doing with them. I don't WFH, no zoom calls, and I'm not a streamer. I've found my Arctis headset to be convenient and perfectly adequate for playing BF6 or Arc Raiders with a couple friends.
I have some Edifier MR4 monitors that I use when not using the headset. Picked them up for $80 on black Friday a couple years ago. Pretty happy with those as well, though I'm no audio engineer.
Honestly reddit hates everything. I've learned sometimes you gotta just do it and see for yourself.
I've had these for a few years now and I love them.
Admittedly they hurt the shit out of my ears and the sound quality was pretty bad out of the box. But I bought some third party earcups and found a equalizer that makes them sound good and I've had no issues whatsoever since then.
I also don't use surround sound either tbh, idk who would. The DTS sounds HORRENDOUS.
Funny enough I got some steel series arctis something or others that I've wanted for YEARS. Returned them two days later and apologized to my Pro X Wireless for trying to replace it.
Sometimes I think people just take it out of the box and use it, and that's their impression. Which I guess is fair, because it should just work right? but, idk. Gotta change a couple things sometimes.
