"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"The ability to use 2 Channel stereo audio, excellent for FPS shooters (hearing footsteps). ... The logitech and some corsair wireless headsets force surround sound on in Windows audio settings through their drivers, which make the sound muffled and make poor positional audio."
"they're also extremely crystal clear probably because of the 53mm drivers. ... I could feel everything, even just reloading a gun, I could hear all those metal parts moving. This was not even noticeable in any of the other headsets."

"everything I've tried so far is too "inside your head" to be convincing in immersive games. ... The soundstage of most headphones is too narrow"

"They sound like very high but trashy at the same time. ... I made the upgrade to ps5 and they are a mess. ... On Apex Legends I can't play like normally because of this. It's like a chaotic sound coming from everywhere. :("

Would go for hyper x cloud wireless, its good sound good mic and not over expensive, arround 100 a 120.
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->Alpha came out after Cloud II iirc. I don't know if there's any meaningful improvements over Cloud II however. As of the latter; I've owned a Cloud II and it was built like a goddamn tank. Sound quality is decent and I've spent countless hours in tactical FPS titles with that bad boy. I'd highly recommend it.
r/HyperX • Which ones are really worth it? ->Plastic connectors to the headband will probably disintegrate. Happened to my twos after a couple months
r/HyperX • HyperX Cloud Wireless III S: What the Cloud III Should Have Been ->In my experience the hyperx cloud headset is one of the best options for the price just don't lose the detachable mic
r/XboxSupport • Advice on which headset to buy for Series X ->Love my hyperX. Sound great and so comfortable
r/gamers • What gaming headset the best value for money? ->Yup. Its sooo good and for such a great price. I also love the detachable microphone.
r/gamers • What gaming headset the best value for money? ->I’ve had a ton of “gaming headsets” over the years, including a ton of sennheisers via sponsorship during cs. They’re all shit, because they try to do both audio and mic. And they’re all cheap plastic. Swapped to Beyerdynamic DT770 pro + XLR mic and after 12 years of using that I’m swapping to 990 pro because they’re literally falling apart now. Can even buy replacement parts to fix it up again. Never looking back at overpriced “gaming branded headsets” Maybe the only one I can recommend if you still insist on getting one, is the hyper x cloud 2 Because of similar durability with Beyerdynamic, as it’s literally a product made with them.
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->Sorry just saw this message, and no unfortunately this is a wired headphone set…(the Dt770) The cloud 2 hyperX has a wireless variant that works with ps5 as far as I know, ( but might come with a small amount of static if you’re sensitive to this ) Can recommend turning either the headsets 7.1 off or on the ps5 side as having both on can cause issues For the rest it’s plug and play
r/razer • Stay away from Blackshark Razer wireless headsets ->Really? I’ve bought 2 Kingston cloud 2s since 2017. My brother got a HP one a couple of months ago and it just didn’t sound as crisp. I asked him to do a blind rating and he knew which ones were which 🤷🤷 f knows. Just do whatever makes you happy

r/HyperX • Which ones are really worth it? ->I always recommend something from HyperX. The cloud 2 has a more fun sound, while the cloud 3's are more balanced. I also find the 3's to be hands down the best for comfort and their wireless varieties (especially the 3 S) being the best tuned out of the box without eq
r/buildapc • Please, I BEG! Can anyone help me pick a budget “gaming” headset to give as a gift, I’m out of my depth and losing my mind! ->for me its HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset i still have it after 3y and its still better then any other take a look [https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/\_c3YaWPnH](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3YaWPnH)
r/gamers • What brand of gaming headset is the best? ->Easily HyperX Cloud 2. Have had 2 pairs, both were great. Good audio, comfortable and pretty sturdy. The value for money you get on them is amazing IMO.
r/HeadphoneAdvice • Which of these Gaming headsets is the best value for money? (Strictly limited to these options only) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
