"As a person that's been using them for almost 10 years"

"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."
"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. ... I played Valorant on PS5, xDefiant and Warzone. ... 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. ... there was a scene where I heard steps coming from a wall and I thought "there must be a room here" so I went around in silence and killed the guy with high precision, it was incredible and 100% thanks to the headset."

"But tbh the comfort, completeness and the easy of use from my HyperX can't be beat by those."
"one of the few headsets that doesn't hurt while wearing glasses"
"personally speaking, they're the most confortable headset/headphone I've ever worn. Can wear them for hours, no problem."

"the microphone was my biggest surprise. ... the Cloud II's microphone sounded the best, the clearer on every single audio device I've tested. ... Crystal clear microphone, picks up everything and has good cancelling, if you have an average voice it should sound better than most headsets. ... the microphone is one of the best I've used. Even when I talk quietly at night everyone can clearly understand every word I say. ... It's one of the best microphones i've used. Your voice sounds crisp and clear even if you're speaking lower. ... Also the higher pitch microphone will allow your teammates to hear you will even in loud situations."
"But if I switch to my Hyperx Cloud II the mic of that headset doesn't pick up the TV at all."
"excellent mic/audio quality for their class"

"the highs pierce my eardrums"
"I ditched all my gaming headsets (the cleanest sound was on my HyperX Cluod 2 wired & the Audeze Penrose) and use the Beyerdynamic dt770pro, Sennheiser hd560s, Crinacle Zero Blue and Moondrop Chu II (the last two are iems). All wired and without a mic, but man is the sound nice. ... I haven’t used HyperX since I got the dt770 and hd560 and that says it all. The difference in sound might not seem that big at start (it still is noticeable), but you’re just gonna be appreciating it more and more as time goes by. The detail and clarity is something else completely. I don’t think I’m ever gonna buy a gaming headset again."
"it had dogshit bass ... sounded awful"

"I can't tell where footsteps are in FPS games for shit."
"The only game where that 7.1 sound mode was useful is Arma 3 for me. Literally the only game where that gave a good advantage for some reason on Cloud 2"
"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"

"I have hated the software it needs to run effectively. Horrendous."
"the firmware updater is a nightmare"
"Not the best experience through USB out of the box, some people might have a negative thought about these because they didn't know they should update the headset."
