I don't know, but I bought Hyper X Alpha 2 back in 2018, they're still perfect condition, and I can hear the exact location of a pin dropping across the map.

HyperX cloud alpha wireless. Love them but mic is quite shit to be honest. If mic is the only concern you can think of separate microphone. For some 30-40 bucks you can buy a really good one with arm included and use it instead of the headphones built-in

saw that ppl dont rly like turtle beach on a site called reddit vetted (it scraped a ton of reddit reviews) so i wouldnt recc that. they look good on paper but break or the mic dies way too often according to a lot of folks. from your list the safest picks are the steelseries 7P or the hyperx cloud alpha wireless. 7P is just stupid comfy and super consistent on ps5. mic isn’t amazing but the overall sound and battery and comfort combo is hard to beat. cloud alpha wireless is the opposite vibe kinda bulky but the battery legit lasts forever and the sound is more fun for games

Hyperx cloud alpha here - the battery life is INSANE.  It is also ridiculously comfortable. Hands down the best wireless headset I've had, ever.

HyperX Cloud 3 / 2 - cloud alpha 2 wireless

2 months ago

cloud 3 is the most comfortable headset ever you could buy. the sound is also very neutral bass is lowered a bit so there is no chance for you to miss a single detail in any fps game. but for single player games i would recommend alpha probably

I've tested 10+ top rated headphones in the 100-350 range. If you want many features and good sound quality get Arctis Nova Pro. But I found the Hyperx Cloud Alpha wireless had the best immersive surround sound and overall better sound with their 50mm dual chamber drivers. In my opinion they even succeed some audiophile headphones. Unfortunately the Cloud Alpha has mid tier mic and not many features. But that's the headset I went with because I value sound and comfort, also the 300 hour battery life is great.

I have a Cloud Alpha wireless that I think I've charged like 4 times in the 3 and a half years I've owned it. The battery in it is truly one of the great wonders of the world Only issue was I had to relocated my router since the 2.4ghz interference caused some annoying popping.

I switched my DT 770s for Hyperx cloud alpha wireless and i don't regret it at all. My DT770 drivers actually broke after 2-3 years byt the hyperx have been just fine
