Which do you have? My cloud alpha revolvers have excellent mic monitoring.
Best value for money is hyperx cloud series
This. Or the wired hyperx cloud alpha, often £50 on Amazon UK. I've tried DOZENS of sets, some cheaper, some dearer but I just. keep. coming. back. to. the hyperx.
HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless is popular, I have an Alpha wired that I use for gaming and it’s great, or you can also check out the Cloud III wireless. The overall most popular one is the Audeze Maxwell, they’re supposedly really good in almost every way, only downside I’ve heard is that it’s heavy for some people. Best bang for your buck would be the Drop x Sennheiser PC38X, it’s wired, but it’s also open-back, which means larger soundstage and more immersive sound, at the cost of noise isolation. It also has probably one of the best mics on a headset. If you want open-back but wireless, then consider checking out the Turtle Beach Atlas Air. Another well-liked choice is the Arctis Nova 7.
I'm voting HyperX. I have the Cloud Alpha and it is comfortable, the sound is really good, the mic is excellent and the battery lasts FOREVER. I used to have a logitech G930 and I had to recharge that almost every day, with my HyperX I can use it for WEEKS without having to charge it. Would definitely buy again.
Logitech G Pro X (wired) EPOS H6PRO (open or closed) HyperX Cloud Alpha (or Cloud Stinger 2 if on tighter budget) SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3 (wired USB‑C) the EPOS H6PRO is the strongest single recommendation. If you want to save more cash but still avoid trash mics, the Logitech G Pro X (wired) is the next best bet, especially if PC play and Discord are a big part of your usage.
I've had a pair of HyperX cloud alpha's for 6 or 7 years now, they still work flawlessly.
Razer BlackShark V2 X Logitech G PRO X 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1P 7.1 SteelSeries Arctis Nova 1X 7.1 HyperX Cloud III HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless HyperX Cloud Alpha Corsair HS55 Wireless 7.1 Budget = No specific budget just one of these on top Location = Somewhere UK I dont have any budget i just have these options on top which one of these headphones is the best for gaming?
Thanks but these are all the same price so still cloud alpha wins? And why are others so bad?? Still thanks
I saw things like logitech g pro x being better than alpha and cloud 2 and both are same generation also they say g pro x is closer to studio headphones what do you think about this?
I ended up purchasing logitech g pro x since its closes to studio level headphone and its insane i tried every single one on the list and most professional and advanced feeling + quality was on logitech g pro x and hyperx clould alpha but i prefer logitech because of blue voice and hyperx being bought by HP is bad thats why out of them all best is logitech g pro x
Second this! I’ve had my cloud alphas for over 5 years. I use them daily and they still sound and work great.
I just recently got mine with the Topping DX1 and it's been amazing! I did have to get the headphones replaced once but it seems to be perfect with my second unit. My previous headset was HyperX Cloud Alpha so these are such a huge upgrade.
On the cheaper end, Hyperx cloud alpha. Had plastic bands prior that'd eventually snap. These Cloud Alphas are mostly metal, I've had something like 8 yrs. Cup pads were replaced twice, just randos off Amazon...
