HyperX - Cloud II

I had a HyperX Cloud II Wired headset which I loved. Eventually I wanted to go wireless and swapped to another (more pricey!) brand. I had several problems with it and honestly it was much less comfortable for my head. I missed my HyperX, so I bought the Cloud Alpha hoping it was essentially a wireless Cloud II. It is exactly that. I absolutely love it. The only way I would not recommend the headset is if you have above average sized ears. They fit a little smaller than many other headsets.

Hyper-X Cloud II's or IIIs, wired. Well rounded af, and also great for gaming.

Me still running hyperX headphones from 2015:

HyperX cloud 3s or wired cloud 2s are absolutely insane for an entry level headset. If you wanna go a bit more expensive, arctis 7 are alright, but I have always preferred the cloud II and then III. Extremely comfortable and last a long ass time. Cloud Alphas sound awful and I don't recommend them.

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

Love my hyperX. Sound great and so comfortable

Yup. Its sooo good and for such a great price. I also love the detachable microphone.

560s is possibly the upgrade you are looking for. You can attach different cable and microphone. I went Game Zero - HyperX Cloud 2 - Game One - 560s. Zero regrets.

Two suggestions. One is a pair of Grado SR60i. Second is the only headset I have seen last for my son with the giant melon head, and that's the HyperX Cloud 2 or 3. The microphone is detachable.

For PC headset I’ve had HyperX Cloud IIs for five years

I have a hyperx cloud 3 headset and owned a pair of cloud 2s before that. For a cheap set, I would go with 2s myself. Being an older model, they are a bit cheaper than the 3s and still have that comfort and sturdy build quality. I haven't owned the cloudx. How are those?
