I don't think it's the glasses, I think the issue is 20 dollar turtle beaches. I have both a hyper x cloud core and Logitech g933. Glasses aren't an issue with either set
Take this from someone that used exclusively Focal's with a Mod Mic for almost a decade before trying a wireless gaming headset. Use the wireless gaming headset. HyperX Core II Wireless. Yes, the audio you get from whatever setup you have with actual headphones is amazing. Yes, the convenience of having a wireless headset is 1000x times better and the audio is 70% as good for gaming.
Love my hyperX. Sound great and so comfortable
Yup. Its sooo good and for such a great price. I also love the detachable microphone.
DONT get the Sennheiser HD450 BT. They sounded good but fit a bit small over the ear. They we're in the case for the past year (owned for 3 years total and hardly used)- and when I opened them back up yesterday I found that all the foam covering vinyl had separated from itself on one ear. They were still charged and good to go otherwise - but I'll definitely not be looking to Sennheiser for my next pair. What a pissoff. My HyperX Cloud 2's are corded but seem to be holding up much better - plus more comfortable.
In short, I've used my Cloud 2s for years now and while they are the most comfortable headset I've ever tried (especially having a big head) I want to look for better audio quality for bass heavy music and gaming. I bought the 560s and unfortunately had to return them due to the really tight clamp force, so I am looking for any recommendations of people who happen to know how the Cloud 2 comfort is, but for headphones that provide better audio quality but have the comfort of Cloud 2s. I'm not trying to dive deep into the audiophile world, but I would like to treat myself to better audio quality. Thanks!
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.
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?
Hifiman Edition XS - It’s been a long journey since the HyperX Cloud 2, then the Arctis Nova 5, followed by the Meze 99 Classics (which I love for music or single-player games — and the comfort is unbeatable), and even the Fiio FT1, to finally end up with the HIFIMAN Edition XS. For BF6, footsteps, spatialization, and accuracy, it’s amazing. All it’s missing is a 3D-printed strap for extra comfort.
My hyper X cloud 2s have lasted donkeys years
