HyperX - Cloud III

Unlike what everyone says here, if you *really* want a gaming headset with a build in mic that is completely removable take a look at the HyperX Cloud 3 (or the new S version). Usually gaming headsets have a lot of bass and overall poor sound quality. The Cloud 3's on the other hand have a very neutral sound signature. Not that they lack bass, but compared to other "gaming" headsets it's a lot less forward. I think gadgetry tech has a good review about them on YouTube.

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 just got the HyperX Cloud III S and have been extremely impressed, they tick off every box and are by far the comfiest headphones I’ve ever worn. Even more so than my trusty ol’ XM3s. My friends said the microphone sounded good too.

I just came here and asked for headset advice not too long ago- I eventually settled on a HyperX and I love it! I went wired because I often got wireless interferance on my old wireless Logitech- I can't believe how much better my sound quality is.

Yeah that same part has broken on every pair of HyperX Clouds I've owned. I had two pairs that lasted decent length, but then I just opened a new pair like 2 months ago and that piece is already broken again. I used to be a fan but now I'm searching for a new brand.

Hyperx clouds only because of how light they are. I work in music and have an amazing pair of audio technicas and even though they're not SUPER heavy, they really hurt my head during long gaming sessions.

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?

I highly recommend the new Cloud 3 S. It's my first gaming headset in around 5 years, I started using audiophile headphones/IEMs around then (Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Hifiman, Fiio, Xenns, etc.). The tuning is very neutral and the new drivers are great. Even though I have a ton of wired headphones/IEMs, I find myself grabbing these for gaming and music more often the any of my other sets.

Cloud III's are the only ones there I would consider. But best option is probably the Fractal design Scapes if you want wireless and closed back.

Cloud III's are better. Even if the HS80 was cheaper I would take the Cloud III's  Better sound and better built. These are the wired versions though so if you want wireless, get the wireless cloud III's 

My HyperX clouds are hitting upto 9 years. Still work as well as the day I bought them

Same. Knocking on 8+ years no issues at all
