HyperX - Cloud III

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 

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.

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

For fps specifically i think these are the best. I can pinpoint footsteps from up, down, left, right, diagonally, etc. But the 560s are better for the rest like single player games

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

I have the same model and it's not bad at all. I got it for $30 on special from Walmart so keep an eye out for deals OP.

I take it back they were $40. Normally $100.. anyways they go on sale and they're pretty good. The mic is detachable, I like that as well.

Save up and get a HyperX Cloud III. Shit will last you years and has excellent sound quality.

Headset mics are always never better than “it’s fine”, and HyperX Cloud III’s definitely fall into that bracket.

HyperX Cloud III. The wired version probably has a lower latency than the wireless version. My son, who is notorious for being rough on headsets, had a set of Cloud II last for 6 years, and only recently replaced them with the newer model. And the ear pads are a common size for when they wear out.

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 have the same problem. For reference, when I wear bike helmet, I wear 62cm. Baseball cap size is XL or 7 3/4. I currently use Nova Pro 7, but the mic quality is not the best, and the sidetone has static noise. I have been using it for 3 years and looking for new one with better sound quality, mic and sidetone. Prior to this, I was using Sennheiser HD 598cs (same as 569), it's comfortable, but mic wasn't great and its wired. Here are the headphones I bought and returned due to small size. (either too tight or don't cover my earlobes) Logitech G Pro X2, Astro A50 gen5, Turtle Beach Stealth 700, EPOS H6Pro open, HyperX Cloud III, Nova Pro Wireless , Nova Pro 5. Drop PC37X, Sony Pulse, Sony Pulse Elite, Sony H5 Inzone. The only one that fit my head comfortably is Asus ROG Delta II, but the app is too buggy and sidetone didn't work for me.

[This is a great choice](https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-III-Ultra-Clear-USB/dp/B0C3BSZ56D?sr=8-4). I've used these for years (the HyperX Cloud's) and they're pretty decent build and sound quality. I recommend the wired models over wireless.
