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.
68? What??? I use mine at around 10 for youtube, 1-2 for gaming...
The EQ doesn’t save to the headset (the default EQ is great) and the spatial sound only work with the app running in the background and the app is buggy my main app is stuck on a driver update loop locking me from enabling spatial sound everything else is fucking Awesome I don’t regret this purchase Note: I upgraded from an A10 so my bar is low lol
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.
I had the hyperx cloud 2 for like 10 years. Now proud owner of cloud 3.
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.
Probably my Monarch Mk4 IEMs, just seriously good listening. Switch for more bass, dont change massively with different tips, but enough you can sorta alter the sound without EQ. Close would be my Focal Azurys. They were mega cheap on sale recently and I wanted a pair of closed backs because I mostly, only used open backs until I tried out Hyper x cloud IIIs and liked them, also had some in ear issues so couldnt use IEMs for a short while. Absolutely love them.
