Hello reader, I used to have a HyperX Cloud Revolver S, I loved this headset because I could wear it for 12 hours and not feel a thing (and because it survived for 8 years of intense usage). Right now I have a Sony WH-XB910N but I want to sell it since the headset is just too tight around my ears and even causes my jaw to hurt when I wear it for too long. I've come to the conclusion the issue is the size of my head lol. I have really tried to get used to the Sony headset but it doesn't seem to be possible for me. Anyone else with the same issue that is able to give me advice for a new headset? I mostly listen to drum and bass, so good lows are a top priority for me next to the comfort. Thanks in advance for your answer!
I use the Kingston Revolver S and they have a suspension headband that keeps most of the weight on the top of my head and off of my ears so they're very comfortable with my glasses. Sadly they're discontinued though you can find them on ebay. I'm actually considering getting a backup pair on the off chance mine break, that's how much I like them. I've had them for seven years so so far so good.
As some others have said, soft cups are the way to go. I get headaches too if I don't have them. I also often only wear one ear to alleviate pressure on both sides of my head. I only wear both if I'm playing a game with proximity sounds and chat. edit: I have the HyperX Cloud Revolver S and it has been very trust for a few years now!
Hyper X Revolver S. Had it for 6 years, replaced the ear foam twice, still going strong. Little heavy but great headset. Only real gripe is no mute switch. You need a controller adapter for it.
Bummer. I have the cloud revolver which doesn’t appear to exist anymore but I love mine
Which do you have? My cloud alpha revolvers have excellent mic monitoring.
Best value for money is hyperx cloud series
Hyperx Cloud Revolver 9s. Unfortunately not sold anymore, but if you can pick up a box from ebay or something, it's the best bang for your buck headphones I've ever used! The biggest reason is the Dolby surround sound toggle. That thing increases the quality tenfold lol.
