BlackShark V3 X HyperSpeed

Yes, at that budget, I would suggest that headset or the Razer Blackshark V3 X. I did a deep dive recently myself, and wound up picking up the HyperX Cloud III S, but in your price point, the SteelSeries or Razer would offer more value than most of the HyperX line-up.

You bought a cheap headsett, I did also when I firstly purchase Razer Kraken v3 X - they also broke within year or two. Using Blackshark v3 X Hyperspeed and it's like day and night difference. Just don't buy the cheapest option.

Razer Blackshark v2 X hyperspeed, i can never go back to wired headset now.

I wrote this under a different post but since this is quite fresh as well, I will copy here, maybe it will be helpful to someone with similar considerations: I have never had any headsets from these companies and recently tested some of them, here are my thoughts: Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3: decent sound quality, worst build quality, decent mic, decent software - DQ'ed for build quality and audio quality SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5: good sound quality, good build quality, good mic, bad software - DQ'ed for having analog attenuators, where one speaker played at way different volume than the other, depending on the volume wheel position (tested in 2 different pairs) Razer BlackShark V3X: good sound quality, good build quality, better mic, good software Razer BlackShark V3: better sound quality, better build quality, best mic, good software Razer BlackShark V3 Pro: best sound quality, best build quality, decent mic, good software HyperX Cloud III S Wireless: better sound quality, good build quality, decent mic, decent software It came down to V3 vs Cloud III. With V3 Pro being best build and best audio but quite heavy and expensive, and V3X as well as V3 not being as comfortable (the smallest headband adjustment was almost too large for me, and too large for my wife, where there is way more headband adjustment in V3 Pro, kind of weird), the winner is HyperX Cloud III S Wireless. Why? For me they are comfortable (the ears don't touch the inside of the cup, you can also remove the outside cup sections reducing the weight by another ~30g), sound isolation is good, decent enough mic and long battery life. I was looking for a headset that does have sound quality that can be enjoyable with music, and the other headsets on the list above like the Stealth 600 or the Arctis Nova 5 do not provide that (nor they should, they are for gaming, therefore, they have other sound properties pronounced, which you can also emphasize via software). Cloud III S have naturally more similar sound quality to V3, but I think it is a bit more detailed, and they sound great for the 75$ I got them for. For me, they would be good even at 120$. Again, it is my subjective opinion, and I have never used these softwares previously, only for the testing purposes (I know people have had different experiences over years).

Arctis Nova 5 decent, but I can't recommend due to the 2 pairs I tested had the same issue (the left and right drivers not being equal volume because of the analog attenuators and the volume wheel :)...). I'd recommend Razer BlackShark V3 or at least V3X, which should be around the same price range.

Razer BlackShark V3 - best value for PC‑focused, competitive gaming. HyperX Cloud Alpha (wired) - another good option Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 (wireless) - low latency, long battery life Corsair HS55 Stereo (wired) - cheaper option

Razer black shark v3. Little on the high end but worth every penny

I use a razer blackshark v3, it doesn’t completely block out all outside noise but greatly reduces it
