Gaming Headset Broke Unexpectedly. Help Me Decide Between Wireless Gaming Headsets, or Recommend Me a Pair!
Posted by butteredpopcorn10@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 6 comments
My old Razer Nari Ultimates broke, and I'm suddenly in the market for a new headphones. I'm looking for a wireless headset with a mic between $100-$300. I understand a separate mic and wired headphone is the better option, but I alternate frequently between separate desk and simracing setups which would make cables and a separate mic extremely troublesome. I intend to use my headphones mainly for all kinds of games, but also movies and bass-heavy music like hip hop.
Priorities:
- Sound quality (good bass, surround/directional sound)
- Not too heavy + bulky (good for long session)
- Good battery life
- Simultaneous PC + Phone connection
Based on my budget and needs, I've narrowed it down to some options, but always looking for suggestions.
- A50 Gen 5
- Audeze Maxwell
- Fractal Scape
- Razer Blackshark V3 (any version)
- Hyperx Cloud (any version)
- Arctis Nova Pro
- other steelseries headsets

I have hyperx cloud alpha wireless. I am extremely happy with them, very comfortable on my big head.
Great battery life, great directional sound for games.
I'm not sure about the rest of your needs

How much did ur version cost full price? There are so many versions of the hyperx cloud.
Which hyperx headsets would you recommend after using urs?

I got them for around 150 euros on a sale (I think around 220 euros full price), been a while since I got them.
HyperX Cloud Alpha wireless is what I have and I'm very happy with it for gaming (Counterstrike, Rivals, Dota, Wow and similar stuff) and movies / tv series.
I'm not an audiophile and I don't like my loud music (regardless of the genre it's always on low volume for me), so I would not testify on the quality for music enjoyers.
I'm personally gonna struggle to swap out of the brand, I tried blackshark v2 pro and while the sound was good, it was a bit too tight for my head. This pair has so much more space / flexibility for my big head that sits comfortable.
I would definitely recommend them for gaming.

I have a40s, they're very mediocre. Uncomfortable and mid directional audio, I can't imagine the a50s are much better

Hm that sucks, this one blog I was reading raved about the Astro a50x but yeah now that I read more I see a lot of ppl having problem with base A50.
Other than those two negatives u mentioned, anything else u hated?

Not really, just the comfortability is my main issue
