New wireless headphones.

Hiii,

I was looking into buying new wireless headphones. I currently have g933s but they aren't working very well, since the on switch makes one side sound louder while wiggling it, the things also reboot while unmuting the mic. So I was looking into cheap replacements. I was looking at the razer nari essentials or the corsair hs70s. Which of these is better? I could get a better delivery time and 2/3 the cost on the corsairs though. What do y'all think?

The cloud flights are much  more expensive where I live. I could get the cloud alpha for the same price as the hs70s though.

I'd steer clear of all gaming headsets aside from the HyperX Cloud stuff, and the Cooler Master MH752 or MH751. though there's only one wireless one in that range though, and it's the cloud flights. Even Corsair's virtuoso isn't very good in terms of sound, and Razer is a lost cause both in sound and build quality.

That's not wireless BTW, but if you don't mind then go for it. Though I'd get a Coolermaster MH752/751 over a cloud alpha

Are the cloud flights better than the hs70? I might be able to get them at more or less the same price.edit: also, the logitech g533s are also an option I think.

I personally use a Corsair Void RGB Pro (Wireless USB).  No complaints here - good audio in and mic audio is decently crisp on Discord.  It's $99 on Amazon.  Can't comment on the two headsets you mention in your OP.
