As in title and I don’t care about wired as I’ve been using cloud ll for 5 years. The leatherette started flaking so time to upgrade. I’ve ordered both of these headsets (as in I have them both but one needs to go back) and wondering if anyone are or have used these and know which on as the better sound. I hearing mixed reviews though. I hear flight S “surround sound” is not even a surround sound but a volume boost. The alpha S I heard on a review is much better than the cloud ll and bass adjustment is great and dual chamber drivers are something I think would be better. I have Dolby atmos to if that makes any difference to or either. Oh and I don’t use the mic on any headset. I have the quadcast for that.

Since you already have a mic. Do you think you could look into open back headphones? If possible.

PM/DM me if you have any questions about audio.

I'm not sure what that means, Haha, I'd like to stick with HyperX or some similar like I hear a lot about steelseries comparable.

You should watch this review if you thinking about it. 

 

Well apparently Alpha S kills the cloud ll. About the flight S though seems like just a volume boost from his review of those.

 

I just don't want to keep buying headsets. So indecisive, sorry guys.
