Wirelesss headphone/headset advice

Goldman

Hey guys, i've been thinking of going wireless with my audio, but i'm doubting heavily about what to get.

i don't really need a microphone(got a cam with mic right now) so my main focus is audio quality. I'm doubting between a corsair virtuoso or a hyperx cloud 2 wireless, but i dunno if there's any other one i should be looking at. Most non-gaming headphones are BT only, which kinda discourages me (my mobo has BT, but i'm not sure if that would suck, heard bad things about the latency). Any suggestions?

Honestly if you value sound quality don't go wireless.  The Cloud 2 wireless is one of the best sounding wireless 'gaming' headset out there. If you're willing to try out wired options, can you define your budget and what you want in the headphone/headset (please specify which), and if you'd be willing to try out open-back headphones (sound can travel in and out of the headphone)?

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Which means audio will most often be more balanced and neutral with a punchy sound and smoother detailed treble still retaining good mids not being ruined by overpowered bass. Much better for both gaming and music if you don't have too much noise around in your room.

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

I value audio quality but i'm sorry to say my hearing is not good enough to notice the diference, i realized when i went from a gsp 300 to a hd58x, and tbh i didn't notice any difference (ofc other than my ears reciving some oxygen since for the first time in a while lol). i bought 'em together with a friend who has better hearing than me and he did notice(neither of us had an amp, so i could blame the integrated sound card, but i'm pretty sure that's not it).

That's why i'm going the confort route and going wireless
