Wireless headset

shadowss

Hello im on the lookout for a new wireless headset since my logitech g pro x just broke after think 3-4 years (had them for a long time so cant remember how old they are)of use the little plastic thing holding it came open and cant close again could fix it with some tape but not sure how well that would be 

would like to hear some recommendations since well as you can hear i have not shopped for wireless headset for a while and when i look at them seem like most people are recommending headset that are way more expensive than these was these were around 100 us dollars expecting to use a max of 150 us dollars

Do you require wireless?  Wired are far cheaper and open up a much larger world of options whether you go with a gamer headset or an audiophile solution.

i know wired are far cheaper but at the same time i have gotten so used to wireless and find it much better for my usecase since usually when i buy wired i have to change it out every like 1-1 and a half years cause wire is broken

I understand, wireless has it's uses.  But if you get something with detachable cables and perhaps replaceable pads it will last longer than other wired options.

again have tried detachable cables and headset with non detachable cables before many times and no matter what the cable always end up breaking even the charging cable on this headset is partially broken to the point where the metal is exposed so for me wireless is better and i also found it less annoying to not have a cable that goes infront of me or goes in the way constantly 

so again im very sure i would want a wireless headset again for the simple reason for my usecase its just better and easier for me to take care of after all the amount of time i had this equal to the amount of time i usually had around 3 different other headsets 

a thing there would also happen with headsets would be i would forget there was a cable or that i had a headset on and sometimes just yank out the cord or pull the cord tightly this has happen many times with other headsets never really happen with this cause well its wireless

For this kind of budget I'd just go for HyperX Cloud of some generation, I'm not huge on their sound but they are certainly reliable and until you reach Audeze Maxwell prices that's as good as you'll get wireless

can see that i could get a SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 wireless for 129 us dollars where cheapest i could find of the hyperx cloud wireless would be hyperx cloud 2 and 3 wireless for 187 do you have any experience on the steelseries and would it be worth buying that instead maybe ?

I haven't tried many Steelseries headsets, but you do see too many posts on here and elsewhere about "My steelseries headset is dead" for me to be happy recommending them, there just isn't many good gaming headsets or wireless headphones out there

thats very fair i know how the cloud 2 sound cause i bought a pair for a friend as a gift some years back guessing the wireless ones does not sound different or much different than the wired and they would def be a lot worse than the ones i currently have but ill give it that hyperx usually are quite sturdy 

i know a friend of mine have had steelseries headset for years but going off one person when it comes to choosing does not make me happy thats why i ask around what other people would recommend
