    I’ve only had this headset for about a month. I really loved them at first, they’re super comfy, and I personally think they sound great. I started having issues with them disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, I fixed that issue, and then I started having issues with the audio having static noise. I’ve fixed it for now, but it’s still a bummer. I’ll probably go with another manufacturer next time

    I really like the build of these headphones. There are a lot of pros that come along with this, for instance the buttons are a lot more responsive and you can tell when you are pressing them more so than hyperX cloud 2 wireless. Microphone quality seems really good too, the mic monitoring is incredible and you can really hear yourself well. The one con I have with this headphone that happens to be a pretty big con is the sound quality. They are nothing like the hyperX cloud 2 wireless. The surround sound just absolutely does not work so if you're listening for sounds around you they are very sharp and don't sound like natural sounds around you. There are a plethora of things I have tried to get the DTS surround sound working. Contacted HyperX support to no avail. Even searched all over the internet on solutions and this seems to be a pretty common problem. I really don't believe there will be a solution just because it is likely a firmware or software problem that hyperx simply can't fix at this point. I was really tempted to return to my cloud 2 but decided that pros on this headset just outweigh going back to a previous version.

    The headset is comfortable, but the microphone keeps falling out of the port and the connection is spotty. I expected more for the price.

    It gets the job done sounds a lot better than my last headset but for the price I paid I would expect a better sound. I will have to manually adjust the setting so the deep sounds don’t sound muffled. I like to game for 4+hours and in 2 hours of continuous use I feel sore from the head set. So far no problem with the connection.

    The quality of the headset structure and audio is fairly good, I have had some issues with the microphone and people not being able to hear me as well as I have been trying to update the headset for the past month and it won’t, it’s stays on the same firmware even though it says an update is needed

    I like the feel but it wouldn’t work on my Xbox. Took it back and got the alpha.
