HyperX Cloud Alpha Gaming Headset with Dual Chamber Drivers & Durable Aluminum Frame - Detachable Noise-Canceling Mic - HyperX Alloy Core RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with 5-Zone RGB Backlit Keys - Perfect for PC, PS4, Xbox & Streaming

I'm no audiophile, but I wear headphones all day, every day at work, and can say with confidence, this is an amazing headset, at a fair price. The HyperX Cloud headset was recommended to me by a friend, but I was initially turned off by their relatively simple design, and fundamental features. I put gimmicks and frills before basics, and after a disappointing and frustrating experience with a pair of Astro A40s I ordered the HyperX.The design of the HyperX are simple and clean, but extremely high quality. The aluminum frame makes the headset feel solid as a rock, yet it sits lighter on my head than Astros which were all plastic. The ear cups are large enough to fully enclose the ear, making a tight seal creating a near noise cancelling effect. The pads are dense enough to not compress and feel the drivers pressing into your temples, but soft enough to be comfortable while wearing glasses. The boom mic arm is thicker than most I've seen, and holds its position firmly once oriented to your liking. it is also detachable so the headset can be used as a regular set of over-ear headphones. the in-line mute cable is a thicker gauge and cloth covered, with a sliding mute switch and a volume wheel that works crisply and cleanly every time. Game audio sounds great. Chat is crystal clear, and I had never noticed all the ambient noise in the game environment until picking these up.Don't waste time on a headset with flash and frills. Buy these, and get back to enjoying your game.
