Average quality, not an outstanding product.

My challenge is that I am unable to adjust my spending habits to keep up with the rate of inflation in 2022. If we are talking about popular brands, the price range for mid-range headphones and headsets that were sold more recently was anywhere between 7000 and 9000. It is necessary to come to terms with the fact that, notwithstanding the collapse of the, and taking into consideration the rates of real inflation, the 7000-9000 range is a category that is high-quality but low-cost. Anything of value in the middle range now starts at $13,000. The selection of headphones that will actually be enjoyable in this day and age of online electronic retailers can be a challenging endeavor. The reference sound of Sennheiser headphones can be found at home, but in terms of ergonomics and comfort, this is merely an instrument of torture used by the Inquisition. There is no assurance that the purchase will leave you feeling satisfied, regardless of the brand being promoted or the attributes of the item. But, this particular headset is not one of HyperX's better offerings.

Pros

There are no squeaks to be heard when moving or tilting the head because the construction is so good. Easy on the shoulders. Ear cushions made of a plush, deep, and breathable fabric. The fit on the head is comfortable and there is no pressure or discomfort. A connection that does not require the use of wires and the laborious installation of drivers.

Cons

The sound is the headset's most significant Achilles' heel. The sound is uninteresting and uninteresting, with a dip in the middle and a sound that is cutting due to high frequencies. It seems as if you are listening to the sound through headphones that are hanging around your neck, but the volume is much higher. Things even sound worse when played back in 7.1 surround sound. The proprietary software does not include any settings or functionalities other than the option to activate 7.1 surround sound; in fact, there is not even an equalizer. I understood that in music it was not worth expecting at least some high-quality sound from a gaming headset, but to my surprise, this headset could not demonstrate the advantages in games either.
