Buy the best quality headset from a reputable brand, preferably a non-gaming brand as gaming headphones consistsently shaft quality in order to con gamers out of more money. --- https://puu.sh/tcLsT/24f4611235.png https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:898716504] in Is there a...

slipknirvana 03/29/18 6:37:29 PM #12:	I bought the HyperX Cloud Core; they weren't very good, the highs such as footsteps, creeks, plus wind were covered in bass. The gun shots were pretty good though. This was with Dolby Atmos playing ROTTR. So I returned them yesterday.
