7.1 Gaming Headsets 2019

[Yes] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been playing computer video games right after the invention of the wheel in every configuration possible in both video and audio. I went from a highfalutin 5.1 surround system to mutiple experiments with 2.1 systems.but nothing engaged me fully in the gaming until now. Set up was again very easy with the dongle connection to the computers USB, download the JBL Quantum app and you are at the starting gate. Click on the 7.1 channel set up and it will launch a video on how to configure the headphones with Windows.This is when the fun starts. Press test after configuration and you will hear the 7.1 surround test pattern swirling around your head.Very cool. It took a little while for my brain to adapt to the ambience that these headphone provide and doing so wirelessly! Footsteps, voices in various enviroments, shot gun blast, and explosions, drew me into the game.Soon the headphones disappered and the gaming expierence became more pronouced and involving. Even my old games that I played over a million times had a new lease on life. But wait theres more. Besides my music library in my computer, I also stream music. Now I can listen to music with these headphones without being tied down to the computer. In fact the distance from the computer was very very impressive. Did I like these? Absolutly killer for gaming and music! They have not left my head!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This HyperX - HyperX Cloud Stinger Core Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset for PC is awesome! It has soft foam ear cushions and a padded headband so it's much more comfortable than a lot of headsets. There's also onboard audio controls to make it so easy to use! The surround sound is incredibly crisp! AMAZING!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recommend the hypercritical cloud stinger core wireless 7.1 gaming headset. I play WOW on the PC. Besides the advantage of wireless, this headset has a clear voice transmission and the ear pieces are comfortable. The best feature by far is that when the mike is raised the headset automatically silences. I am happy with this headset.

[Stereo] Most gaming headsets are too heavy for me and they hurt my ears so I wanted an on ear headset that was wireless and not too heavy. I am really happy with this headset my head and neck don't hurt after playing for several hours in a row and the noise cancelling helps me to hear my husband better through the sounds of the game. These are amazing and I would encourage anyone like me who gets head and neck aches from normal bulky gaming headsets to give these a shot.

[Closed-Back] I usually don't buy gaming headsets, as the features are usually not that apealing to me. But I wanted at least one pair of wireless headphones, and figured these would be a good choice. A good choice they certainly were. They sound incredible and the build quality is insane. They are a bit heavy on your head, but I don't have any issues wearing them for a couple hour gaming session. I can't speak for the quality of the mic as I use a seperate USB mic, but it's certainly a nice to have if I need to take a call. I plan on using these when I work from home, so the Bluetooth and dongle versatility will come in handy.

[2 Hours] I have been through several gaming headsets for the PS5. I have finally landed on a pair that not only look and sound sleek, but do EXACTLY what I need. The digital AI noise cancellation works perfectly when eliminating background noise. But not only that, these cans have some amazing sound pumping through these magnetic drivers. No wonder Sony opted to buy Audeze. Connection to PS5 and PC is easy with the included usb-c adapter. Just make sure to pick the right source with the flick of a switch. You can update firmware and download custom EQs from the Audeze site, as well. Getting used to not using an app to make changes is a bit of a drag, but it’s worth it in the end to not have it. I have used ‘em all: Razer, SteelSeries, and Turtle Beach. Each have their own strengths but too many weaknesses. The Audeze Maxwell are just the perfect headset to add to your collection.

[48 MP] This is by far one of the best gaming headsets on the market. They are super comfortable for long hours of gameplay and excellent sound quality. I’ve been averaging 5-6 hr of gameplay without any sort of discomfort.

[Closed-Back] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I seen reports of JBL coming out with a line up of headsets at CES. I was extremely interested in seeing what JBL can bring to the audio gaming world. I love JBL’s sound signature, and I am so happy that they brought that signature to their Quantum line up of gaming headsets. At an affordable price JBL is giving you a lot with Quantum 400’s. The headphones feel very solid. They are plasticky but do not feel cheap. They are amazingly comfortable! I was able to wear them for long periods of time with only needing to take them off every so often. The braided USB type C was is a big thumbs up. The ear cups swivel 180 degrees and sit well around your shoulders when you take them off for a break in between matches. The mic I was told by other players online said they heard my voice good with little background noise. The microphone mutes when flipped up, which is very convenient. The audio sound quality is amazing. The directional audio is on point. Picking up other players on the map is the best I heard in a set of headphones. I have only used these on PC, so I cannot say how they sound on console. I can say the software is straight forward. Through the desktop app you have access to the spatial sound, microphone settings, the RGB lighting, and equalizer. You can also update the software through the desktop app. You can change lighting on the JBL emblem on the side of the ear cups. Which is cool if that is what you are into. Most importantly, you have DTS 2.0 and JBL Quantum Surround to choose from in the spatial audio. I am not too much into JBL’s Quantum Surround, but the DTS 2.0 just make these kick. The sound is tight in all gaming environments. Playing Red Dead 2 I could close my eyes and hear what was going on the world in the game. If you are looking for a good priced gaming headset that have a lot of big features. Pick these up!

[Black] I Bought because they came up under a search for wireless gaming headsets, sadly I had to return them because they were both of the sort, But Harman representative went above and beyond to help me find the Quantum 600 which meet all the criteria I was looking for.

[2] I got this for Christmas 2019 and they are the best!
