Cloud 3 Wireless vs Cloud Alpha Wireless? (Upgrading from Cloud 2 / Disappointed with HS80)
Hey everyone!
I've used a wired Cloud 2 for 2 years, but it recently broke, so I decided to go wireless.
I bought a Corsair HS80, but testing it in CS2 just didn't work for me. The sound felt very "muffled" and closed off (like I was listening inside a shoebox). I tried tweaking the EQ and drivers, but nothing sounded right, so I returned it.
Now I'm looking back at the HyperX lineup since I loved my old Cloud 2, and I'm torn between:
- Cloud Alpha Wireless
- Cloud 3 Wireless
I've read several reviews and opinions, but I'm still unsure. My biggest fear is spending the money and regretting it again by getting another headset with that muffled/muddy "shoebox" sound. I was completely adapted to the Cloud 2 and want an experience as similar to it as possible, especially for clear footsteps in FPS.
Has anyone used either (or both) of these and can tell me which one avoids that closed-off effect the most and sounds closer to the Cloud 2? Thanks!
