Why does my 4 year old $25 headset sound 3 times better than his
@exorcist.orange May 23, 2026
Few months ago I bought an "Asus rog pelta", I wanted something cheaper It was around 150$ I fuking love it🙌🔥 Its confortable after many hours too, blocking out kinda every noise, not fuking up the top of my head, software usage is okay, and a microphone is much better than this 600$ shit🤣🤣

I have a $150 headset from that same line, the audio quality and directional audio optimization is what makes these worth the price point. I’ve had a $80 headset with a super nice sounding mic, but the audio quality was just good not anythingbsoecual

You are buying the headset for the sound, not the microphone, and even like that the mic difference is kinda crazy
@gnome12347 May 23, 2026
is the mic audio compressed or uncompressed?

Sounds like 20-30% better also i bet you can make it sound way better with filters in obs
@solace669 May 23, 2026
Sure the mic doesn't sound that much better but if you're using a headset mic and expecting any kind of quality you're doing it wrong.

Oh no I just realised my main headset is a steel series too I just have a separate mic so I never tested it lmao

And this is why I like my hyperX. It was 80 bucks. Hyperx cloud III. Gaming headsets are scam overall. No more than a hundred bucks ever should be spent. the microphones are pretty good. drive down the road 80 mph windows down nobody has a clue I left the house. same thing going 40 mph on my 25…

Was the second mic that good or the first mic that bad? I think the first one was trash.

Nothing will ever beat a cheap ass $20 mic or a $50 turtlebeach
