SeekerHyperX Cloud Alpha
The HyperX Cloud Alpha are good wired gaming headphones. Their microphone has a good recording quality and does a great job of separating your voice from background noise. They're comfortable enough to wear for long gaming marathons but, unfortunately, have no software support for added customization options, unlike some of the more feature-packed gaming headsets that we've tested. They also aren't the most breathable so your ears may get a little warm after gaming for a while.
