SeekerHyperX Cloud Alpha S
The HyperX Cloud Alpha S are decent for wired gaming. They're comfortable enough for long gaming sessions and their wired connection virtually eliminates worries of lag. Their boom microphone also does a good job of reproducing clear voices so you should have no problem being understood by your teammates. They have a unique bass slider for each ear cup, allowing you to adjust each ear independently, which can help immerse you in your gameplay. The rest of their audio controls are found on a detachable USB dongle.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha S offers a lot for its price, including a lightweight fit and handy inline controls. But its bass adjustment sliders are forgettable.

The Cloud Alpha S is a perfectly good headset, thanks to its quality stereo sound, but it's easy to get a better model for the same price.

The HyperX Cloud Alpha S is an excellent headset for both PC gaming and with the Xbox One X. If you mainly use a PS4 or Nintendo Switch, you'll still get great audio, but you won't be able to take advantage of the 7.1 CH virtual surround sound.
