What customers say about "Key Specs"
HyperX Cloud Flight Gaming Headset
  • Big bonus points for the fact that the mic is detachable.
  • Headphones free from annoying cords. And have detachable microphone.
  • As I don't need mic, I happy that I can detach it and concentrate on gameplay.
  • I like detachable mic so it is not in my face if I am not talking and the flexibility of it so I can make fine adjustments if I need to.
  • You may not like detachable mic option if you are prone to losing small objects.
SteelSeries Arctis 7 (2019 Edition) Lossless Wireless Gaming Headset with DTS
  • I live with my friend, and we both spend hours playing games like Overwatch. I can have these headphones on, and barely hear him talk.
  • With music, a game, or perhaps recording music, you're hardly going to be distracted from outside noises.
  • Great noise-cancelling ability. It's not advertised as noise-canceling but perform it well.
  • The headband is made out of "sheet metal" and an adjustable strap.
  • It fits my head nicely, and has some room for adjustment but not much, but still perfect for me.
