  1. Just adding my few days of experience with HyperX Cloud 3S Wireless. After using them for like 3-4 days, I’ve started to notice a distorted sound at times on high tones. Do you remember the kind of sound old speakers made when a phone was calling near them? The distortion sounded something like this mixed with the audio, a robotic, glitchy noise. I’ll be returning them on Monday. Now I’m back at the research stage and I’m pissed off because had I known about this issue, I wouldn’t have wasted my time on HyperX.

  2. I tried the Arctic Nova pro and it sucked. Not only did it not have anc, it felt like it was working against me. But honestly it wouldn’t have been the biggest problem, my pc is quiet and k can isolate outside sound pretty well, but the sound had not changed from my old, worn out Arctic 7.

    I finally went to a hifi store and asked, and they recommended the audeze, despite not having them in stock anymore. I have now ordered it, and expect a lot higher quality here.
