How are gaming headphones different from regular full-size models? Firstly, most often they have an aggressive appearance, which gamers really like. Secondly, they are designed not for music, but for positioning in games. Thirdly, they have an external microphone, thanks to which teammates hear you clearly and clearly. And these headsets also produce excellent low frequencies - this is especially noticeable when listening to shots and explosions. In a word, let's get acquainted with the best HyperX headphones, which all of the above applies to.

Best Cheap HyperX Headphones

HyperX Cloud Stinger - Budget Option

Relatively inexpensive headphones. Even many keyboards and, to be honest, mice are sold at a higher price. In this regard, you should not expect chic performance and the purest sound from headphones. This is a standard closed-type computer headset that connects using two 3.5 mm jacks. The microphone used here received the noise reduction function - and thanks for that. By the way, the manufacturer claims that these headphones will also pull many mobile devices.

The 5 Best Harper Headphones

The second generation of the most popular headphones under the HyperX brand. When designing it, Kingston worked hard to eliminate the shortcomings. Now sound processing is assigned to special software, thanks to which the surround sound mode was implemented.
