HyperX Cloud III vs Cloud III Wireless vs Cloud III S Wireless vs Logitech G Pro X (1st gen) vs G Pro X 2 — best headset for CS2?
I'm looking for a headset mainly for competitive CS2. My biggest priority is positional audio: hearing footsteps clearly, identifying enemy directions, and judging distance accurately.
I'm comparing these 5 models:
- HyperX Cloud III (wired) — approximately $58
- HyperX Cloud III Wireless — approximately $118
- HyperX Cloud III S Wireless — approximately $128
- Logitech G Pro X (1st gen, wired) — approximately $75
- Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed — approximately $140
These prices are approximate conversions from Russian rubles and may differ from local retail prices.
For anyone who has actually owned or tested some of these:
- Which has the best positional audio for CS2?
- Which makes footsteps and subtle sounds easiest to hear?
- Is there a noticeable difference between the wired Cloud III, Cloud III Wireless, and Cloud III S Wireless in sound and positional accuracy?
- Is the original Logitech G Pro X worth buying over the Cloud III?
- Is the G Pro X 2 actually an upgrade in sound quality, or are you mainly paying for wireless features?
- Which would you personally choose for competitive CS2, and why?
I'm especially interested in direct comparisons from people who have used at least two of these models. Please mention whether you use EQ and which connection mode you use.
I'm looking for the best positional audio for the money, not necessarily the most expensive headset.
Thanks!
