Pros & Cons
Pros
They're over the ear like the krakens but more comfortable & snug. The sound quality is amazing, comfort (even with glasses) is another outstanding feature. Only flaw is it’s a decently heavy headset, at least compared to my old one.
The cloud alpha has a better mic, but not as good as the cloud. The mic works very well and the style is very cool. The headset itself delivers really nice, crisp sound.
Cons
The mic seems to pick up literally everything, even the audio coming out of the headset itself. Also the connection to the xbox controller is not very good & finicky. They also say that they can hear my environnement way too much.
Highlights
Quality
The sound quality is amazing, comfort (even with glasses) is another outstanding feature.
Overall, the sennheiser's sounded amazing but would leave your ears & head hurting after just 5 mins.
The mic quality seems better than the cloud alpha, but i can't tell with regard to the sound quality.
Price
Bought this headset as it was on sale, it was a steal at the price i bought it for.
Competitiveness
10yr old got these with his bday money for his xbox s series.
My kid plays a lot of fortnite, he says he can hear footsteps his friends can't.
