I've used them, yes. Done a tear down even.

However, that doesn't change the measurable data or "specs". Putting them in quotes makes them not matter, right?

Sound playback is engineered. It has specifications. There are specifications better than others. The audio it produces is also measurable. That is fact, regardless of your personal opinion.

You can quote specs all day long and none of it really matters. What actually matters is how they actually sound. Specs may be important to nerds but actually hearing and using them is what matters more to the common folk. I mean it's great that you're super nerdy and you care about those things but not everyone cares about "measured specs" or any of that. Some of us just put the things on and use them for a while and decide what our ears and brain think of it. That's far more important. So they have "Inferior" specs. Inferior to what, compared to $1200 Sennheiser headphones? Inferior to other headsets in the same price range? Most people won't really care about any of that.

To me, with a nice DAC/Mixamp they sound flawless. And what's more important than any of that is how they feel. They mold to the head and become completely transparent after using them a while. The only time I even notice I'm using em is when I have to take em off and listen to the rest of the world again.

Bottom line: Specs are for nerds. Actual sound quality is subjective and everyone has different ears and different perceptions of sound quality.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

So the important question: Do you actually own a pair yourself? Have you actually used these yourself? Or are you just quoting "Specs" off of some random website?

Some people just do not care and it sounds good enoughunless you are going above an hd 660 into audeze 800-2000 line up 99% are not gonna care about the measurements thats also completely ignoring you can buy $200 headphones and a decent amp and have it make up for that stuff to some degree if the guy wants a gaming headset let him most of them are decent enough for every day users

just because a headphones specs are worse than others doesnt make the headphones bad
there are just better options available

That was my point. You can like them all you want, but there are better options available.

The audio measured data is a direct representation of how it sounds.

Inferior to exactly what I already stated, other options in the same price bracket.

"Specs are for nerd" oh please...

Liking it is fine, but it is fact that other options in the same price bracket are better.

And again, having EQ is NOT a replacement for a headphones shortcomings.

"Better" ... "Specs" .. "On paper" .. Yep, everything to you is related to paper specs and that's the only thing you think about when you consider headphones. The rest of us actually listen to them and ignore "Specs". I care about how they sound to -MY EARS-, not what the "paper specs" say they "should sound like". Regardless of what ever "Specs" you find in some random review by some random person, they will sound -COMPLETELY- different to you, to me, to everyone. Everyone hears them differently. Some how you can't seem to understand that.

You clearly don't understand what a frequency response is. It is not on paper specs. It is a measurement of the actual audio output. Audio is measurable.

You are free to like them. I already stated that. I do understand that you like them, but it is FACT that they are inferior to other options in the same price bracket.

There are console fanboys that stand by their console like it is the best thing ever... But does that actually mean it is better? No, it does not.

Something being the best is subjective, you need to learn to understand that.

Edit : *Best in terms of audio / mouse / 'console vs. pc' etc.

Hes actually right about stats you can clearly hear dips or muddiness i have ♥♥♥♥ hearing and still can but that doesnt matter not everyone cares or can hear it as good as other theres really no arguing gaming headset are super cheap headphones with a mic tacked on but some certainly sound better than other and id say for a gaming headset hyperx is waaaaaaay better than anything razer offers

HyperX headsets have some of the best quality I've seen.
Apart from a loose wire that I had to tape down to stop it rattling, they've lasted through almost anything I've done.
From throwing them, to years of wear and tear, which there has been none but the 'leather' on the headband peeling off.
The build quality on them is pretty brilliant, better than almost any other ''gaming''' headset out there. And even some '''''''''quality'''''''''' headsets.

Sure, they use '''lower quality''' drivers, but they're by no means trash, and provide quite a good sound, you can say ''''oh this real headset sounds much better blah blah''' but honestly, that's subjective; could sound sound perfect for one person, or trash to another.
It depends what the person LISTENING to something on them thinks of them.

I can't say I've had a problem with the audio on them. No muddiness in the sound, no anything, just alright.

The device itself
The individuals hearing ability

They use lower quality everything even headphones that you can buy for $100 more will come with much better padding parts and drivers than a $250 gaming headset its not like this isnt known dude if you like them cool keep using them but dont act like gaming headaets hold a flame to a real set of headphones and not $75 beats or something

HyperX Cloud II's are currently $60~$75 brand new. For < $100 headphones (headset or otherwise), they're really good in that price bracket.

But my old headphones, which are 80 dollars cheaper, don't share this issue. Main reason I wanted an upgrade was because these ones have a different issue unrelated to overall sound quality.

It's a good headset. Ignore people who say they're trash and say others in the same price bracket are better without actually listing those other headphones and proving it.

Could you send a link?

if that was for me then i actually have no idea which sound cards are good or which ones are bad
your gonna have to do some research or someone with a better knowledge of sound can help you out with this one
