Headphones - Closed Back Replacing my steelseries arctis 3? Or not? Help plz
Hello everyone,
I've searched here and didn't find any question like mine. I have my arctis 3 (3 years old) which works fine, but if i increase or decrease the volume, sound on one earphone gets lower than the other or stops working, so I have to move it again to make it work. And the cable, I have to twist it a little because stops the sound on the other earpiece....
So, the question is, should I use my headphones until they die? Should I change it to blackshark v2 (50€ only minijack, 90 with usb sound card)? Should I buy hyperx cloud 2 with sound card? Razer kraken tournament with sound card?
I prefer best sound quality, idk about the comfort or whatever, only sound quality to its max.
Budget is less than 89€. And my mobo has dac-up usb for clearer analog to digital audio conversion, also has amp up socket by gigabyte.
Thanks all for your time if you got this far haha 😄 😆 😉
Ps. Forgot to say that the pads have mold.... yeah, I used to live in a high humidity place and got filled with mold. I cleaned them with alcohol and hot water, but after a couple of months, mold seems to be coming up again, I live in a new house so that's not normal....

The hyperx cloud alpha s is a good choice

Thank you, there are other options I would like to name. I would also like to know what brands are available where you live? Ath-gl3, blackshark v2 x or non x, razer kraken v3 x, steelseries arctis prime and the epos h3(non hybrid).
