Pros

Coects via USB-A, USB-C or 3.5 mm
Very accurate 3D mode
Head-tracking function for VR gamers

Cons

Very expensive

HyperX wants to play in the top league and launches the Cloud Orbit S, a gaming headset that amazes with its technology alone: it uses planar magnetic drivers that require an additional battery - even though the headset itself is wired. This membrane design ensures very differentiated bass and an overall immaculate sound. In combination with the 3D mode, you get a virtual surround headset that enables the exact localisation of sounds - a clear advantage in competitive gaming. The manufacturer allows you to coect in three different ways: USB-A, USB-C or 3.5 mm jack - all in the form of a detachable cable in each case.If you are looking for a headset for VR gaming, the Cloud Orbit S is also suitable for this, thanks to its head-tracking function. This is because you can freeze the audio source in its spatial orientation so that turning your head ensures that the system translates these movements realistically - as if you were sitting in front of the source. You can flexibly adjust the headband. Thanks to memory foam padding, the headset is very comfortable, even for longer sessions.

Xiaomi Buds 6 Review	3.7/5	Headphones and Earbuds	Xiaomi's open-fit Buds 6 pair Harman tuning and aptX Lossless with both Apple Find My and Google Find Hub, and finally make the format convincing — if you accept limited ANC and recessed bass.	View Review
Samsung Galaxy Buds4 Pro Review	4.9/5	Headphones	Samsung’s flagship buds entered the rankings 3rd of 119: wide, precise sound, 11 hrs 3 min measured single-charge stamina, IP57 and Bluetooth 6.1 with Auracast. No iOS app, no universal multipoint and ANC that concedes the frequency extremes are the catches.	View Review
Nothing Headphone (1) Review	4.63/5	Headphones	The Nothing Headphone (1) delivers exceptional value with KEF-tuned sound, effective ANC, and up to 80 hours battery life. Whilst the headband could be more luxurious, the physical controls, transparent design, and comprehensive features make it one of 2025's most exciting audio products.	View Review
Sony WH-1000XX The Collexion Review	4.6/5	Headphones	Sony’s luxury over-ears earned perfect comfort and build scores — the most comfortable in the test’s recent memory — with 36 hrs 51 min measured battery and a 15-minute charge yielding 14 hours. ANC that lets low frequencies through and a "very expensive" price verdict temper it.	View Review
