Audeze Mobius vs HyperX Cloud Orbit S - Aren't they just the same?
348Another comparison video, but as weird one this time as I'm essentially comparing the same device because the HyperX Cloud Orbit S is based on and uses the same technology as the Audeze Mobius.
There are some differences though. One of which is quite a substantial price tag difference. Do the other differences make the extra money worth it?
Watch to find out!
I've unboxed and reviewed both these devices separately too, so be sure to check those videos out!

Highlights to this gaming headset include:
Multiple connection options with:
Long braided USB to USB-C (3 metre)
Short USB-C to USB-C cable for phones (1.5 metre)
3.5mm cable (1.2 metre)
Deep, plush, comfortable ear cushions apparently made from Contoured Memory Foam. Ridiculously DEEP. Block some external noise, but not all.
Various sound profiles:
Flat, Default, foot steps, ballistics, music, racing, rpg, warm
Really nuts bass and audio range
3D sound with head tracking is fairly trippy. If you have an ultra-wide monitor with video playing down in one corner, then you'll only hear sound in the left most earcup. Similarly, turn your head to speak to someone in the room and you'll only hear sound from the ear close to the monitor.
