HyperX Cloud Alpha:
This is a great wired gaming headset that's comfortable and has some decent passive noise cancellation thanks to memory foam leatherette ear cushions. It has a lightweight design and a decent clamping force too, so it ticks a lot of boxes. With a dual-chamber setup and 50mm drivers this headset offers great sound and a decent value for money too.
