"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."
"Been using them for about four years working out in my gym, and cycling daily (45+ minutes on a bicycle outdoors)."
"They last absolutely forever (I know 1980s models still in daily use)"

"I have the ear shape where in-ear headphones always make a loud bumping sound when I'm moving, so AirPods 4 give the benefits of noise cancelling and great sound without the in-ear effect. ... AirPods 3 always fell out my left ear but they dialed in the size perfect for the 4's, they sit perfect and I've never had it fall out or shake loose doing sprints and a full marathon."
"Took them on a 2hr walk with my dog today and had no issues. First IEMs I can actually wear laying on my side in bed."
"after 80+ miles on our last trip, I was the only one without foot problems of any kind."

"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. I played Valorant on PS5, xDefiant and Warzone. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"For gaming, these are perfect. ... As a valorant immortal, tier 2 and premier player, I can confidently say that the imaging and soundstage are spot-on. ... Footsteps, directional cues, and in-game sounds are incredibly precise and natural, giving a competitive edge without any unnecessary bass/treble bloat."
"directional audio is amazing can hear all the opponents"

"You can use them for music also because the mic is detachable."

"About a year and the right bud would last about 15 minutes on a full charge."
"I've had them for a few years and now the battery doesn't last for more than 40 mins, so looking for a different model."
"And then during a race in September the mid sole of one pulled right off with less than 200 km on them."

"I'm now on my 3rd pair of PBP2 under warranty (probably have at least another) since they have the fatal mic failure flaw that will always appear a few months in. ... There should be a Class Action on this BS. ... Most seem to have mic failures for RMA's. ... I REALLY hope I'm on my last exchange but I just don't have a lot of hope. I really feel all of these have this issue eventually and a lot of people just aren't sensitive to it. ... Unless your ears produce no oil, no wax, no sweat, I can't see it never happening. ... The first pair lasted 3 months. For the second I kept the buds and my own ears as clean as I could. This made them last 7 months before the issue. ... For this pair I'm just going to use them as the first but keep them clean but not overboard like last time. It's not worth it to me if they will fail anyway..."
"the mics are trash! ... No one hears me well, wind kills my voice, it hears what is around me than myself."
"The right bud is hissing every now and then"

BladeOfSmoke 1.0Understandable, in that case the next best thing in my opinion is the HyperX CloudX, a wired headset that was made for and licensed by Xbox. Currently on sale for $40, the combination of the build-quality, comfort, audio, and mic, I don’t think you can do much better for the price. The aforementioned discount code and free shipping also applies to this headset, getting it down to $36 before sales tax. The discount code at checkout is “GAMING10” Link: https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-xbox
Im_Kreation 0.2I have a pair of Logitech astros now with a mix amp. But before when I was on more of a budget I bought the hyper cloud x and I don’t have any complaints
mo-par 0.1I like the hyperx cloudx
SinfulDaMasta 0.1HyperX CloudX. I’ve been using the same pair for 2+ years, so when it was on sale recently I bought a spare. Very comfortable, I’ve worn it frequently for 2-5 hours consecutively. Feels higher quality than the Turtle Beaches I used to have + sturdier material.
cha0sweaver 0.0Wired Hyperx, because EVERY BT buds are waking up my Deck randomly.
Equivalent_Being_869 0.0Hyper x. Are pretty decent, had mine for around 3 years, no sign of wear and tear, still crispy clean audio, they are wired. The included mic was ok, but I disconnected it as I have a blue yeti. Would recommend
Hyperx are great! Have been using some daily for 3 years, still perfect!
Bapposaurus 0.0Wish i still had my kingston hyperx, they sadly died, but are still my favourite headset I've ever had
nyafff 0.0I like Kingston HyperX ive had mine for years and the sound is really crisp - not sure the price now but mine was $130 AUD
Yeah and Ive had comments from folk in game about my mic too, they thought I had a pro setup but was just these headphones. They’re really big so they don’t squish my glasses into my head either haha
Psudodrake 0.0Neither. Look for the Kingston Hyper X or X2 Works with PC, XBOX, and Playstation. Utilizes Avionics headsets for noise cancelation. Are soft, use USB connection, you want wired, good mic that can be replaceable, has 7.1 surround sound. The X2 can literally be used with an airplanes' avionics suite. Cost about $100 less than what you're eyeballing there...
Accomplished_Panda11 0.0In my experience the hyperx cloud headset is one of the best options for the price just don't lose the detachable mic
