I mean the best gaming headset you can get right now under 100 is mh751 or mh752. I have the 751 and they are perfect. I’ve never had a headset that has done that with my voice but honestly I the only thing I can think of is maybe you’re talking too loud (I know that’s an incredibly stupid thing to say but still). But yeah basically mh751

Right ear cushion has become loose and therefore completely lost audio on the right side. I know 751/752 are top tier suggestion in this subreddit, just like 1 year ago when i started browsing, but tbh as fine as the headset works to completely break after one year is trash in my book. And if you read through some history in this subreddit there are a lot of people having issues with it

Sorry everyone. I am really horrible at describing the sound and am very new to this hobby. I spent more time with the XS and the Arya Stealth. The XS seemed a bit warmer to me and the price made it worth it! The HE 1000Unveiled was beautiful sounding. Not as flat as the SE, it felt like it had a little more color in the tuning. That Unveiled would be my dream cans. I loved the Arya Organic too. They sounded huge! It felt like I was in a concert hall and could point out exactly where each instrument was coming from. Depth!, the bass was a little lacking, but it was clean. The Susvara had the best separation. Even better than the Organics to my ears. But they also felt distant, especially vocals. They were detailed. I hope this doesn’t make me sound like a dumbass. LOL. I think my next step up will be the organics.

Sundara: 3x (L driver failure, R driver failure, headband faulty) Edition XS: 3x (L driver faulty, faulty headband, damaged grills) Ananda Stealth: was fine but sold Arya Stealth: has been great, def seems to have higher QC. I'm stopping at Arya Stealth. I think the lower models have really crappy QC and Hifiman doesn't care. It's prob cheaper to keep the corners cut like they are and replace them than to invest in better QC. You get what you pay for. Unfortunately with Hifiman they sound levels ahead of their price point, but build quality is shit. I've had probably 10 Sennheisers over the years and never had a single issue.
