Which headset should I purchase?

Recently I have been told that whenever I use my microphone that is attached to my headset, I am too quiet. My friends and teammates are unable to hear me, especially in those crucial times where information has to be told to everyone. A microphone is as important as the audio that goes through them. Currently, I have a wireless headset with superb audio quality, and wireless, so I am able to use it more conveniently, but as I said, the mic is not as good.

Now I am tasked with purchasing a new headset. When comparing the two, I have to analyze whether I still prefer the wireless one with a little upgrade on the mic or a wired one with possibly worse audio quality but with a well-designed microphone.

The first product I have in mind is the Wireless HyperX Cloud III. 



This headset has an okay mic attached to it, good battery life, and it is wireless, meaning the convenience is still here. I am able to walk around my room, not get tangled up with the wires, and still have the ability to speak through it. What I am worried about is the slight improvement in the microphone department. Would it be enough? Or could it be just enough where it is justifiable to purchase it?

The other pair I am considering is the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro. 




This pair emphasizes audio quality and microphone quality at the expense of having no wireless features. As said before, the microphone quality is one that is above standard, and the price of it definitely speaks for the quality. It is almost 3 times the price of the HyperX Cloud III. Is the price worth the upgrade quality but no wireless freedom?

As the comparison goes to its final stages, it has to be time to make a decision. When using my benchmarks and needs, it does seem like the Wireless HyperX Cloud III clears this debate. Just having the wireless feature with slight upgrades makes it all the more worth it. It is also at a lesser price, meaning that I would not expect that much from it, but it also means that my expectations can be accomplished if they are lower.

For Aspiring Gamers

This post is for the aspiring gamers that might feel like they have hit a wall or just have the feeling of giving up. You are not just "playing games." You are using games to build your discipline, focus, and using your passion to accomplish something. I have been in those similar situations where I feel like I have wasted my time. Staying up late, frustrating losses, and even doubt. With grinding comes hardship, and moments like this where it seems like no one gets it, or it feels impossible. But what you are doing is real, the passion you have is real, and hopefully the determination you have is real. Gaming for me has not only taught me about myself, but it has taught me how to lose with grace, how to pick myself up after losing and focus on bettering myself, and also to show up with purpose. Gaming has taken me around the world, literally. Because when you overcome those doubtful thoughts, gaming can open up doors for you—scholarships, potential opportunities for conten...

What If You Had to Pay to Watch Esports?

 Esports started and grew with the idea of accessibility, online and free . In traditional sports such as football or basketball, to view these games in person or even online with a streaming service costs money. So, the hypothetical question that lies here is, what if you had to pay to watch esports? If esports moved behind a paywall, would it have a positive or negative effect on the overall industry? Well, for starters, it could help transition esports to a more mainstream concept, in the same realm as traditional sports. It could also seriously generate income for the sport and even have more financial investors for not only the players but the investors too. Events themselves could also have an evolution, upgrading the amount of funding they can receive, leading to more global, polished, or even prestigious events. While this does sound good, it may come with some concerns. It could sway away popularity of esports if more fees and paywalls began to be introduced to esports. Th...
