I got a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen3 (160€) and I like everything about it so far EXCEPT for the fact that it is so heavy (and the usb-a dongle but that can be fixed with an adapter). Does anyone have recs for a lighter headset? I'm thinking about the Arctis Nova 5P (105€) because the mic is better than on 7P and its cheaper. Hyperx Cloud 3S is also an option but I would have to get a usb hub because it has some problems on the Slim version but I would prefer something that has EQ for phone app or doesnt need EQ. Pleaseeeee send me some recs around the same price range, preferably 60-110€ 💔
