Edit: HyperX Cloud 2 wired, not the wireless. also its 5k in INR

Tldr: high treble in these headphones make my ears hurt. Is it fixable? if not, suggest better wired under 5k with a good mic (dealbreaker if not). Open to wireless too, just that their mics usually suck at that (5k inr) price point.

so been using neckbands/buds for a while and decided to get a proper over ear headphone. HyperX Cloud 2 were available for 5k in the amazon sale, and so decided to give it a try. Received them a couple days ago and i like them kinda.

They don't irritate my ears like the earbuds/neckbands do, but oh boy that high pitch treble is making my ears bleed.

The mic is surprisingly very good, much better than any price other in the in ear ones.

also nice that it comes with a detachable mic, and I like its comfort.

My use case is using it as a secondary headphone when i am on PC and some discord/meet calls for the mic, but that bad performance when using it for listening to music is very much a dealbreaker, especially for the 5K i paid it. Like my cheap 1.2k realme buds wireless 3 neo sounds so much better. Clearer vocals, nice bass, with just enough treble, compared to HyperX's high bass, high treble, and muffled vocals. Such a strange issue cuz I loved playing games (witcher 3, chivalry 2) on it. And then there's the excellent mic on it (ofc nothing compared to the more expensive mic setups, but amazing for a headphone with a mic)

Can't find any headphone that fulfills my criteria of jack of all trades (like my neckband realme buds wireless 3 neo) with a good mic too. I would have just kept it as it is, if not for the high treble making my ears hurt. So split, cuz its an amazing package, just that the few issues it has make it a dealbreaker.

Also, would love a good wired headphone with a nice mic for calls, under 5k. Wireless is my preference ofc, but am aware i wouldn't get one in this budget, and that with a nice microphone too. Jlabs jubs luc anc has been on my radar, but the mic is mostly shit.

so yeah, pls tell if i should keep it or not with fixes for the high treble. If not, would love a nice wired over ear headphone rec, under 5k.

I got my brother a refurbished yoga 2 in 1. I have it with me for about a month before he joins college. It has intel i7 1360p, oled screen and a decent iGPU. But the higher idle temps and the poor battery life were bothering me. I disabled hyperthreading in the bios and now the temps have dropped 7-10 degrees celcius and the battery life has significantly increased by more than 60 percent.

I know it will prolly affect the performance, but the laptop is mostly used for productivity tasks by my brother and so i doubt it wil affect him. The biggest issue was it frequently used to shoot to 15W when i opened any app, even with the turbo boost disabled. Now that does not occur at all, and there is no visible speed difference in the app opening time.

It worked for me so thought of sharing it, if it may help anyone :P
