Our Verdict

HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II

Cooler Master MH751

The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are slightly better for wired gaming compared to the Cooler Master MH751. The HyperX have a more comfortable fit, superior build quality, and better microphone noise-handling capability. They also have a more comprehensive control scheme via an in-line remote on their analog-to-USB adapter. Meanwhile, the Cooler Master have a more expansive soundstage as well as a slightly more portable, compact design.

    Yes, you should be able to force both 1080p and 1440p @ 120 on this TV, but I can’t guarantee that it’ll work perfectly. We don’t have this TV anymore, so we’re unable to check this.

    I would check that the xbox series s actually has 120fps modes for the games your interest in as it doesn’t support all of the 120fps games like the xbox series x.

    I would check that the xbox series s actually has 120fps modes for the games your interest in as it doesn’t support all of the 120fps games like the xbox series x.

    Actually, in looking more into this, its more worth it to go with the Series X, as far as future proofing. The more and more I look into it just seems like the Series S is a huge bottleneck right now for developers. So good point with that.

    Only thing I’m iffy on his how its going to look forced to 1440p on that tv, but I guess ill find out!
