Hey guys, I am new to this forum. And I figured, hey since I am looking around to buy a new headset, why not ask here! So basically I saw the review on the Hyperx Cloud by linus, looked pretty nice. But I am wondering if that really is better for me in the long run. Usually I prefer over the ear (on ear hurts after 2 hours of gaming.. :/)

 

Really what I am looking for is just clear sound, I like to listen to songs as loud as possible sometimes just as much as the next guy. Don't care at all for bass enhancements... I would if the earpieces canceled noise out a bit. And if the mic didn't pick up noise from across my house lol. So what do you guys think? My budget is probably around 150. I am currently a user of logitech g930. Lasted me a while, but finally the earpieces are flaking, and the metal pieces are becoming weak and beginning to crack. So let me know what you guys might recommend. I also have to say no turtle beach because well... I simply hate them lol. I want to be able to hear my music full blast without the people I am talking to on skype call also hearing it lol.

 

 

Thanks so much, and I am glad to be apart of this great community!!

they make the best of the best but get STUDIO quality headsets only. the Sonys are in a tier of their own when it comes to doing accurate and rich sound tho

The HyperX Cloud is pretty good for what you get - definitely closer to headphones than most headsets.

PC Build in LTT Gallery - JBL J88 - Fostex T50RP (Modded) - Pioneer SE-A1000 vs audio-technica ATH-AD500X - Skullcandy Aviator  
audio-technica ATH-T400 - CHC Silverado and Laredo - Clip-On Headphone Roundup - Sony LinkBuds

Going closed for gaming isn't your best choice. 
Rolling with something like the HD518 and a modmic would 
turn out to be a better choice then using a closed studio monitor.

May not take away if its closed, but an open headphone adds too an experience.

Have you tried open backed headphones for gaming? 

 

It's like, playstation 1 is good for gaming, if you've never seen or played on playsttion 2 (and so on with 3 and 4)

I'd assume you don't have any experience using open backs then. Sound leaking in are a bit of overrated paranoia of open back headphones. Sounds leaking out is more of a problem than sounds leaking in, and even this is only applicable in a quiet environment (like gaming at 2 AM with a roommate sleeping, then yeah, that roommate is gonna give you hell)

Oh well, it's your choice and your experience. If you're good with closed back, then it's okay.
