Hyper X Cloud. My Sensei and Rival broke despite no physical wear and the Siberia V2 is just a meh headset imo. My friend has the A40's and he's had nothing but problems with them (specifically the mic) so i can't vouch for them either.

I'm into headphones and have amassed a number of mid-tier to flagship cans. I still use my HyperX Cloud for gaming sometimes, very good price/performance but not only that, it has excellent sound reproduction.....for a pair of close cans. Having played games with LCD2.2, AKG K812 and HD800, I still find the HX Cloud to be pretty decent. Astro's are overrated, heard them and not impressed at all considering the price, You'd be better served with a Sennheiser HD558/Audio Technica ATH-AD700X (open cans) or Audio Technica M40X (close) + mod mic combo (if you need a mic that is). I can't comment about Siberia head gear though, I've never gotten one. BTW, shouldn't this be in the Audio section?

Ummmm... no this is in the peripheral section lol. We are talking about headsets and you mentioned you use your clouds for gaming SOMETIMES. What does the sometimes mean? Do you use another headset for gaming?

I use it sometimes because I have a good variety of actual mid tier can like (Beyerdynamic DT990/600, HiFiMan HE400i, Audio Technica ATH-AD2000, Senn HD700) to high end cans (Senn HD800, AKG K812, LCD2.2). With these great cans to game with, IF the HX Cloud were crap, I'd have dump it already, but I'm still using it, it's hooked up to my Asus Xonar Phoebus, unlike my headphones which uses a dac/amp stack.
