i see you like snake oil.

 

two reasons why 7.1 headsets are BS:

- you have two ears, how many speakers do you need?

- in a 7.1 setup you need two center placed speakers, or since you cant have center speakers 5 speakers per earcup, which makes them either use tiny drivers, or weight a metric ton

Spoiler

explanation for the 5 speakers per side:

- front L/R

- side L/R

- back L/R

- center (but since you cant have center, one per earcup)

- subwoofer (but since you cant have just one, one per earcup)

 

rant aside..

i still love my hyperx cloud.. looks like the hyperx cloudx is its most alike modern replacement.

EDIT: correction.. they made a refresh of the cloud.. go for that one.

What are your opinions about the Logitech g933s at the same price as the cloud II?

my opinion is i've never used those, so i cant say anything about them.

 

that aside, from the imagery it seems like a typical logitech G product: built well, typical logitech flaws, and a price to match.
