Upgrade from Hyper X Cloud Gaming Headset

[Fluffinator]

Ok I am looking for headphones that never leave my desk, but I do like noise cancelling.

Well, noise cancelling is good but it won't be as comfortable and sound as natural as a true open headphone, and if your going to be at home anyway might as well go with open. I personally can't stand using my ATH-M50x's at my home because I can't hear my phone ringing or my surroundings and it makes me feel like my ears are clogged, don't know how to describe it so I only use those when I'm on a airplane or in public where I don't want my sound to bleed and others to hear what I'm listening to.

You could look at Seinheiser's offerings like the HD558.

 

Oh yeah, superlux have some good stuff.

Like there HD681.

these are nice too.

Yeah when you are gonna use them only at home or at lan's whatever then I'd go with open too

But like Fluffinator said they can get pretty "fatiguing":D

Astros would be a downgrade.

Have you had Astros? Top of the line for headsets.

Yes. My brother uses the A50 and it sounds bad.

I wouldn't go that far..

You're not going to find an upgrade from the Clouds with only $120.

Sennheiser HD518 or Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X

Yes. My brother uses the A50 and it sounds bad.

Have you used the AMP to fix that?

Have you used the AMP to fix that?

The amp is similarly a joke.

Honestly what is the hype about these, I just got the a40's with the mixamp and i'm just about to take them back, they don't even sound good, and the top of the headset has hardly any cushion.

Yes. When I say it sounds bad, I mean it sounds bad for what you're paying for it. My Sennheiser HD280's sound way better.

People don't know any better.
