Cloud 1 or Cloud 2?

[technocrat_13]

My current headset, the Cooler Master Sirus-c recently started giving me issues. So i ventured out to find the perfect headset for my needs, and I found them:-

          The HyperX Cloud II 

But, on reading reviews and talking to people who own the headset they said that the 7.1 surround card is shit, and it was a bad inclusion. They said that Kingston should just get rid of the sound card. But Kingston already had, with the OG Clouds. But then the problem arose that no Surround sound. I need surround sound for extra immersion and CS:GO, So i found a trusty little USB sound card, The Roccat Juke. 

So, I reach out to you guys asking weather this solution is good (Cloud 1 with Juke), or the sound card is not that bad on the Cloud 2, Or is their another headset that can fill my desire?

Price range about 80$-120$ also all my shopping is done on http://www.amazon.in/

I am sorry this is off topic but if you install the "Cloud to butt" extension and read this post it makes me have a little giggle.

Lmao, Just searched up the extension. But do you have any reply to solve my dilemma?

I have the Cloud 1, and I love it. But, I'm pretty sure the differences between the models are pretty minimal. The only significant difference is that the Cloud 2 comes with a virtual 7.1 USB sound dongle.

The surround is Virtual, all software. CSGO has surround even on Apple earbuds. If you want the cloud 2's without the soundcard, get the /Cloud c/ores, Cloud 2's without the sound card basically. I get the same immersion with mine as people with Cloud 2's get.

What about Software like Razer Surround? The demo version did help with CS, But i could not notice a difference with other games.

i have the "Butt" II's  they are pretty nice headphones no software really needed with them. And they have great surround sound

i'd honestly just suggest the cloud 1's, mostly because they're cheaper and all standard TRS 3.5mm
