So I've been running a pair of hyperx cloud (og) headphones since they came out, the comfort, decent audio quality, and good mic combo, along with the price, made them the only choice for me and my setup.

 

I've since taken up streaming, and as a result of that have upgraded a lot of my setup, most recently being the change to a dedicated microphone. This removes the "good mic" benefit of the clouds, and I think now it's time to upgrade to something else.

 

My budget is limitted, I can't afford $300 on a nice brand new pair of sennheisers or ATs. However, Ebay is my best friend, and I know how to work the site for good prices, I just need to know *what* I should be searching for.

 

Currently all I've been doing is checking online reviews and pricing to get a sense of what is a good deal, but I don't exactly know what to upgrade to (or if I even should at all), and was looking for some recommendations.

 

Priority (in order) is

 

Comfort

Sound quality

Aesthetics

 

Comfort for long sessions of wear, good sound quality (why else upgrade?) and hopefully some nice looks are ideal.

 

If there is anything pink thats good that'd be a bonus.

If you loved your HyperX Cloud headset why not go for the Hyper X Cloud II headset or the Alpha's?

I haven't been keeping up to date on hyperxs products, the last I heard was when the IIs were released, and most of the reviews I saw put them as worse than the original clouds, if theyre better ill check them out ( i think they make a pink version!) but I'd need to look into it some more.
