Logitech G230 Vs. Kingston HyperX Cloud Microphone quality

[ebhsimon]

 

I currently use the G230, and it sounds okay. It's not bad, but it's not good. The mic is also just okay. I use my mic a lot when I record BF3 and during calls. 

The main thing I want to improve is better microphone quality, then sound, then comfort.

Would the HyperX Cloud be a logical upgrade to my G230s (which are a little uncomfortable to be honest)? 

 

Or should I just get the $30 Samson go mic and continue using my G230s?

I won both of those headsets haha, Would you like me to record a couple tests?

G230 probably beats it. I could probably test both but I gave away my G230 last week, lolol

Proof that I own the headsets btw, the mics sound very similar haha.

Schiit that was fast, thanks man. That AT4040 mic sounds pretty amazing, but also costs a bunch too. 

The HyperXCloud is louder and sounds like it registers the deeper parts of your voice better than the G230s. 

How do the cans sound when you compare them BoltActionWaffle?

Not even a competition for sound quality haha, same story with build quality imo. I've got a full review on Clouds, link in my signature if you're interested.

How would you compare the headphones aspect? Do the HyperX Clouds have more bass, less bass, bigger/smaller soundstage, more/less distinguishable highs? My G230s I feel are a bit bass heavy, and while I do love the bass, the highs feel a bit recessed and less pronounced than what I would like.
