Posted January 8, 2015 What would be the best solution? I'm currently looking at the HyperX Cloud or maybe the HyperX Cloud II when it comes out. Any better headset or headphone/addon mic combo? EDIT: I will mainly be using these for gaming, with the occasional music. I don't care for surround sound, but I'll take it if it's there. The mic will be only used for Skype calls and in game chat.

Posted January 8, 2015 The competitor to the cloud is corsairs 1500, I owned the original and it was super comfortable and sound was decent. +optional 7.1 virtual surround, revision 3 My original corsair 1500s have lasted for over 2 years, and my friend currently uses them for his daily driver, they outlived their warranty. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826816036 Pro's Great Warranty Decent software Surround Sound Good build quality New corsair logo and colors Decent mic quality, from my experience. Cons No detachable mic or cable Not very portable No carrying case Usb connection New corsair logo and colors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 8, 2015 Have any recommendations for headphone and mic combo? Sennheiser HD518 with a zalman clip on unless you need isolation which then I would recommend Sony MDR7506 and the zalman clip on. My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
