HyperX Cloud Vs SteelSeries Siberia V2

[ScientificABubble]

Hi, I'am in to competitive gaming and I was just wondering which headset would be better for gaming hearing footstep, communicating with my team etc?

Cloud, because made by a real audio company.

I prefer the Cloud

get these Superlux HD668B & Zalman ZMMIC1 it will be cheaper and probably a better sound quality 

but between those 2 the cloud is better

Get the Clouds.

My ModMic 4.0 that I'm returning tomorrow may in fact sound worse than the mic on my Turtle Beach x12 headset I used previously, I highly doubt that Zalman clip on will sound any better.

Best headphones for for hearing footsteps and the like are the Audio Technica AD700x or AD900x. Between the two options you presented the Cloud's are easily the choice. The V2s are not that great in terms of quality, and they also experience lots of problems with onboard sound.

I own Siberia v2s and I think the mic quality is shit. Horrible imho. The sound quality is okay. I don't recommend them.

ModMic isn't known for being a quality mic, it's just branding and the attaching feature that people like + the windshield. The Zalman is fine as long as you run it on a push-to-talk setting. Very clear.

 

And @ OP - Either works fine, but at just a 4 quid price difference the HyperX Clouds are better. Normally it's $20 more so there'd be a reason to consider the Siberia. But here there's only one choice for you.
