[SeifSpeed]

Hello Guys,

 

Can you please help me decide the winner between these two headsets?

I don't really know the difference between 2.0 and 7.1 channels but to be honest I really like how the Strix looks.

 

Thanks in advance.

here you go

id say asus strix, the hyperx clouds are virtual 7.1 sound while the asus are true 7.1 sound, behind the ear cups there are 7 tiny drivers so it sounds pretty nice

[Kalevro]

also consider buying headphones and a mic separately

The strix doesn't have tiny drivers. Razer tried that with the Tiamat 7.1s and it was a failure. 

 

Never again.

Asus Strix Pro 

 

they look amazing

The hyperX by far. 7.1 surround is a gimmick and you should not pay any attention to it. If you want true surround then get open headphones and use the in game headphone mode. Asus is also not an audio company so it sounds absolutely shitty. The kingston is a rebrand of a Takstar headphone which actually sounds good.

That's the Strix 7.1

 

The OP is questioning the Strix Pro which is stereo, which has no 'tiny drivers' 

 

version is mentioned in the strawpoll. 

 

Pro = stereo

 

7.1 = tiny drivers.

Tiny drivers are dumb and do nothing.

 

Asus "audio" products are also dumb whether or not they have tiny drivers.

Clouds. Why is this even a question? Just based on looks alone the Clouds win. And when you get into sound quality, well the Asus has no ground to stand on. Clouds win hands down.

Hyperx Cloud II  is always best.

In my personal opinion. I think you should get a decent pair of headphones and a mod mic

The clouds are decent headphones.

The clouds are decent headphones, modded to include a mic.

 

FTFY

[the crunchiumo]

hyperx cloud its not even a close comparison

If you're going to buy a gaming headset, the HyperX Cloud is your best possible option.  I really dislike headsets, so I would recommend a separate pair of headphones + a modmic.
