Difference between HyperX Cloud 1 & 2?

Yep. Need some 70-100 dollar headphones and these 2 caught my eye. What the big difference that makes spending another 30 dollars on headphones worth it?

You get an in-line sound card that gives the headphones "virtual surround" with the Cloud 2. Not worth anything imo. First ones are just fine.

The 2 are slightly redesigned and come with a USB 7.1 surround sound emulator.

The cables and the usb dongle. 

 

Cloud 1 has separate headphone and mic cables and no usb dongle

Cloud 2 has one cable for headphone and mic and usb dongle. It also comes with an adapter to split that one cable into two so you can use is with a regular soundcard

 

If you really want to know, look at the reviews/unboxings on youtube. I think HardwareCanucks shows the differences between the two. JayzTwoCents also does a good job of talking about the differences
