May I suggest the Steel Series 5HV3? I use them as my daily drivers. They are analog, so no drivers, really nice ear cups and the audio is really outstanding for a "gaming" headset.

HyperX Cloud 2, Siberias are terrible...my personal opinion, "gaming headsets" are all around terrible. But if you must choose, get the HyperX Cloud 2

Cloud 2  

[blackadder]

Clouds, i love mine.

[cpuguy]

Cloud 2 I love them

Does its 7.1 surround work?

[ShearMe]

HyperX cloud is built like a real headphone, and sounds like one too.

[lancelot]

Here in my country they don't sell Cloud 2 so i gues i will go with Cloud.

[Guest]

Does its 7.1 surround work?

 

Sure, but no point.

[Tony.C]

I personally recommend the Cloud1's. You can get the Cloud2's if you want the virtual surround sound, but thats not worth it for an additional 20 bucks in my opinion.

 

I am now currently using the Cloud1's and my previous headsets were the Steelseries V2's. The Clouds are amazing for 70 bucks on sale. This is the same price as the Steelseries V2's, but the Clouds are just so much more comfortable with real leather. The aesthetics on the clouds are also much better than the v2 and v3 with brushed aluminum. The mic on the Clouds are also detachable and are way better than the mic on the v2's. The noise cancellation on the Clouds are definitely a lot better than v2's. The clouds come with a lot more extras such as a carrying bag, airplane adaptor, and cloth for the earcups. 

 

The Clouds are honestly the best bang for the buck headset around especially when they are on sale. I am honestly so impressed with them. There definitely are better headphones out there with better sound quality for the audiophiles, but I am sure they would even agree that the Clouds are superb and comfortable for gaming.

The Hyper X are sick...but for $43 you can get same exact cans without mic.

 

Gemini HSR 1000. I paid 43 bones.

[almoskosz]

Even though i have Steelseries, I'd buy the Cloud. 

My friend has the Cloud and i tried it for a few hours, i have to say, it's not that comfortable, and it doesn't cover as good, nor has it as good bass as the Steelseries.

In other respects, it's better than the Steelseries ^^

i got my Could cause my G230 broke so at 1st i thought im reading my thread

but i would recommend Cloud II (has virtual 7.1 surround) i know a few guys who had their Siberia V2's die in the 3rd month of use 

the cloud is a smaller headset then the G230 but still my big head fits

[ADZ_123_!"£]

Is the cloud's 2 worth it just for the virtual 7.1 or should I just go for the cloud 1?

[ShearMe]

Is the cloud's 2 worth it just for the virtual 7.1 or should I just go for the cloud 1?

 

No, the USB dongle that comes with the II is reportedly pretty crap. Razer Surround can make any headphone "7.1" Also, 7.1 Headphones?

[Zah]

I used 2 Siberia v2s.  While comfy, the mic can break easily, and the bass is too powerful.

 

Get the Clouds.  If you want the Cloud II, I think they're on sale.  Just don't use the surround shit.

[ADZ_123_!"£]

So no point wasting an extra £20 on the cloud 2's I should just go for the original clouds.

Hello guys i bought HyperXCloud and the headset came today and it's really good so far, but i heared that they feel the best when you can power them so i guess my pc have enought power to power them on full? One more thing ATM i am using Realtek High Definition Audio should I switch so some other driver ?

One more thing do they have some kind of software that i should install ?

No

You might like Razer Surround for say, Battlefield. I wouldn't use it for music listening though. It's free, so give it a shot to see if you like it or not.

[Abuser]

I own the steel series siberia v2s and I do NOT recommend them. They do have nice audio quality but the mic is horrible. I don't think it's worth the money.

[simson0606]

the clouds, my experience with steelseries headsets isn't anything to write home about.

[zerge]

I would advise you to buy HyperX Cloud or QPAD QH-90 depending on what's cheapest (same headset, different branding) over the the Steelseries headphones. First of all, the HyperX headphones are built better and feels solid, and the sound is crystal clear and the bass is punchy. And secondly, it does have bigger drivers.

 

Also, I should mention that Steelseries Sibera V2 and V3 have quality issues and breaks easily, plus, the sound isn't that good either.

[ShearMe]

 And secondly, it does have bigger drivers.

 

That doesn't actually matter.

[zerge]

That doesn't actually matter.

Well, the bigger drivers actually does matter if you have proper equipment to power them. But anyways, comparing a steelseries headset with HyperX Cloud is a nobrainer > The HyperX Cloud sounds much better and is overall a better product
