The AD500X's are over $180 so I think I'll go with the cloud but I just found out my budget it higher so I'll go with the cloud 2 unless you can find any better options that are the same price

A better option would be the Cloud 1.

Because the USB dongle is a piece of shit, and the 4 pole trrs jack doesn't do well with computers without an adapter. It's literally a less useful headphone.

I'll be the second to say the dongle is garbage compared to even onboard. If you absolutely for some reason NEED the USB dongle for some reason, then sure, get the Cloud 2. But you will get better sound through your onboard connections.

Have? No.. had, yes. I no longer have any lower end headphones still in my collection aside from the Creative Aurvana Live! that I can't seem to let go of. If you want a USB dac/amp, then grab what I use, WooAudio WA7. Look at the reviews and user reviews, it means it's good so you have to have it! I mean, the reviews......

 

If you don't believe and want to trust in user reviews of people who buy Razer and Logitech products and think those are good with no real audio experience, then I suggest you stop asking and just buy the Cloud 2 for the usb dongle. You seem set on the Cloud 2, and while I think it's a waste of money over the Cloud Core or Cloud, you seem to want us to justify the purchase for you, so.... Just get them, don't think about it.

Calm down. I was just asking for some proof since i have heard a lot of people just wildly say that it sucks, if the dongle does nothing then i will go with the cloud 1 and don't assume that i only listen to reviewers who are paid to say something is good. You don't know me

Make your own topic. Thread derailment is against the CoC.
