Best Alternative for HyperX Cloud

[Noyu]

Title says it all,

 

The Kingston HyperX Cloud I is running out of stocks here. Costs approximately 60$ here.

 

So what would be my next (or better) options on the same (or lower) price?

 

Not really an audiophile. Just need a good balance of quality and comfort (more comfort plz).

 

And yea, I'm just too lazy to research by myself.

 

Options (as suggested by LTT):

Cloud Core

Cloud II

Logitech G430 - fugly, no offense.

Siberia V2 - more expensive by 175%

Superlux 681 EVO - LOOKS VERY NICE. but no mic so, pass

SkullCandy SLYR - not available

Sennheiser G4ME - expensive

Plantronics 388/788 - these SEEM like decent alternatives. ahaha

Razer Kraken Pro - because HAIL HYDRA

Steelseries Siberia V2 really solid pair of headphones and from what I've heard very comfortable

Are the cloud cores available?

They are exactly the same as the ones but without bullshit like airplane adapter and a cable long enough to go cook yourself a meal.

Siberia V2 is significantly more expensive than the Cloud.. about 175%

Yep, and already in my options. Else?

G430 is quite old, but even with my gigantic ears i can wear it without tiring for 12 hours a day. Sound wise, not that surprising but for so little money it's incredible.

You can get cheap cans and put expensive pads on them. Brainwaves, Beyerdynamic pads or maybe AKG. 

But you also have 681 EVO headphones. Dunno how comfy, but they come with velour pads. Good enough for gaming.

For cheap headphones there are plenty options. Monoprice for 20$, etc...

lol i use the cables you use to cook with. they are a necessity in my opinion if you are going to plug it into you rig directly

How far is your PC from the desk?

Because my friend recently got one and is reaching with no problems to the back.

if you dont have big ears, then Platronics 380 / 388 / 780 / 788 should do it

The only thing under $100 that would come near to close to the Clouds would be the Skullcandy SLYR. The SLYR was the lovechild of Astro and Skullcandy after Skullcandy bought out Astro and they did a surprisingly good job on it for the price (Can grab for around $50~ from Amazon, but no idea the cost for you).

 

Headset wise, everything else under the Cloud pricing is pretty much garbage. And the only decent "step up" from the Clouds, staying with headsets, is the Sennheiser G4ME One for $150.

 

If you are able to grab the Cloud or Cloud Core, go with either of those for sure. But if out of your grasp, check on the SLYR.

 

 

I'd like to point out that I despise gaming headsets and generally don't recommend them (with the exception of HyperX Cloud and Senn G4ME One due to their coming from full fledged quality headphones), but the Skullcandy SLYR will be the one product I will simply because you get a lot in regards to sound quality for what you are paying.

388 and 788 are both available and cheaper. thanks. don't get what you mean by "big ears" though. how big is big?

my pc is on my desk with the clouds hooked up to the fround audio port. whenever i lean back on my chair the Short cables wouldn't be enough. if i used th erear audio ports the short cables wouldn't even reach me.
