Its between the Cloud Core and the Cloud 2 because I don't really need the added accessories that comes with the Cloud 1.

Cloud Core is 70 bucks where as the Cloud 2 is 130, is it worth it for the 7.1 surround sound? My current headset is the Turtle Beach X12s btw.

Mostly play Osu, CSGO, sometimes games like H1Z1, Rust etc.

Unless you want the extra features on the Cloud 2, the Cloud Core should be fine

Buying Cloud II for the surround isn't worth it. Tried it, liked it better with the surround turned off. So if you don't need the accessories, get the Core.

I own and use, sorted from newest to oldest: SteelSeries 6Gv2. Microsoft SideWinder X4. Mionix Naos 7000. Zowie EC1 Evo. Microsoft SideWinder X8. Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0. Dell U2414H. Samsung P2270H. AKG K273 Pro. Sennheiser HD555. Razer Goliathus Speed Medium. Func 1030 L. Qpad CT Medium.

I used to own: Razer DeathAdder 3G. Razer Krait. IntelliMouse Optical 1.1. SteelSeries QcK.

Assuming U.S since you said Core is $70, the Cloud 2 is $99 on both Amazon and NewEgg... That said, the Cloud 2 is absolutely NOT worth the added price for the USB dongle. Get the Cloud Core, and if you want to test out that simulated 7.1, download Razer Surround, it's free.
