the hyperx cloud 2 for $95 cad or $71 usd 

or 

hyperx cloud core for $53 cad or $40 usd 

 

is it worth the extra $31 to get the hyper x cloud 2 or just stick to the cheap hyper x cloud core ? 

thx for your time 

Regular HyperX Cloud are good enough unless you want surround sound.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Cloud Core, same headset just without USB dongle that is pretty garbage. Stick to the Cloud Core, you'd have to be an idiot to pay the extra for the Cloud 2 unless your 3.5mm audio ports were busted.

Wrong, the Cloud, Cloud Core, and Cloud 2 all can use virtual surround the exact same via Razer Surround for free.
