I have a budget of about £100 (I can go £30 over, but that's all) and I'm looking for a new headset / mic setup. I currently own a pair of Turtle Beach X12s and I love them (233g is light, fit really nicely, ect.) however, the mic / sound quality isn't that good, they've broken about 5 times now and my chair keeps eating the wire. I was originally planning on getting a Corsair H2100 however I heard they can slide off your head amd a blue snowball however I have a lot of background noise in my house. What would you guys suggest?

i5 6600K @ 4.4GHz / Cooler Master Nepton 240M (GC Extreme Thermal Compound) / Asus Maximus VIII Gene / 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 / 240GB SanDisk SSD Plus & 2TB SeaGate Barracuda HDD / EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 / XFX XTR 750W 80+ Gold  / Fractal Design Node 804                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Total: £1042.31

Thanks, are there any major differences between the first and the second model?

Get the first one since the cloud II just comes with a really bad usb sound card and really short cords so you need to use the bad usb sound card.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

So I'd get better sound / mic quality with the first one?

well your onboard is better than the usb sound card the Cloud II comes with. The headsets are the same when it comes to how they sound.
