Posted November 2, 2016 I have hyper x cloud 2's at the moment but they are really uncomfortable. I have owned them for like 6-7 Months. I have been using $15 Earbuds from walmart and having a better experience with a super crappy mic. The sound isnt great but my headset just hurts. Any Ideas? Should I buy new earcup things for my cloud 2's and try that or should i just buy decent earbuds (Around $100 USD)? Edit- I game and listen to music while i play and nothing else. Im also a ps4 console peasant Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/684690-headphonesearbuds/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 2, 2016 How come they hurt? Is it the padding? Do you use the leather or soft foam earcups? | CPU: AMD FX 8350 + H100i | GPU: AMD R9 290X + NZXT Kraken | RAM: HyperX Beast 2033 16GB | PSU: EVGA G2 | MOBO: ASRock 970M | | CASE: Corsair Carbide 88R |STORAGE: 1x WD Black | KEYBOARD: Corsair K70 | MOUSE: R.A.T 9 | SOMETIMES LOSING THE BATTLE, MEANS YOU CAN WIN THE WAR Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/684690-headphonesearbuds/#findComment-8795550 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the leather ones, but have used the soft foam ones. I have used them both for about the same amount of time... They hurt my ear and around it. I have big ears so over time they touch the back of the cup i guess i could call it.

(If you cant tell im not much of an audiophile) If you have problems with the cups not being big enough, then you should look more into premium headphones, like the Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X, and so on, or it may be worth investing in ear buds, however I don't recommend them over headphones, especially in the same price range. | CPU: AMD FX 8350 + H100i | GPU: AMD R9 290X + NZXT Kraken | RAM: HyperX Beast 2033 16GB | PSU: EVGA G2 | MOBO: ASRock 970M | | CASE: Corsair Carbide 88R |STORAGE: 1x WD Black | KEYBOARD: Corsair K70 | MOUSE: R.A.T 9 | SOMETIMES LOSING THE BATTLE, MEANS YOU CAN WIN THE WAR Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/684690-headphonesearbuds/#findComment-8795584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They arent small, just over time they arent deep enough i guess.. should i try buying replacements?
