HyperX Cloud 2 or ....? Looking for suggestions

[Mondrayy]

Hey everyone!

I've been looking for over-ear headphones for about $100 and I can see a lot of people loving HyperX Cloud 2 headset for gaming. They have some really nice features like easy removing mic but I'm wondering how they compare to other stuff in this price range for general usage. I game a little bit but if I do the mic is highly important and I use mic for other things as well. In bigger store I was told they can't get it out of the box to try so I'm asking from people who might know. I was also told it might not be the best choice if gaming is not the main thing I'll use them for. 

There's really 2 main questions for me.

1) How comfortable they really are? I often use headphones for hours a day and comfort is important. I've used some Sennheiser headphones that make head ache within 30 minutes cause they put so much pressure on ears (I don't have the smallest head).

2) If that's not the best choice then what would you recommend? Right now I use EarPods that come with every iPhone.

Thanks in advance

1) Soooooo comfortable. I've had mine for like 3 years and theyre still super plushy 

 

2) If you don't like the mic quality on the headset, take a look at a mod mic + the cloud 2's or look at a dedicated microphone like a snowball.

I can also recommend the Logitech G Pro

The Cloud 2 is still a great headset but it’s preference
