Yea I have the cloud 2 Kingston. I’ve tried the seinheisser hd560s and the steel series Arctis nova pro. Both of which are double the price but imo sound worse than the cloud 2. I am on console pubg.

With all my experience I would suggest you the HyperX Cloud 2 wired but the old one Kingston version not the new HP. You can find it on Ebay or Newegg. It’s a 2015 Headset and yes it’s that good. I still use mine and just ordered a new one on Newegg.

Been using the hyperx cloud 2 for a few years now and I LOVE it. I have pretty large size gauges in my ears and these give enough clearance to not be uncomfortable. And they're on sale for 60 bucks!

There is only one headset that every gamers should have, there is only 1 correct answer no matter the budget: Hype X cloud 2. No 3, no alpha just 2. I don’t discuss, trust me and if you don’t go see why every pro use them instead of 350€ astro headset.

Crap I can’t remember what mine was called. I’ve had it about 3 years now. Pretty sure it’s a hypercloud as well but I don’t remember which one it was. It’s got a 180 hour battery life though.

Fully overear. So I guess it’s the 2. Fully overear is the only kind I can use. Can’t stand the feeling of partially or barely. Bone induction isn’t bad though.

Plastic connectors to the headband will probably disintegrate. Happened to my twos after a couple months

I got a HyperX cloud 2 back in September and it's still working and hasn't broken or falling apart compare to my razer headset that broke in less than a year.
