I just got new cloud 2 wireless and they sound okay (cant compare to the old ones), but the microphone on them is worse than the one from my previous 10 bucks china-headset, which makes the headset completely unusable.

that explains my audio issues, sadly support never told me this and now i am outside the window to return them.

Just got back to the Cloud 2 Core wireless after using a razer one which broke last week. Had the cloud 2 wired before and i still think these are the best value for money headsets out there

Cloud 2 from that list but the JT1 performs better than the cloud 2 even while being a "music" headphone.

So, as title says. I play a lot of games so I need low latency. On the other hand I love listening to music in great quality. But latency is more important here since I have speakers for music. My budget is 150 USD. I'm going to use them mostly for gaming. I need shipping to Poland. Right know I have HyperX cloud 2 wireless, they are great but they time is coming to an end. Any good recomendations?
