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.

>Cloud 2 has too much bass You lost me on this, cloud 2 wired are literally some of the best headphones you can get for the price and the wireless versions aren't far behind, they have less low end and the mid range is slightly mudier by default, but that was fixable with an adjustment to the EQ.

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?
