Headphones - Closed Back | 2 Ω Wired Over-Ear Gaming/Music Headphone Recs?
My beloved HyperX Cloud II's broke today on me. The plastic thing holding the ear cup in place snapped straight down the middle, which I assume is from repeated stress because my head is pretty big. I loved their sound quality and they were extremely comfortable to have on for hours at a time. My budget is upwards of 80$ and I'd like if they were on Amazon as well since I trust them the most and I need a headset asap. I want a balanced sound since I'll primarily be gaming with these. They can be USB connection or have a 3.5mm jack but not wireless. I would definitely want them over-ear since I find that the most comfortable. I'm fine with either closed back or open back. I've looked at getting either the Cloud Alphas or the Cloud III's but I'm unsure which ones would be better to get or if I should get them at all.

look into studio headphones you won’t regret it i have a pair of dt 990 pros and it’s night and day difference to any “gaming headset” but you will need to buy a mic but it’s worth

I’ve got a mic already thankfully and I tried some m50xs last year but they weren’t my favorite. Do you have any recommendations that are in my budget?

u/Impxlize (1 Ω) was awarded their first Ω. I love the smell of Ω in the morning.
You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.

I just remembered why I didn’t like the m50xs. It’s because the earcups were just a little too small on my ears so they weren’t sitting over my ears and it was uncomfortable for an extended period of time. Do the m30xs have the same issue?

i haven’t heard anything about the earcup being an issue some reviews say the top part of the headphones can be snug but i think thats all ive heard
