Hey guys,
I'm looking for a good headset for under £100. I'd like it to be good for listening to music, but for it also to be great when playing video games. It must also have a built-in microphone.
I've heard the SteelSeries Siberia V2 is a great headset in this price-range, but I've also heard that it's not the best headset for music-listening and that it's not that comfy.
My question is this, is there any better multi-purpose headsets, that're comfier and good for music listening than the SteelSeries Siberia V2?

My music of choice is generally hard-rock/heavy metal so perhaps the good bass of the Siberia V2 will be good for this music, but I'm unsure.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

The HyperX Cloud and the Siberia V2 are both in the same price-bracket, the Vengence 2000 are £30 more expensive, so I think i'll pass on them.

What would you say is the better between the Cloud and the V2?

so all in all, i would personally go for the HyperX because of its massive 53mm drivers plus its newer, otherwise i dont think you would notice much of a difference between them unless you're using some really high end DAC or something

EDIT: this video comments on the music quality as well btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8qk0VEt2r8

Alright, I believe I'm going to go for the HyperX Cloud. The general aesthetics and the quality seems just that bit better than the V2s and as a bonus it's a little bit cheaper.

Thanks for your help!
