Hello.
I've been looking to get new headphones for a while. I play mostly games and listen to everything from jazz to house (while playing other games). I also used to do some video editing. A hobby that I hope too soon revive. I play mostly FPS games and am a pretty competitive player.
My budget is around 100-120$.
I've been looking at the HyperX cloud 2 since people say it's the best "gaming" headset for the price. I have also looked at the Audio-Technica M40x, also a great value I've heard.
Since I do listen to music I don't want a bass bloated pair of Krakens. (I've tried them) I'm looking for something in the middle ground between hi-fi capable headphones and decent gaming performance.
The DT990 and HD558 also crossed me but both of those go up to 200Ω and need an amplifier. If I need to buy a amplifier/soundcard the total price goes a bit too high for my budget.
So basically: How bad are the cloud 2 for music and editing and how bad are the M40x for gaming? Is there any better alternatives?
I get severe OCD whenever I think of buying new stuff so I'd really appreciate some feedback.
