HyperX Cloud Vs. ATH M50

[markmania17]

I want to buy a new pair of headphones for gaming as well as for listening to music.
I know that ATH-M50s are like the best headphones in their price range and almost every tech reviewer has recommended them.
The HyperX Cloud has received a lot of positive reviews as well and apparently it provides great value for money as well.
I know the ATH M50s are great, but, how will they perform in games?
I mostly play FPS, third person sandbox games and platformers.
So, which of these two will strike a good balance in gaming as well as music performance?

Remember the ATH M50s do not have a mic, so if chat while gaming, the ATH M50 is not for you unless you have a separate mic.

The M50s are great, the HyperX are just alright, not great sound quality. The M50s are built for nothing but sound and comfort, and all around really nice. A Zalman clip-on mic for under $10 would make up for not having a mic.

The m50s can be used for gaming or music. They do have a small sound stage, so for positional queues they may not be the best, but they do work. They do sound great and are solidly built. I have owned a pair of these. I would recommend them for music.

Haven't tried the HyperX Cloud, but for gaming they look like a better option from the reviews I've read online.

Ive tried the ATH M50s and they are great. And for the Hyper x competition, i think Corsair Vengeance 2100 is better though its mic is not removable.
