Steelseries 9h vs hyper x cloud

[gavinh87]

What is your opinion on this guys?
I'm by no means an audiophile I'm just looking for an upgrade.
My current setup is soundblaster omni and steelseries siberia v2.
Overwatch is my main game now although there are other RTS/MMO's i play every now and then.

I'd go for the HyperX Cloud over the Steelseries. They are based on very good headphones and from what I can see of user comments get better feedback overall. Microphone is the weak point on the HyperX though. Read a few people's comments about the 9H microphone and that's a similar story.

If you need a good quality microphone, then I'm not sure what you should get really. Sennheiser's microphones are very good, but their better headsets are a fair bit more money than the HyperX Cloud.

If microphone quality is not overly important as long it's decent enough, then the HyperX is a good choice.

If you don't need a microphone, could always get some headphones instead. Creative Aurvana Live! are very good for around £50.
