Not sure how you define good but I bought my razer nari essential wireless for around $100. I like the large earcups which are soft and comfy. I wear glasses so not all headset are comfy for me and I find that the nari essential is the most comfortable for me. G633 also not bad but abit annoying when you accidentally tug the cable and the headset is disconnected so I switched to the nari essential for wireless.

Oh i see. I looking for a headphone that js comfortable to wear for SG climate and also have a decently mic. Ir doesn't have to have excellent audiophile level audio. But a decent mic is needed. Im looking to use it only for games like aoex legends and other multiplayer gamws where comms is necessary. Won't be using it for single player games or listening to music.

I highly recommend the hyper x cloud 2, gave the same recommendation to my friends and those who bought thought it was a good buy as well

I would not suggest hyperx cloud 2. The rubber used is low quality which will degrade causing the external ear cup to be sticky. Super disgusting. I would rather pick a whole plastic build like the stinger instead.

Mic wise grab a cheap stand alone mic.

It's on ears tho....won't recommend those for long gaming sessions. Generally over ears are best for comfort. The con is that they are big which is a moot point if you're using at home

Its the same as cloud 2. The main difference is cloud 2 comes with usb DAC.

I still don't recommend half rubber half plastic headphones though. Use it for a year or so and you will know what I mean by the degraded sticky rubber which is really super disgusting considering you will definitely touch it as you will touch it when you put on or take off your headphones.

That is a problem unless you can physically see the product. Can't really tell as it's not stated on the site
