I have saved up enough to buy either one of these headsets. I am not sure whether to buy HyperX Cloud or Siberia V2 :/

Please let me know your reason why.

I am open to suggestions and recommendations too :D Looking for wired headsets mainly for gaming and listening to music.

Kingston HyperX Cloud vs Steelseries Siberia V2

View Results
Kingston HyperX Cloud
Steelseries Siberia V2

Kingston, only because Steelseries is like Apple: way too much profit margin compared to competitors.
Although if you can afford a Sennheiser or even a Razer, try that. But even Logitech has good ones for low price, if you don't want to have some fancy brand.

I have tried both and I think HyperX Cloud is a rebadge of a better headset, overall from accessories things they give you the HyperX is really nice, its closed and the sound quality is nice but a little punchy on the bass side. The Siberia V2 is decent but may or may not have a comfort fit, and the mic may or may not break overtime while the Cloud has a detachable mic as well as replaceable ear cups.

I second this. Do note that the 598's are open headphones, meaning that some audio will bleed through them.

HD598 are hard to drive - I would never, ever drive these without a decent amp. Also I'd never buy headphones in that price-range without comparing them to others - with my own ears. Upwards of $100 you should never buy blindly. Yeah, the HD598 are decent, but somebody else might prefer other headphones. Especially in and around the price-range of the 598's there's a lot of decent headphones, such as the DT770, DT990, DT860 Edition, K612, K701, Focal Spirit One and so on...

The HyperX Cloud 2 fixes all of the first one's problems you know. And while the Cloud is highly rated, a lot of notable audiophiles use the V2 as a "guilty pleasure" for gaming. Not so sure about for music with either of them though but it probably won't be so bad either way.

Pretty hard to find a better headset at the price of the first generation HyperX Cloud, there are better of course but it will cost you

You'll laugh, but the ZXR sounds worse than the KHX

I have a V2 and based on experience so far, I can only recommend it.
