HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II
Corsair HS50
The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are better overall wired gaming headphones than the Corsair HS50. While both models feel very well-made, the HyperX are much more comfortable for long gaming sessions. They also have more control options, like channel mixing and an option to activate surround sound on PC and PS4 thanks to their USB sound card/in-line remote. They also have a much better microphone and isolate more noise too. However, the Corsair reproduce sounds in the treble range more accurately, though, and their simpler controls are also easier to use.
