HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II
Razer Kraken X
The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II are better wired gaming headphones than the Razer Kraken X. The HyperX sound much better-balanced, they're more comfortable, and their USB DAC provides additional features like channel mixing and virtual surround sound. The Razer's microphone sounds even more natural, though. They also come with a Y-splitter, which is helpful when connecting to certain desktop PCs, especially since it helps eliminate the latency a USB DAC can cause.
