Hey everyone!

So I've had the HyperX Cloud II for a few years now, but lately, it's been kinda troublesome. Sometimes, if the wire moves a bit the right side doesn't get any audio, and even when it has audio it sounds weird.

So I'd like to get some recommendations for a new pair of headphones, with these

Around 100 euros, could stretch them to around 150 if the headphones are that good.

Are closed back.

Have a good build quality/ durable. ( Sometimes I drop my headphones, not on purpose ofc. I'm just stupid.😬)

I was satisfied with the sound quality of the Cloud 2s, so any headphones that sound the same or better are good in my book.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Do you have a headphone amp? Do you need a microphone built-in, or would something like the ModMic work for you?

Prices have gone up, so the new $100 (~100 Euro) is now closer to $170. You could try the used market, but YMMV. Keep in mind that pretty much all "gaming headsets" are garbage for listening. Maybe someone from Europe could chime in, because what is available in your market may be significantly different from mine.
