Pro The Pros: What Redditors Love
In short, I've used my Cloud 2s for years now and while they are the most comfortable headset I've ever tried (especially having a big head) I want to look for better audio quality for bass heavy music and gaming. I bought the 560s and unfortunately had to return them due to the really tight clamp force, so I am looking for any recommendations of people who happen to know how the Cloud 2 comfort is, but for headphones that provide better audio quality but have the comfort of Cloud 2s. I'm not trying to dive deep in
Con The Cons: Real-World Issues
I used to have hyperx cloud ii's, which were "fine" for gaming headphones. Not super comfortable but at some point i swapped the cushions for thicker brainwavz ones and they have been ok since. But I wanted to upgrade to some proper headphone, get a bit more premium. With comfort being a big factor. After a bunch of research I settled on the Sennheiser HD5
