I did the research for you

I must have watched 30'ish YouTube videos and elsewhere, researching what the First Person Shooter pro gamers were buying and why. These were right up there with $150-300 sets in high praise reviews and at 59 bucks re-certified, I bought them. FIVE STARS. This Cloud II set is light, super comfortable and most importantly, they are literally Game Changing! I switch back and forth on the 7.1 surround not only by game but sometimes by each map. Either mode allows you to hear footsteps and tell where they're coming from. The 7.1 makes the sound map seem larger which is good for tight quarter battles like in some Rainbow 6 Siege maps. Other maps in the same game benefit from the 7.1 being off. You'll have to be the judge. GREAT SOUND. I'm not an audiophile but I think these are nice enough to just be great headphones. The microphone sounds okay to my gaming friends but not as nice as some other sets I've had. The re-certified don't come in the fancy box and are missing the airline jack and carry bag. I don't need either. I love these things and I'm winning more matches because of them. Nuff said.Read full review
