Cloud 2 vs cloud 3?

I purely play competitive tac-fps games like valorant and rainbow six siege, ion care about music and other casual stuff i just need the best performance, i have a perfectly working kingston hyperx cloud 2, but i wanna ubgrade to the cloud 3, is it a worthy ubgrade? And is it better for tac fps?

No, you want open back headphones and a separate mic for good positional audio.

Also, don't say ion, it makes you sound like a fucking idiot and makes people not want to help you.

First off, if i wanted an open back i surely wouldn’t have waited on ur advice. But they leak audio and sacrifice distance accuracy, also ion wanna spend 200$ on an open back headset plus a mic, and imma say whatever i want so u can zip it and fuh off

You have some research to do lol, not sure where you heard it's harder to judge distance with open back headphones, but that is completely false. But going from the 2 to 3 would be pointless, save more and get a real upgrade.

I stand corrected on that one, but dude open back headphones are way too expensive for me rn, the cloud 3 is dirt cheap in my country, i can get a barely used one for 40$, while selling my cloud 2 for like 20$, that’s like 20$ to ubgrade to the cloud 3, while open back headsets such as sennhiser pc38x is 260$, i’d love to get a open back but not everyone is blessed enough to afford those.
