Came across this on Kogan's website. unsure when the sale started or when it ends. I'm guessing its inline with black Friday deals coming up. Id buy these if I hadn't already got a new corsair headset for fathers day. Always gets good reviews for these. Currently listed at $78 plus postage. estimate for VIC Postage was $11.22 so total of $89.22. Normally around $120 at most stores.
Cloud Alpha> Cloud II> Other Cloud Variants
That excludes the revolver and stinger line etc because they're quite different headphones. Only comparing the OG Cloud line and sequels here.
Not saying these are a bad deal because they aren't, the Cloud Alpha from JB are just a better deal by a longshot.
I want to know this too.
As far as I know these are the same as Cloud II but no 7.1 or USB sound card and a different style of padding (the specs of the drivers themselves are almost exactly the same except one thing). I've tried the Cloud II in-store and the Cloud Alpha sound miles better despite the ''DAC/AMP'' on the C2 USB. They are also much more comfortable than the Cloud II and have detachable cables. I would highly recommend in every possible way to get the Cloud Alpha unless you are unable to do so. I went from a pair of M50Xs to the Cloud Alpha and I must say I am not even disappointed which I expected I'd be when getting a gaming headset.
Also I payed like twice the price of the upcoming deal so the fact that I'm still saying I had a good experience with them should tell you something.
Wait for the cloud alpha.
These are good. I bought a pair for a similar price earlier in the year. Very comfy with great sound.
I've bought these for the same price and free shipping on eBay some months ago. I like the quality, feels super study and the sound quality is good for me. I think it can be found cheaper if you really search for it though.
Its not a bad deal for an older headset. sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the newer headsets will have. e.g. 7.1 virtual surround sound. If you were after a decent headset and JB goes ahead with the newer cloud deal = probs best to wait for that. or if you have a kris kringle you need to knock out of the way then this deal could be just as good.
Good deal if you dont want to wait for the Alpha offer at JB.
This would take some time to deliver too though. I'd highly recommend anyone and everyone to get the alphas before this no questions whatsoever but if you miss out on that deal then this is a good second.
How does this compare to the HyperX Cloud alpha that’s coming up @ jb.
