You don't have to get desk clutter, there's plenty of mountable mics that can stick to the top of your monitor or somewhere else. My old Sound blaster recon 3d card came with one...
You can even hook up an old Kinect and use it's Microphone array. That's if you have the Power adapter and download install the drivers. Haven't gotten the camera to work but the microphone array works great.
Even a halfway decent webcam would sound good, have also used those in a pinch. IDK why so many people balk at doing that it's like they HAVE to have the boom mic integrated into the headset - going through that now with my youngest, his razer headset broke again I am trying to get him to just use his C210 mic for chat and I want to give him my Samson SR850s to use they sound much better.
Astro are terrible value for money. They cost 20% more than a set of high-end HiFi headphones, and yet they sound about 50% worse. My Sennheiser HD599s cost significantly less than Astro's headphones, and yet they're lighter, more comfortable and sound a lot better.
People are telling you to avoid another headset for a reason....Listen. As myself and other have said, make your own headset with a good pair of headphones and separate mic. Phillips SHP9500S and V Moda BoomPro are a good combo that will only cost you $80 USD total if you buy now, assuming you can buy from Newegg (otherwise it's ~$100 total). The headphones have a detachable cable, so you just plug the V Moda mic into it and plug the cable into your headphone and mic jack. The wiring is the same as a headset, and if you don't like the setup, return it.

Suprised about your HyperXcloud II.. I have mine since November 2014 and they still feel like new(countless hours, daily use)
A group of us got the same headset and we've all had a few problems. Maybe we were just unlucky. One my friends got it and swore by the sound quality and build quality, I needed a new headset so I went with it(as did a few others at the time) and noticed the sound quality wasn't as good as cheaper headsets(Sounded very thin and was hard to hear things in games like DbD and FPS games and the bass was pretty much nonexistent) on it's own. I ended up getting Razer Surround to improve the audio clarity which made a huge difference and added a tonne of bass.
I'm generally very careful so it was surprising when the plastic piece to hold the right headphone in place just weakened and eventually broke. It's a simple job to fix, screw in two screws with a new replacement part and it'll be as good as new but Kingston/HyperX don't sell additional parts for their headsets where I live(No idea why). Even at that, this particular piece they don't provide regardless. I think the plastic just isn't sturdy enough, one of the first things to break was the clip on the controller which we all experienced after around a month of having the headset(Myself, I only used the clip a handful of times).
The microphone is the best microphone I've had with a gaming headset, it's really sturdy where my previous headsets microphones broke due to wear and tear(Which was a big issue for said headsets which were also quite cheap, the turtle beach headset being notorious for it's microphone breaking - it wasn't detachable so you were constantly moving it). The headphones with the leather cups themselves were comfortable enough and really kept all sounds out. I couldn't hear anyone even if they were shouting at me in the same room.
I think I got my Cloud II's for €80 a year ago, not exactly cheap but not breaking the bank either but I'd have expected more than a year's use out of it, especially where it broke. Unfortunately Kingston/HyperX only support a six month warranty.
I heard great things about the Artic headsets but all I could see from reviews were for the Artic 7's which are wireless(I'm not really into wireless). I'll have a look at the Artic 5's today before I make a decision but right now it's looking like the Revolver S.
From what I've read though, all that surround sound in gaming headsets is is just digital representations so any software should be able to alter the surround sound to my liking for the most part, right?
That said if you liked the cloud 2 and aren't put of by yours failing the Cloud Alpha headset is pretty nice and almost the same.
That's a standard feature, all headphones should have Positional Audio as a stock feature.
Real 5.1 and 7.1 surround is different. A few headphone models really do have surround sound, which is done by fitting TINY wee little speakers all around the earcups. That does get you legit surround sound, but the sound quality is usually crap with these setups. Again because of the teeny-weeny speakers. I had a set of $500 7.1 cans about five years ago, and they sounded awful.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For pure audio quality, the best headsets on the market are Hi Fi headsets from brands like Sennheiser, Shure and Beyerdynamics. They're capable of much better sound clarity, more volume and stronger bass than any gaming headphones you'll find. And they're very good on price as well, Beyerdynamic's DT-770 Pro is an amazing headset and costs less than $200.
The only downside with these headsets is that they're a bit finnicky. They don't work well running off a normal soundcard, normally you'll need a device called a DAC to get them working properly. And that tacks an extra $100 onto the budget.
Right now, the best combo available would be Sennheiser HD598s or Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pros paired with a Schiit Fulla-2 DAC/AMP combo. No gaming headset will get anywhere close to that for audio quality, and the parts are well-built and will last a very long time. The only real downside is the price - about $300 all told.
One thing I have noticed, though, is whether all games employ 7.1 faux surround properly or if it is just my imagination and there are some that don't. Using a Logitech headset, I'm truly wondering if their software is as bad as I think it is.
This thread has been enlightening. One thing I am curious to find out from someone who has heard the difference: How much difference is there in the sound quality between a closed-back as opposed to an open-back design. I understand from reading that an open-back has the advantage, yet is it discernable?
We aren't trying to be jerks, just passing on what we learned. Personally, the only decent headset I ever used was a HyperX Revolver, but the sound quality of my recommended headphones, even the $50 Phillips SHP9500S is at least twice as good. I do understand the convenience of wanting one that has a mic built in and doesn't require any fiddling though. If you can't get Kingston to fix it through warranty, search around for a deal on a headset from one of the dedicated audio companies.
