People have had some noise artifacts, and popping with the G6...and creatives support is questionable. Also, the HyperX Cloud 2 is based off of a Takstar Pro 80, and honestly with those you have no need for an amp. A good rule of thumb is not to buy audio equipment from a gaming company if you can get something from an audio company that's within your budget. A Dragonfly red or black is a great portable option that's super portable and powered by the Switch itself. You'd just need a cable to adapt the USB A on the Dragonfly to USB C which is used on the Switch.

KethI keep looking at that, but one question I have is how would I handle microphone input. Id still like it so I can use the boom mic instead of the awful internal mics. I suppose having a separate ADC isn’t a minus, (especially with THAT whole voice chat none sense on switch) maybe something compact for the bag but flexible enough for at least stereo.

ErinalopeDo you care about portability? If you want to spend money, get a Mayflower Arc, if not I'd stick with what you have, unless you're having issues with it. The only "Audiophile" units with mic pass through that I know of are the Arc, and Burson Play & Fun models. Those require AC power though.

KethPortability is important. I’m either dealing with enterprise equipments with soundcards so awful I’d say “there’s a problem with it”, and on the other end is modern tech with no audio interface. I do have the hyperX 7.1 adapter but it was always kinda noisy when silent, or even make the headphone output noisy itself even when plugged into a separate interface. maybe there’s something I can do to clean up the audio on that adapter? Honestly the noise I got from that adapter is what started my search for better audio.

ErinalopeYou can try this little guy for $20, you'll need the USB C adapter though. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-70SB173000000-Sound-Blaster/dp/B06XBZ38ZJ Your options are limited for stuff like this, as a lot of them require drivers.
