Cloud II Wireless - Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Long Lasting Battery Up to 30 Hours, DTS Headphone:X Spatial Audio, Memory Foam, Detachable Noise Cancelling Microphone with Mic Monitoring

​I've been extremely impressed with the HyperX Cloud 2 headset. It's a fantastic product, and I especially appreciate its performance when it comes to battery life and charging. ​The battery on this headset is truly solid. I can go for a very long time without needing to charge it, which is perfect for extended gaming sessions or just general use throughout the day. When it does need a charge, it gets a full battery remarkably fast. A huge bonus is that you can continue to use the headset while it's charging without any audio or mic interference, which is a lifesaver. ​While the sound quality is great on its own, it really shines when you pair it with a spatial audio enhancement like Dolby Atmos. This combination elevates the sound experience, giving you a much more immersive and directional audio experience in games and movies. ​Overall, the HyperX Cloud 2 is a reliable, high-quality wireless headset that I would highly recommend, especially for anyone looking for a long-lasting battery and the convenience of being able to use it while it charges.

I recently picked up the HyperX Cloud II headset for my gaming setup and I must say, I'm impressed. The headband and earcups are incredibly comfortable, much more than my previous headset, the Cloud Flight. They're definitely more plush and make it easier for me when playing games for a long time. The earcups are thick and I didn't feel the plastic like some other reviews have mentioned. One thing I want to note is that there is a small amount of static noise when using the Cloud II, barely noticeable though. In terms of sound quality, I found that the Cloud II and the Cloud Alpha (my other headset) have very similar sound profiles. I couldn't notice any major differences between the two. Bass is a little more boomy, not overblown on the Alpha's, so I like how those sound better. I did have a major issue with the DTS:X Spatial Sound feature on both headsets. It was horrible and sounded worse than regular stereo sound. Seriously, it's horrible. Try it out for yourself, it's pretty garbage. Another issue I encountered was when I installed the driver for the Cloud II. It caused a strange issue where only certain sounds were heard through either the left or right earcup. I eventually solved it. By uninstalling the driver. It's working perfectly fine now, but I wouldn't recommend installing the drivers unless absolutely necessary. Overall, the HyperX Cloud II is a great headset with solid sound quality and excellent comfort. It's a close second to the Cloud Alpha in terms of comfort, but still beats out my old Cloud Flight. Even though the whole driver fiasco is unacceptable, just don't install or uninstall it and you'll be fine. after doing that everything else is perfectly fine and I'm enjoying gaming with this headset. I Highly recommend it for gamers looking for a comfortable and (kinda) reliable headset.

I opted for the wireless model since I have enough wires already, and I wanted something I could easily switch from PC to PS5 depending on what I was playing. The box is pretty scarce with accessories. You get the headset, detachable mic, USB-C cable for charging/wired connection (THANK YOU), a foam windscreen for the mic, and the USB receiver. I was under the assumption that there would be a pair of cloth ear-pads for the headphones as seen in the wired version, but that is not the case here. More on that later. The build quality of the headset is surprisingly nice. I was expecting it to be more plastic than not, since weight can be an issue for prolonged periods of use. The outside ear cup plates (where the logo is) are metal (possibly aluminum), the surrounding housing is plastic, but it seems to be a high quality plastic, squeezing the ear cups while wearing them do not produce any creaking, or cracking. The headband has a red stitching and is padded very well. I keep my head shaved, and comfort/fit of headbands on some headphones can become annoying over time since I don't have any hair to create a cushion. The ear pads are a memory foam wrapped in pleather and shockingly, they do not make my ears too hot when wearing. I was fully expecting to replace these with the cloth ones, but so far, these are fine. They aren't as cool as cloth ear pads, but I really don't notice them when wearing the headset, which is exactly what should happen. The audio coming from the headset is a little bass rich, but I actually prefer that for the type of games I play. Some music will be a little too "bassy", but it is not unusable by any means, and some may even prefer the tuning out of the box. This default tuning may not be ideal for those looking for an aggressive high-end (think footsteps focus in a competitive FPS) but that is a very specific need that has been addressed by other brands in the same price point. I have not had a chance to really check the mic quality yet, but the few games I've played online seem to hear me okay, meaning, no one complained that the mic was too hot (think Xbox 360 back in 2009 and that one kid who was always screaming in CoD). All advertised features (virtual 7.1, and mic monitoring) are controllable from the headset, meaning you can enable/disable them without the need for the HyperX Software. At this point, I would 100% skip the software, since it is really just another way to control the volume, and mic gain. The adjustments are made to the same values you can change in the Windows control panel. The software does not have any EQ options, noise-canceling, or special presets. Thankfully, this can all be addressed in the future if HyperX decides to via firmware updates paired with an update to the software.

Noise cancellation its better with the wired version, this one also keeps disconnecting from time to time, sometimes I’m in the middle of a game and its just go on reset even with a full charge!

Got it a a for myself for Xmas - Its great in sound quality and Mike is also clear. even though its wireless don't feel the lag.

Bought this a while back after being a razer fan boy and getting my heart and wallet broken every year. Haven't had an issue since. Beautiful sound quality, comfortable on my head and still look as good as the day I got them.

Especially if you use DTSX ULTRA app on the pc, superior spital sound

So, lets start from the beggining. HyperX Cloud II (WIRED) We used it for 5 years. we get it in a beauty quality box. With extra ear pads. 1pair leather, and 1 pair plush. 7.1 option and Stereo sound was awsome. Once one of the usb controller accidently was broke (i dont want to write the details of it), we replaced it. that controller part. Sadly it wasnt the same anymore. The replaced wire 7.1 function was strange, when you turned on or off first the voice was muted then turned on and off the 7.1 So if you can try to keep the original controller wire for it. Reason for changed reduce the cables, and my Mrs used her orwn after hair wash with towel on her head, and the leather give up the fight (you can see on the picture). so... times change... (we tried another brand but it wasnt the same confort and same CLEAR voice like what we had with HyperX) HyperX Cloud II (WIFI) Same confort as before with the wired one. first time it was strange i had to download from ms store the "app" for it. but 7.1 and the main things i can controll from that app, plus what is on the headset ofc. No and connection issues, no any box/canned sound. That was realy anoying with another brands. HyperX Cloud Flight This one is a littlebit different from a regular HyperX. Hard plastic Base, with confortable pads. If you used the Cloud II before the this feeling will be stange at the first time but basically its give the same confort. What is VERY ANOYING about the software for this one. Cant work with the same ms app like the Cloud II, no.. you must to google out and find the software for it. When you find the software then its work like a dream. No option for 7.1 on this product. You can change the pads anytime if you want because use the same. Am i HyperX fan? After my experiences... Yes. i am.
