HyperX Cloud II – Gaming Headset PC/PS4/Mac/Mobile, gunmetal - 53 mm Driver Size

This is truly a great gaming headset. As someone that's used audiophile and studio grade headphones, this headset is very close in terms of sound quality for what you want in gaming. Picking out footsteps in a shooter is a breeze with these. The build quality feels great and is very comfortable to wear for many hours at a time. The mic is tuned perfectly for anyone on party chats or discord to hear you clearly. You can also hear them clearly too. It works for pretty much anything PS5, PC etc. and they even give you an external USB soundcard so you get a clear noise free signal instead of the motherboard's built in audio. I cannot recommend this headset enough, they look, feel and sound great!

I bought this to replace a wireless Logitech G935 that was starting to disintigrate and wow what a difference. I went wired with this headset because I had lag and wireless interferance with the wireless headset. This HyperX has amazing sound quality - I've tested it with music, movies, games, and discord chat and I can't believe the upgrade in sound quality I've gotten. Going wired over wireless so far has been a great call- I don't really miss the benefit of being wireless and no longer have to deal with lag or interferance. Also the HyperX is super comfortable- I used to get sore pinched ears wearing the Logitech but these are so soft and fit so well around my ears. The HyperX is also lighter and fits the shape of my head better. I really wanted the Pink and White headset but I wasn't willing to spend another £35 pounds for it- I have to say even though red/black isn't my favorite color combo this headset looks nice. It's sleek, well made with quality materials and all the cables are very nice and long with quality nylon wrappings. Overall I am *very* happy with this purchase and wish I'd made the change sooner.

Honestly, these are solid headphones. The sound is crisp, voices come through clean, and the bass has enough punch without feeling like it’s drowning everything out. I’ve been using them mostly for mobile gaming and they do the job really well — BUT heads up, if your phone doesn’t have a headphone jack (which most don’t these days), you’ll need an adapter. That’s a little annoying, but once you’re set up, the comfort and audio quality make up for it. The build feels premium — sturdy frame, nice padding, and they don’t squeeze your head like a vice. The mic is surprisingly clear too, way better than the random Bluetooth earbuds I was using before. Price-wise, yeah, they’re a bit on the higher end compared to average headsets. If you’re just looking for something casual, these might feel expensive. But if you care about good quality and long sessions without ear pain, they’re worth it.

I bought a pair of the HyperX Cloud II headset, and they were so good, I came back and bought another. The sound is very, very good for the price. I also bought a more expensive headset around the same time by a different manufacturer and I have to say they were nowhere near as good as the HyperX Cloud II. The headset comes with a USB cable and a clip-on soundcard, with separate volume control and separate mic input level. There's also a button to activate the 7.1 virtual surround sound. I should mention that this headset also works without the accompanying USB cable - in that it can be plugged straight into a standard 3.5 mm jack. There's not that much loss of quality by removing the USB connection, but you do then lose the 7.1 virtual surround sound and the volume and input controls, as well as leaving the overall length of the cable much shorter. But it is useful to be able to connect it in a standard way through the 3.5 mm headphone jack. One issue I noticed, was that you need to make sure that the detachable mic "boom" is plugged in all the way - it almost has to click right in, otherwise the mic may not work, or it can even fall off the headset. This mic issue did not affect the overall usefulness of the headset for me, but it might become a problem for someone using it for gaming where more physical movement is involved. Incidentally, I only noticed the difficulty plugging the microphone in all the way with one of the two headsets I bought, so it may be a one-off. Since the boom mic part is fully detachable, for anyone just wanting to use the headset as headphones, then they will work very well for this, without the intrusive mic getting in the way or sticking out. I used one of the pairs I bought purely as headphones - minus the mic part. The sonic quality is incredible and you barely hear any external noises around you. The bass is excellent as well as the general fidelity of the sound. They are comfortable on the ears and I highly recommend the headset. I think they are worth 5 to 10 times the price they actually cost.

One of my first major headsets - I feel very happy for the quality of the product and the price paid (a bit over 100 with shipping). From background researching headsets currently available, this one appears to be the best purchase for a mid-high range headset that does not feature full surround sound. If you are looking for surround sound as a must have, this does have simulated 7.1 (which is okay, see below) but expect to pay an extra 100 dollars if you want a same quality headset featuring full surround sound! First Impressions: The product came in a well packed shipping box - no damage. The outer product box detailing the specs of the headset opens to reveal a very stylish, slick looking box with a subtle, glossy HyperX logo. Lifting the top off the box revealed indulgent foam packing, presenting the headset and it's accessories in elegant style. The packaging alone made me feel like I had bought something worthwhile with a lot of care and thought put into the experience of unboxing, and storage. The box itself is nice enough that I'm hanging on to it for future use (and storage of the headphones if need be). First Tests: I started by plugging the headset fresh out of box into my phone and putting on a range of music - the sound quality is phenomenal. After using the stock headphones that come with phones, and higher quality ear buds, this set gives such a rich experience that I'm quite blown away with the overall sound. All sound ranges are audible and present a full bodied suite of balance options with devices that allow you to mix. I then plugged the headphones into my high performance laptop and listened to another sample body of music - sound quality again was great, and my motherboard sound processing really gave a bit of extra juice to the head set that the phone did not provide (noticeable, but they still worked excellently well on the phone). Using my mixing options on the computer I put the headphones through their paces with full ranges of balance and they held up across the board. In terms of a general purpose listening headset, these give quite the bang for buck - may other revues talk about these being audiophile level quality, and I would have to agree. Gaming Test + Mic: I plugged the headset into my laptop again and hit up a few games - alone then with friends. Solo: Again the headset performs to impress - the games sounded new and fresh, I heard familiar scenes/sounds in games with a whole new light. Everything from loading music to in game audio of reloading, shooting, character voices, and ambient atmosphere became not only more apparent, but completely engrossing and impressive. You can finally hear the real quality and detail that sound engineers have put into games to make a fully immersive experience. Can't say enough how impressed I am. Group + Mic: Voices and sound come through really well. The mic comes through very clear, though not professional recording quality, gamer approved quality for sure. My friends could immediately tell I had made a change to my set up by the way I sounded - for the better. Everyone agreed the mic quality was clear and ambient sounds around me were significantly muffled compared to an open mic. Xbox One: I plugged these into my xbox One controller + stereo headset adapter. Again sound quality impressed me (Last Word in Destiny has so many bonus sounds that I hadn't heard before!) They may not be surround sound, but the soundstage certainly helps you pinpoint directionality of sounds when playing games. Mic issue: As of right now, the mic does not work with Xbox One, this is a firmware 'issue', in so far as Microsoft has not updated their system to support the mic YET. I contacted Microsoft and I'm assured that all 3rd party headsets will have their specs updated into the console/controller and full mic functionality is coming. Comfort: These are a dream to wear, super comfortable and the replaceable foam ear pads easily switch out for the included velour ear pads which are just as nice, and help keep your ears cool. The head band is also very generously padded. Super comfy to wear even over long periods of gaming/music or movies. 7.1 Surround sound and Included USB dongle: My laptop's motherboard sound drivers do a completely comparable, if not all around better job than the dongle. You lose a lot of quality upon plugging in the dongle, the ability to control the sound from the dongle IS nice, but not worth the hit to sound quality. That being said, if you have a slower PC or no real built in audio options, the Dongle can roughly match what my top of the line Asus can do. Remember that not every PC has built in, or quality sound cards that can drive this headset to its full potential - the dongle can bridge that gap - buyer beware if you already have good sound options in your PC the Dongle is not worth the extra money compared to the original cloud headphones. The differences are subtle but if you can grab these at the same cost - do so. Overall: BUY THESE. Awesome headset if it's in your price range and no surround sound is not a deal breaker. For their price I doubt you could find a better all in one set up.

I bought these to replace my old gaming headset. The sound quality is amazing, mic is crystal clear and they are extremely comfortable! If you aren't set on getting the white, the black cloud 3s are cheaper and the same quality. I paid the pink tax because I wanted headphones that match my setup. Worth it for me personally.

Super słuchawki, bardzo wygodne, świetny dźwięk i naprawdę dobry mikrofon
