Cloud II

I’ve been using the HyperX Cloud II for many months now, mostly for gaming on my PC and PS4, and it’s honestly one of the best headsets I’ve owned in this price range. The sound quality is excellent—really clear with solid bass, and the 53mm drivers definitely deliver when it comes to hearing footsteps or subtle in-game sounds. The virtual 7.1 surround sound is a nice bonus, especially for more immersive games or when playing FPS titles where positional audio matters. Comfort-wise, these are top-notch. I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. The ear cushions are super soft, and the headband doesn’t press down too hard like some other headsets I’ve tried. They also feel well-built—not cheap or flimsy at all. The detachable mic is a nice touch too, and my friends say my voice comes through loud and clear. Also worth noting: they work right out of the box with no complicated setup. I’ve used them with my laptop and even my phone (with an adapter), and everything works smoothly. All in all, the Cloud II hits a sweet spot between performance, comfort, and price. If you’re looking for a reliable headset that just works and sounds great doing it, this one’s a solid choice.

UPDATE as of 27/08/21 I purchased this on the 04/04/16 and I am still using it to this day. These are by far the most comfortable headphones I've ever used and in terms of the amount spent va the amount used, it's fair to say I've got my moneys worth out of this. The padding has started to wear now, however, it's still comfortable and stuck on. I use these 8 hours a day for work currently 5 days a week and then again for when I'm gaming. My GO TO headphones and if they ever did break, I think I would just buy another pair of the same ones. === I purchased these back in April 2016 after my last set of headphones brokedown. I'm writing the review today because after I stopped gaming for around a year, I've gotten back into it. Not just that, but with working from home and taking calls/team meetings, I needed something more reliable than my standard earphones. Plugged in without the USB soundcard into my laptop and these were good to go. I forgot how GOOD these sound as the audio is so crisp, the bass so deep, it just gives a more satisfying feeling than listening to audio in earphones! I've been using these for 4 years now and they STILL work fine. I neglected the USB Cable so it will cut out if it's moved, but that's because my little one has been tugging on the wire and I have just kept it coiled up for a while. Since you can unplug the jack from the USB drivers, you can carry on using it even if the USB cable has stopped working. Pros: GREAT sound DEEP bass Noise cancelling mic Very good mic which I've had so many compliments for on my gaming sessions Comes with a USB driver with soundcard built in, great if your PC/laptop's soundcard is crap Can be used as 3.5MM Jack OR as USB Detachable Mic so you can still use as daily headphones Price is very reasonable for what you get CONS Wire with just 3.5MM jack is a little short for my liking (but if you're going to use the USB cable, it'll be MORE than long enough). USB cable wire can wear down over time (but again, this may be my neglect and the way it's plugged into my PC) Summary This may be the best gaming headset I've used, It's so comfy for long our gaming sessions 7+ hours tested and does not squeeze your ears in any way The sound quality is great and the option to use the drivers built into the adaptor or not 5 stars

I never leave reviews unless they're negative, but these headphones are so astoundingly good I went out of my way to log into amazon, find this product again and leave a review. What can I say, they do exactly everything you could possibly want from headphones at this price. I've been wearing mine EVERY SINGLE DAY for over 4 years for multiple hours a day. For gaming? Absolutely excellent. I turn the volume high and can ALWAYS hear the enemy footsteps, even if it's a Caveira in R6 Siege (the quietest character). I never use the 7.1 surround sound though because it messes up my orientation but the USB to headphone jack is basically an essential for someone like me that has my PC a bit far away from my desk. For music? Phenomenal. Yes there exist higher quality headphones, you can buy £400+ Senheiser headphones if you're such an audiophile, but for anyone who's normal and listens to music on Spotify or YouTube (or even a sneaky illegal pirated .mp3 file) these headphones will play your song loud and clear with a bass too. For long stretches of time? Fantastic. These headphones feel extraordinarily comfortable on me (my head is normal sized, maybe if you have a megamind head it's not for you) and last multiple hours before any discomfort. I'd say after about 4 or 5 hours of usage I need to take them off for a while and massage my head and ears a little. For running? Well... I've not only gone running with these but also I've done parkour with them. They only came off when doing rolls from large heights. I'm not gonna lie though, there are better products out there if your main goal is running. Apple earphones are by nature lighter and I'm sure there are many bluetooth options that may specialise more. These definitely hold up just fine for running though. Water damage? I've been out running in the rain- and I'm talking London rain. Never caused any hearable or visible damage despite the copious rainfall. I've never submerged these headphones though... I wouldn't push them THAT much. Have I ever damaged them? Yes actually. One time I left it under my friends coat in a coach journey to Belgium and I sat on it, causing one earmuff to bend outwards at a 45 degree angle. This seemed unfixable until I got home, dismantled them then bent the metallic red connector piece back to shape using a hair dryer and lots of force. Anyway that's my review. I promise I'm not being payed by HyperX or whatever, I just really appreciate how fantastic the build quality and attention to detail this product has.

Also... no I am not "Martha" writing this, I'm a younger family member of hers.

I've been using the HyperX Cloud II for gaming, media, and voice chat, and overall it's been a very positive experience. The headset is comfortable to wear for long sessions thanks to the well-padded ear cups and headband, and it doesn't feel overly heavy even after several hours of use. Sound quality is impressive, with clear audio and good directional awareness in games. Dialogue comes through clearly, and the headset performs well for music and videos in addition to gaming. The microphone is also easy to use and delivers clear voice communication. The build quality feels solid and durable, giving the impression that it will hold up well over time. Setup was straightforward, and compatibility with multiple platforms is a nice bonus. I'm giving it 4 stars because the virtual surround sound feature wasn't as impactful as I expected, and the headset can feel a bit warm during very long sessions. Even so, these are relatively minor issues. Overall, the HyperX Cloud II is a comfortable, well-built headset with excellent sound quality and remains a strong choice for gaming and everyday use.

Back in 2020, I bought this headset as part of an upgrade to my Gaming PC setup. I had been using a cheap £20 USB headset prior that, while not bad, was no different from the average earphones you'd use for your phone today. The clarity jump was insane; You could hear the difference in file quality, and that's not talking about how you can differentiate and focus on individual instruments in music clear as day, be it retro or modern. Sound effects carry super well and gunfire sounds like authentic gunfire in games that use it. The Memory Foam cups were great and the microphone solid (though I got the Quadcast S later, S-tier mic btw). Then, after being careful with it for 4 years, one of the levers for the right earcup broke. I WAS DEVASTATED and they didn't have them on sale anymore. So I got a Corsair HS80 that wasn't bad but not perfect. One day I tried to remove the cups for cleaning because it said you could, and they twisted right off. After a year. Anyway this month was time to buy a replacement and I had a longing for my favourite headset ever made, and-- WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S BACK?! MY BABY!! I slammed my card and bought this sucker the moment I got paid and THEY'RE STILL AS GREAT. OH MY LOVE HOW I MISSED YOU!!

I bought a pair of these May 2017 and the only reason I remember that date is because Amazon tells me when I look at them. They were the first headset I bought myself that I paid "silly price" for as my mum would say and that was even discounted but there's a good reason for that, they're really good quality. They're very comfortable (as someone that wears glasses, headphones usually pose a problem but I've never experienced discomfort wearing these) The Audio quality is astounding, crystal clear, good bass and after a while you can tell when surround sound isn't enabled. The mic was pretty good quality however I ran into a problem after a few months where there would be static or a buzzing on the mic, I put this down to the fact that when I wasn't using the mic I would unplug it and the port must have just been worn out? I'm not too sure but I would just suggest not unplugging it all the time like I did. 5 years later the headset is still working perfectly however as you can imagine the daily ware and tear has taken its toll on these poor things and I'm not a light user. Over those five years they have been used anywhere from 4 hours a day to over 12 and these are some of the issues I've only just encountered in the last couple of months; The leather on the ear cushions began peeling and I would find it on my desk, in my hair, on the floor so I had to remove them and replace them with the fabric ones that come in the box. Still very comfortable but I have to spend a bit of time pulling stray hairs and random fuzz out of them, anybody that's ever owned fake leather knows that this happens after a while even if you take good care of it. The Audio Control box still works but would cause a static disruption over what I was listening to from time to time, I put this down to ware and tear of over 5 years of use but also I would unplug the headset regularly so that I could use it on my phone or plug into my playstation controller. I had to stop using it and now my headset plugs directly into a port on my pc, still sound great but don't really have the easy volume functions anymore. All in all this is a really great headset for a decent price and if you take decent care of your belongings it could last you a decent amount of time. I'm just leaving this review now because they were so good I'm getting a new pair as a replacement so I can retire these old ones.

I've had issues with gaming headsets for years, until I came across these. So far, I've purchased three HyperX Cloud II. Older headsets would die, break easily or the sound quality would be greatly below standard. The mic it comes with isn't the best, however I use a standalone mic and therefore I cannot comment too greatly on this. However, has headphones they are among the best for me and amazing value for money. My first pair (Pink & White) lasted several years before I needed to purchase new ones. I'd never ran into any issues with daily use, so I decided to buy a second pair. I broke my second pair (My own fault), and immediately re-purchased these. The noise cancellation is amazing for those who do not want to hear anything beyond their headphones. I don't hear the loud parties happening outside, or frankly people walking into my room or talking next to me. The audio quality is perfect and I've not ran into any issues. The 7.1 surround sound is fine, but I typically don't use it as I feel the audio is better without it personally. For gaming purposes, these headphones are a gift. My friends will always comment on my insane hearing in audio intense games (Dayz or Hunt Showdown), as I can always hear an enemy so much as crunch a leaf. They offer great sound that works for an immersive audio experience, not matter the game. They are extremely comfortable. Other headphones typically give me a headache, however these sit comfortably. The wire is quite long, and does get twisted and curled a little easily but hasn't posed an issue for me. Overall one of the best gaming purchases I have made, and will continue to make when my current ones decide they have had enough in a good few years. :)

Firstly the audio quality is to be expected; absolutely perfect. To be honest though I can't tell the difference in some of the high end headphones. The technology isn't so different to call this revolutionary or anything but it's a step above and beyond from ear plugs. The mic unplugs from a jack in the left ear bud, I really appriciate the option to remove it as I use a seperate mic. For this reason I can't comment on it as I don't and have never used it. Though in my experience the quality is just fine for what you need it for and audio quality is still charming despite it not being crystal clear. The removeability of the mic means I never need to move or position it out of the way and can keep it safely stored inside the box in case I need it later. The USB control box is an extender and can only be used if you choose to connect the headset's permenantly affixed 3.5mm Mini stereo jack plug into it - this will add an additional 2m to the length of the cable. The Mini stereo jack plug cable is 1m and is permenantly affixed to the headset. 3m is the max length once everything is connected. There is one drawback for the control box and it is my only real complaint about this product; when you activate the 7.1 option it glows from underneath with an agressively powerful red. To fix this I just taped over it with some electrical tape to avoid the small LED from lighting up my room. It's too much. The ear cushions are comfortable, of course. Though I transitioned from Razer Kraken Pro to these I am not use to the oval shape. It's still very comfortable and barely noticable but I do sometimes become aware of the strange shape that's pressing on the side of my head. I have found that with previous headphones I have been self-consious of the size of the headband and ear buds but the HyperX Cloud is thin enough for me to never worry about it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a crown of silliness on my head. The colours aren't distracting either and blend well with I think any set up. And it looks amazing. The grey gunmetal is conservatively used as to not be overwhelming in its design. The grey gradient transitions nicely from band to bud. It is beautiful for an item you will rarely see if used correctly. Again I don't feel self-consious about using this headset as it lacks unnecessary aesthetics.

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.

hij was perfect totdat ik er vandaag achter kwam dat de microfoon gewoon geen zin meer heeft

Hade ett par likadana som höll bra i 6 år, på sjunde året började konstlädret att vittra sönder (lurarna funkade lurarna lika bra för det), köpte ett par likadana eftersom jag är så nöjd och ville ha ett par nya fräscha.

He estado usando los HyperX Cloud II para jugar en PC y también en PS4, y mi experiencia ha sido muy positiva. Estos cascos ofrecen un sonido envolvente virtual que realmente mejora la inmersión en los juegos, permitiendo distinguir direcciones y detalles sonoros con claridad. Lo que más me ha gustado: 1- La comodidad es sobresaliente gracias a la espuma viscoelástica en las almohadillas y la diadema, lo que permite usarlos durante horas sin molestias. 2- La calidad de los materiales y el diseño robusto transmiten sensación de durabilidad y buen acabado. 3- La cancelación pasiva del ruido funciona bien, ayudando a aislar del entorno sin necesidad de tecnología activa. 4- La conectividad USB para PC y Mac facilita su uso, y el micrófono tiene buena captación para chats en juegos. 5- La inclusión de una tarjeta de control para volumen, mute y activar el 7.1 virtual es práctica, aunque en PS4 no funciona del todo bien. Puntos menos positivos: - El control desde la tarjeta USB no es plenamente funcional en PS4, por lo que hay que ajustar volumen y otros parámetros desde la consola o el sistema. - El sonido envolvente es virtual, por lo que aunque mejora la experiencia, no es igual que un sistema 7.1 real. Tips útiles: - Para aprovechar el 7.1 virtual, es recomendable usarlo en PC con la tarjeta USB incluida. - Si los usas en PS4, ten en cuenta que el control de volumen y 7.1 debe hacerse desde el sistema, ya que la tarjeta no se integra completamente. - Usa la funda de transporte para protegerlos cuando no los uses o los lleves fuera. En resumen, los HyperX Cloud II son unos cascos de gaming que combinan comodidad, buena calidad de sonido y robustez, ideales para jugadores que buscan mejorar su experiencia sonora sin gastar en gamas muy altas. Son una compra recomendable para quienes valoran el confort y un sonido envolvente eficaz, especialmente en PC y Mac.
