HyperX Cloud II

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 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.

I absolutely love these headsets to the point I actually bought a second pair. The biggest positives about this headset to me is they are extremely comfortable to wear and the sound quality is great. Regarding comfort the headsets come with two sets of ear cushions; the one that's pre-installed is a faux leather style but there is also a set of fabric ones that come included if you want to swap them out. I stuck with the faux leather ones that were pre-installed and I just can't overemphasize how comfortable these things are to wear even for a long durations. They are adjustable and relatively flexible so I think these work very well for most head shapes and sizes. It's not typically a problem but on hot days sometimes it can get a little sweaty with the headsets on but generally it's not a problem. I'd also say they are relatively light and also they don't "overly squeeze" your head. Regarding sound quality these are very solid for day to day use. They are not audiophile grad headsets by any means but they still do a fantastic job for gaming and casual music listening. They do support 7.1 surround sound emulations which you can enable and disable via the controller for the headsets; generally I keep it turned off for personal preference but it does work and is an option to use. Speaking of the controller, it also has volume up/down adjustment which comes in handy if you don't want to go through game settings and want to quickly on the fly adjust volume levels. The microphone is passable. Again, it's by no means something you'll probably want to stream with if you're trying to achieve "professional" level of audio quality but it's also not bad. For chatting with friends/teammates it'll definitely get the job done. It is removable which is a plus To plug in the headphones you can choose to use input jack or connect the input jack to the set controller in which case you'll get the option to use USB port. This is great because if I want to use my headsets to listen to music on my phone via standard input jack it works or if I want to connect via USB it works as well. Onto the quality of the headset - yeah it's great. My first pair lasted me at least 5 years and only broke due to carelessness on my end. These feel well built, they've withstood the test of time and the gun metal accents look really nice. They're a solid choice and would recommend them

جودة عااااالية جدا من هايبر اكس السماعة لها معي ٣ سنوات وولا واجهت فيها اي مشكلة مع ان استخدامي دفش و اذا عصبت ارميها وولا واجهت اي مشكلة فيها و بس فيها مشكلة وحدة وهي ان الصوت 7.1 مايشبك على الجوال بس على الكمبيوتر

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.

かれこれ5年くらい使ったけどすごくよかった。低音は強め。7.1はあんまり使わなかった。今までありがとう。次はcloud 3sにします。
