HyperX 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

Great headset! Use it daily for work. Love that it has many adjustable audio and mic settings and a physical mute button. And the ear cover pieces are comfortable for 8hr sessions and great fitment. No connection issues. Very good value. Easy setup. Plug and play. Look like a very high end gaming setup.

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.

After trying a bunch of stuff out, I think I've finally found the wireless headset that works for me, and I just wanted to post some thoughts in case it helps anyone else. For some background, I've been looking for a decent set of wireless headphones that I could use while gaming that would still let me get up and walk around since I often need to check on my kids or help my wife with something while I'm gaming, and I still would like to be able to chat with my friends on Discord. I tried the SteelSeries Arctis 7P, but the sound wasn't that great and the clamp was more than what I was looking for in a headset. Enter the Hyperx Cloud II Wireless. I'll go over the pros and cons below: Pros: Extremely comfortable. Wore this while gaming for an entire evening out of the box, and didn't notice any pain due to clamping or anything. It's become even more comfortable after wearing it for a couple of weeks. Battery life is great. Never pushed it to the limit, but it's rated for 30 hours, and it has USB-C charging (should be standard now, but not all headphones have this) The directional audio is actually pretty good for closed back headphones. I play a lot of Call of Duty, and I have no trouble discerning where footsteps were coming from or what direction a Spy Plane was (at least with how accurate CoD spatial audio is). Range is excellent. I was able to walk to my kitchen which is at least 30-40 feet away through 2 walls, and I still was able to chat and hear Discord. Latency is virtually unnoticeable. I don't have a way to test, but most online tests I've found have clocked it in at under 15ms. Mic is better than expected. It's not going to beat a wired USB mic or the Antlion wireless modmic, but it actually sounds pretty good. I was pleasantly surprised because most of the online mic tests I've heard for it sound pretty awful, but my own mic recordings sound good, and my friends on Discord say I sound great. Cons: Does not isolate very well. As I mentioned before, this is actually something I like because I want to be able to hear things in the background like my kids or if my wife asks for something, but if you're looking for a closed-back headset that isolates noise, this isn't it. No Bluetooth. Some headsets offer dual channels or one or the other, but this only works with the provided dongle. Your ears will get a little warm after longer gaming sessions, but that seems to be common with most wireless headsets, and I barely even notice it now.

Today my 2nd pair arrived... The picture you see is the 1st pair I owned and why these are not getting a 5 out of 5 but I will 100% tell you to still buy them. Let's play good bad and ugly. -THE GOOD- SOUND - great, these were perfect for the footsteps of fellow tarkov tryhards giving you enough clarity to know if it was left right up down or middle. The base, mid, and highs are all good. If your a gamer the 53mm drivers are more than adequate to rattle your ears. I like the rest of you, want the very best I can get for my dollar and these really perform well. MIC - it's actually not that bad. The noise cancellation does a good enough job that it will miss about 90% of ambient noises in the room. From Rust players making the mistake of thinking I was a YouTube content maker because of the clarity and smooth output that the mic picks up. It's not a 500 dollar mic but it's way better than everything in its price range. COMFORT- Now I'm not telling you to touch grass, but please do so.....BUT for the rest of us having extended periods of playtime we all can agree that ear aches, head aches, hot spots, pinching, and all around suckyness of discomfort around your head will wreck any play session. Having a adult large dome I was limited in what really worked and what I tested, but out of around 7 headsets these are hands down the most comfy for long periods, the faux leather is soft, the band around your head is light and it cups around your ears are soft as can be. Noise suppression from the outside is also great keeping real life from ever being able to let you know it's still there. 👌 BATTERY - Just like a new phone you will have awe aspiring battery life at the start but what about by the end of the life cycle? Still not bad actually. With a full charge it still can put out around 12 hours before needing a charge. Charging still is fast and takes maybe 20 minutes to go from 0 to 100%. If you just plug it in at the end of the night you will never worry about it dying. WIRELESS RANGE - Now obviously this is dependent on how many walls and interference and whatnot, but the cloud II's were able to go at least 6 feet further than the turtle beachs top model with less distortion. I could go anywhere in my house and even 75 feet away outside and still send and receive clearly. -THE BAD- So those plastic pieces of junk holding those red frames in. As you saw in the photos both sides were broken and I know why exactly they failed. For all you with kids, significant others or anytime your keeping an ear out which means one headphone is pulled usually off right? Well the design flaw is when you add just that little bit of flex the plastic housing holding it in eventually is going to snap. Now believe me that I 100% have dropped these countless times, pulled on them, used them, out the set through its paces that any reasonable consumer would. And for what it's worth I'm not surprised these failed after 2.5 years. Can't really be that mad, but something to be aware of. MUTE BUTTON - The button finally failed which was the end result of maybe pressing it a few thousand times. Just quit the other day giving me that last reason to ditch this old pair. - THE UGLY- there is not really I can hate on this thing in the looks dept. Some people want the rgb experience in their face and ears beaming from their headset, I would rather have something where my money goes to better drivers, better noise cancellation and weight reduction...they nailed all that in these. Why did I purchase again? 2.5 years of abuse, great sound, nice mic, wireless, price to my door was $114.00 which is phenomenal at its price. I've got 260 dollar headsets in the box now because I'm sticking with these. Maybe they addressed the plastic retainers in the cloud III but at 164.00 I'm kinda broke ATM and these I know for a fact work just fine. Stop looking, get them. You will not be disappointed.

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.

These work great! I've been using these for over 2 years now, and they are wonderful! Battery life is about 2-3 days of continuous use on a good day! Range for these with the dongle is quite far, I can go upstairs in my house and they still reach great! Mic quality isn't horrible but if you want good mic audio, I suggest an external mic, as this is a flaw with most mics that are built in. These also are quite durable, made of steel and very soft padding.

TL;DR Mic is extremely quiet (even with firmware updated), cuts your conversations because no audio is detected at 100% vol. can not change the mic for a universal one This is the the first headset I ever regret buying, I have the wired version and its better than this in every posible aspect. CONS - Mic is useless as it is, or is reversed, it has 2 mic entries on the tip, an omnidirectional mic in the front( facing the Screen, what for?), and what I believe is a noise canceling mic on the back (facing your mouth) which barely detects your voice (low sensitivity), this means you it will not catch anything even if amplified (no audio in, nothing to amplify), yet, if you force twist the omnidirectional mic to your mouth side, you'll be able to get audio (and amplify it). - The problem with twisting the mic is that it slowly twist back and you ended up with silent mic. - It has a poka yoke plugin so you cannot connect it backwards (lol right) - The mic uses a special 4 way 3.5 mm conector due a LED on the tip to indicate muting, so changing the mic for a better one is not viable right away (lol again, man who designed this?) - No external input or blue tooth, there are headsets that have 3 way inputs simultaneously (dongle, BT, wired) for $50, at this price they could at least put a 3.5mm input. FIXABLE - Now if you are crafty with electronics (soldering) there are 2 ways to "kind of" fix this to a workable level. FIRST. cut the mic extension housing twist the tip and put it back and use heat shrink tubing to fix it in position. SECOND If you really need noise cancelling mic, then you can cut the housing and add a DIY extension in order to leave the mic right in the middle of your mouth, this works way better than simply twisting, but is harder to achieve and it will probably not look cool (unless you are a crafty pro). PROS - The audio quality is good (for what it is) - Connection is super stable, nothing mess with it (cheaper headsets have issues if Bluetooth devices are around) - Very good battery life.

I've had this headset for 4 years and I have nothing but good things to say about it. It's my daily use headset and god knows I've put it through the ringer. It feels great, super convenient mute button for when the mic is plugged in, great range, durable build quality. I frequently nap with this headset on and it's survived without any issues. I've had to replace the earpads (I recommend the foam replacement cups), and should replace the headband soon, but that's true of basically any headset. I can't speak to the mic quality but it's good enough to survive work meetings so it's good enough for me. Also, after 4 years this son of a gun still lasts ages without a recharge. I've seen the battery life of wireless devices absolutely balls it after a year but it's still going strong. tl;dr well worth the money. Get the foam replacement ear pads for an even better experience.

Aggiornamento : dopo mesi di utilizzo confermo tutto quello che ho scritto qui sotto, sono diventate indispensabili. Hyper, i miei più sinceri complimenti! Recensione : PREMETTO CHE QUESTA RECENSIONE È VALIDA PER CHI HA NEXT GEN, IN PARTICOLARE PS5, E COMPRA VERSIONE WIRELESS (anche se le cavo so uguali) E finalmente eccoci qua, dopo più di due mesi di prova e messe a confronto con le regine della categoria, ovvero Con le niente popò de meno che sua maestà (o almeno pensavo) astro a50. Rimango tutt ora sbalordito da quanto io mi debba ricredere pensando che il prezzo faccia sempre la qualità, è quanto in questo caso pensiero sia più sbagliato... 300 euro di cuffie contro in questo caso ,le mie sono hyper xcloud 2 wireless quindi 150 euro(ma se prendete cavo solo 80) e ragazzi miei, parlando di consolle, quindi in questo caso ps5, quanto rimango deluso dalle astro e felicemente sorpreso da queste hyper...... Qualità del suono e comodità nel indossarle erano le mie priorità, e se io parto da un prezzo di 300 santissimi euro per delle cuffie, pretendo, esigo! che sia tutto al top, packaging, qualità materiali, innovazione in tecnologia, comodità e tutto il resto insomma, poco ci manca che mi debbano fare il caffè.... E con questa recensione tengo a farvi capire, che per me queste, al momento, su una consolle next gen, siano LE MIGLIORI CUFFIE PRESENTI Sul MERCATO perché rispondo a tutte le mie esigenze elencate prima , anche a confronto con cuffie ben più care.... Audio chiaro, cristallino, bassi ben presenti ma non troppo, al punto da trovare un perfetto bilanciamento e rendere tutte le sessioni di gioco, di tutti i generi di gioco, PERFETTE! Connessioni di ultima tipologia ovvero tipo c, durata della batteria nelle hyper wireless, imbarazzante, promettono veramente quello che il produttore dice, tante' che ogni tanto mi stupisco di come una batteria su cuffie possa durare così tanto. E LA COSA PIÙ IMPORTANTE :Hyper in questo caso assicura che siano per next gen, e ragazzi miei LO SONO... Nessun diabolico software da installare. Nessun scervellamento per calibrare, settare, modificare, alzare, abbassare! Nessun sclero per semplicemente GIOCARE AD UN GIOCO. Le tiro fuori dalla confezione, le indosso, e woilà, alzi abbassi il volume, muti o non muti il microfono, e i tuoi scleri li dedichi semplicemente per vincere o perdere partite online. Non per settare cuffie che ti sto profumatamente pagando e faccio il lavoro che in realtà dovresti fare tu!!! detto questo ci tengo a precisare che questa recensione vale sipratutto per chi ha next gen o comunque consolle! Regà i soldi spendeteli come volete, ma se come me siete convinti che i soldi fanno differenza nella qualità, beh provato voi stessi e poi mi direte! Bella!

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.
