7.1 surround sound struggles to come through
Muddy low ranges
The headband needs more padding
The volume switches on the in-line remote are naff
Headphone cord doesn't detach
Flimsy carry case
Nothing at the time of review
Virtual surround sound is not as good as the real deal
Imperfect fit, Hard-to-reach button, No hardware volume controls
There's nothing that exciting about the Cloud Earbuds. That's good, because it means there's nothing to get in the way of the solid sound and dead-simple functionality. It's also a little disappointing, though, because with a few hardware innovations, the...

Audio quality and comfort will always be subjective so choosing a gaming headset is as difficult as shopping for PC monitors, if not much harder. we recommend taking the time to try these gaming headsets out from retail stores near you so you can hear an...

Incredibly comfortable, great value, solid sound quality,
Harder to mute, no mic sidetone
While the Cloud II couldn't claim the overall top score, it is still one of our absolute favorites when it comes to these products. It did well across the board, delivering a great performance at an even better price. While some other products have slight...

The HyperX Cloud II is attractive for many reasons, including its modular and comfortable design, premium build quality, great 7.1 surround and stereo sound, and affordable price. It's also great for laptop gamers since it obviates the need for a dedicate...
Abstract: Open up a world of detail other gamers will never know – the rustle of a camper's boot, the scuttle in a distant vent. The HyperX Cloud II's independent audio and microphone volume control lets you adjust not only sound volume but also mic volume and easi...

The Cloud II's are rated at less than 2% Total Harmonic Distortion . In simplistic terms, this is how accurate the equipment is in reproducing audio and how much the sound can be distorted from the source material. In the realms of audiophile equipment...
The best sounding sub $100 headset to date, Sturdy construction, Handled everything I tossed at it, both gaming and movies like a champ,
That darned lid for the microphone is easily lost, Not able to use mute or volume controls when in use on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, 7.1 virtual surround sound, while it works may not be enjoyed by everyone
The HyperX Cloud may be used in both USB and 3.5mm configurations, and is compatible with PCs, Macs, the PlayStation 4, mobile devices, and the Xbox One with a dedicated adapter.For optimal use with PlayStation 4, unplug the headset jack from the USB cont...

High quality sound, Comfortable to wear, Detachable microphone, Price, Compatible with PC, Mac,PS4, Xbox One and mobile devices
7.1 surround sound only works on PC, Separate adapter needed when used with Xbox One
At £74.99 the HyperX Cloud II 7.1 gaming headset is extremely impressive in all aspects. It looks and feels exquisite, one special note is that it is very comfortable to wear with help from the memory foam headband, which doesn't make you feel like you've...
Abstract: The Kingston HyperX Cloud II gaming headset are well built and should provide for years of enjoyment. The sound quality is very good for music and movies, and the virtual surround does a good job to simulate that you are in the game. I am never overly con...
