HyperX Cloud II Pro Gaming Headset (Red) reviews

This headset is complete. Everything about it is right on point. The build, the sound quality is amazing, the mic, all the features like detachable mic and standard mp3 compatibility and 7.1 surround, the overall design, the packaging (which I'm definitely keeping. Seriously who packages this well on a $130 headset-!). I can't fault this at all, and having tested a fair few others in this price range it absolutely blows them out of the water. Kingston have done a fantastic job, I couldn't be happier, and I have no idea how they managed to do all this on a headset so comparatively cheap. I really don't think anything competes with this headset, you won't be disappointed.

This headset is really high quality and the unboxing was a very pleasant experience. I feel like this headset could be priced up to $300 due to the comfort it offers and the rich sound, which also includes optional 7.1. Setting up the headphones was a breeze, no annoying software needed and it only requires a single USB port. I would recommend these headphones to anyone who is wanting to get a high quality headset at a low price. There is also a tonne of extra features these headphones offer, such as a detachable tongle + mic, to the carry bag, airport splitter or the optional fabric muffs. It's incredible how good this product is.

There is no better headset. How the hell have they managed to do this without costing $350– I love the build and the comfort and… hell, everything about this headset ticks the boxes. I am now a fanboy. I won't buy any other brand again. Thank you Kingston.

I love this headset, great sound quality and easy to use. Only issue is that the mic is average.

So this headset is awesome for the price seriously feels like a $200+ headset. The unboxing was awesome. Now Out of the box the USB soundcard does not work on PS4 you will have to plug the headset into the 3.5 on the bottom of the controller (doing this has good sound but by far not what this headset is capable of). but Kingston changed this so if you plug the USB sound card into your computer and go here https://www.hyperxgaming.com/…nloads/87032 And click update firmware (remember have the soundcard plugged into your pc) follow the instructions download the firmware and update the soundcard then it will be compatible with the PS4 the sound difference is insane so this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Now PS4 users looking for a great low price headset get this the update to the soundcard firmware definitely makes it worth it.

Most Comfortable Headset I Have Ever Worn

Absolutely amazing headset! The sound quality is 10/10, and comes with optional 7.1 surround sound compatibility, has its own remote too so you don't have to tab out of things to lower the volume! One complaint is that the microphone was a real pain to set up, but once it had been set up there were no problems! Mic quality is okay, not too bad not too good, but just fine for home gaming or talking to friends! For the price it sells at, get it! You won't regret it.

When I was first looking at headsets I owned a PS4, this headset was not made for PS4 but worked fine. When I finally got a PC the true power and potential of these headphones was shown to me. Perfect ammount of bass to hear booms without vibration, crisp and clear noise and amazing noise cancelation. This headset goes from Spartan to Kratos when you turn on the sorround sound. The whole world comes alive and you feel like you really are in it. For the price this headset is a bargain, and an absolute god in the headset market.

I purchased this headset 2 years ago. This same headset is still in perfect working order. Still amazingly comfortable. Still amazing sound. I use this on Xbox, PS4 and Pc as well as with my phone for music and videos. All work great. Mic is decent for the price point but it's the comfort and sound that really make this headset one of the best. As someones who frequently has headsets and headphones die on me or fall apart I'm very impressed. Can take a bit of rough, thoughtless handling and still be perfect. 10/10

The sound quality with the 7.1 surround sound is immaculate, great for watching movies with. The microphone will suffice but it is not the greatest on the planet. It makes up for that with the game sound quality (I play on Xbox).

Unfortunately, t here is a mildly loud static that I've only found out only happens to this headset, and has no fix. It is much more noticeable when no sound is playing, and god damn, it sucks.

The Cloud II are one of the best headset on the market right now. They give a nice rich sound quality no matter what you are listening to. For gaming I can spot enemies behind or near me by the amazing surround sound quality. Although the headsets mic isn't the greatest quality it is still good enough for online gaming and/or Skype/Discord chat. Paring this headset with a Blue Yeti or equivalent Microphone you're on your way to becoming a professional streamer/Youtuber. 5 Stars!

Its an amazing headset with great sound and the mic has amazing quality,the detachable mic makes for great use off pc the cups are very comfortable I would recommend these anyday :)

I purchased these after hearing good things, the sound quality on PC due to what might be the USB adapter sounds tinny and has no depth to it, I would suggest if you can afford this headset for a PC do yourself a favor and spend an extra $100 for a headset with some good sound quality and a mic that actually works from the get go.

Has good packaging though.

Headset is rlly comfortable and I can say that it would be comfortable to wear for long sessions. Build quality is nice, good soft materials are used and overall a good headset for the price.

Picked these up on sale and wasn't really expecting much but oh man the sound quality on these are really damn good. Mic quality is also really damn good and comes with a volume adjuster for mic/audio. This is DEFINITELY a must buy if you're looking for something affordable that has insane quality.

The mic is removable which is handy!

I orderd it and went to bed then it turned up in less then like 24 hours

2nd pair, real good after 5 years. Good quality feel and sound. Have bought for my 3 sons

These are awesome headsets for the price

I'm a passionate gamer, and have owned headsets from many other brands – Steelseries, Logitech, Turtle Beach, Sony, Panasonic, you name it. None of them hold a candle to this headset for audio quality.

It would be nice to have separate voice and game channels, but for a headset of this price, its hard to complain. The quality is miles ahead of the price tag.

Great product, I can confidently say you can buy this without hesitation.

The sound is to bassy and has no adjustment or drivers for adjustment good if you don't care but the mic is overly sensitive picks

Its decent but if you wanna record something or stream I advise getting a mic separate.

Strong build quality, comfortable to wear. Mic is quiet though so have to have mic quite close to your mouth. The 7.1 surround button makes it sound trash. Overall good.

Having a lot of good review I decided to go on this as my first gaming headset, and I confirmed that this is one worthy purchased! Surround sound quality is great that I seldom use it because it feels like it’ll give me heart attack everytime there’s an explosion or enemy suddenly pops up in front of me in warzone. Audio/Mic is good according to my friends and teammates. ItS comfortable to my head as well as it goes with a proper care. Overall I'm happy and satisfied with this one!

Got these based on reviews. My only issue (and a friend with same headset) is the mic is too quiet and can't be turned up loud enough.

The sound is great for gaming, just nobody can hear you talking.

VERY comfortable! And sound great on my windows gaming PC!

For the price you can't go wrong. Sound is excellent, comfort is outstanding. If using with PS4 or Xbox One consoles check online reviews regarding 7.1 sound before buying.

Amazing customer service, flawless delivery on time no problems only a happy customer! thanks to all the crew at mighty ape :)

Love this headset. Such a good buy

I recommend this headset is awesome!

Everything to a very high standard right down to even the packaging. Extremely well built and awesome sound quality.

I was recommended this headset by a friend and wasn't sure if it would live up to expectations. However, it does. Very happy with fit/comfort. Looks, feels and sounds like a much more expensive headset.

Dank.

Was originally looking at some pricier headsets but became curious about the huge amount of positive reviews all over the web about this particular headset. Ended up buying it and let me just say that the price is definitely a bargain for what you receive. The quality of the materials and sound is excellent and yet it doesn't break your wallet-! I am extremely happy about this product! Get one yourself. You won't regret it!

Honestly, the reviews speak for themselves. Thousands of 5/4 star reviews don’t lie. So I won’t waste much time writing a large review, as it speaks for itself, but this is a great headset, with no echo, sound cancellation, and a good mic, great sound, great base. Couldn’t ask for more with an excellent price tag

The hyper x cloud II PRO headset is the best headset I’ve ever used and that is hard to say considering I have used top of the line turtle beach headsets over my 7–8 year gaming history. The Best feature is how soft and comfortable the earmuffs are. After a very long gaming session my ears have never been sore at all as they are not only over the ear headphones but they are very comfortable. They are a very good quality headset that provides a very long cable plug in. This headset has a strong frame with a nice metal finish. However the little mix amp connected to the cord that comes with the headset, unfortunately, does not allow you to change your sound on ps4, but it does on PC. I found this to be the only downside, but it does not affect me to much as I keep my sound the same anyway. All in all this headset is a top of the line gaming headset; perfect for long gaming sessions and definitely worth the price. I highly recommend the Hyper X Cloud II Pro’s.

Built quality is very premium. Gaming with them is so good. Very comfy. Long cable. Detachable mic. Reasonably priced. I think that's enough to give it five stars.

I have never seen such an outstanding amount of effort put into headphones. The packaging it arrived in was amazing, the sound quality alone feels like it is worth more than what it is priced for. It does not feel cheap at all and best of all, it provides the most comfortable experience when using them and I personally use this for music and a great gaming experience. It comes with a mesh bag so I will definitely be using this everywhere I go as it does have a detachable mic and the look of the headphones are very high class. Marvellous job from HyperX as well as MightyApe for the fast and secure shipping. Thanks team!

Would reccomend

The quality of equipment and packaging make it feel like a high-end headset, the sound is superb and voice crisp. Yet for price it hangs out with all the gaming gear. No issues with drivers or compatibility. Highly recommend.

Great build quality, awesome sound coming from the headphones. Only small draw back is the mic is a little quite, but nothing that mic boost settings can't fix

Great quality, great price. If you’re after just a good pair of headphones these will do the trick.

Was looking for a great comfortable headset for gaming, and I was not disappointed. Would recommend to anyone

There's a reason the top eSports teams use these headphones. I bought these a couple of years ago. Still going strong. Can't fault them. Virtual 7.1 is great for media with 5.1 audio. Packaging and extra carry bag is great. Used these headphones for everything. Music on PC, gaming on Xbox, even on Emirates in flight enntertainment! Thoroughly recommend these headphones.

These are legit one mickey headset would guarantee for anyone that is a gamer worth the money and the box it arrives in is mint

So light

These headphones are so perfect. The mic quality is lovely and so is sound. Noise is cancelled out a lot more than any other headphones. The fact that you can control mic and speaker volume separately is great especially for me since I'm so damn loud in discord. The fact that there are no drivers for the headphones seems sketchy at first but it's really convenient If you have the money to spare for this and you're looking for a new pair of headphones then don't hesitate. If your poor however, then save up because these headphones will be the best thing that ever happen to you.

Omg. I have previously bought logitech only. This time decided to branch out. AMAZING build quality. AMAZING bass. AMAZING case. 15/10 would buy again

I've been using this headset for over a year and have never had an issue with it. It is very sturdy, so hasn't taken any damage when I've been clumsy and accidentally dropped it. The audio quality is very high, whether in 7.1 surround or stereo I can hear everything. The best part I like about these headphones is how universal it is with other systems, allowing me to use it on my phone, computer and ps4 with no decrease in quality for each system as a result. I definitely recommend these to anybody, especially with its price as they do last!

As someone who is heavily into video editing and workflows this headset is amazing! The audio is crystal clear with very effective noise canceling. The mic has great noise canceling as well. The external sound card has a great software surround sound and is very enjoyable.

I dropped it accidentally and nothing happened. Very good sound quality.

This Headset is amazing, really well built, comfortable. The sound is pretty neat, it has a great sound isolation for the outside sounds and the surrounded 7.1 make it real experience in gaming.

Surround sound 7.1 really gives this headset the upper edge when it comes to those intense clutch moments with gaming! Wouldn't ask for a better headset!

Man its comfortable around my ears and I've tried it on my pc,ps4,xbox1 the sound and chat are so crisp MUST BUY.

Cheers Hyper and Mighty ape.

This headset is a big step up from any others that I have tried, the quality and comfort surpasses any other headsets in the price range, the USB sound card though they say doesn't work on consoles it sure does, the only gripe I have is that the interchangeable ear cups are extremely difficult to change, though the are both extremely comfortable, the mic quality is also very good as so I have been told by my friends while in a party with them. The clarity of the 53mm drivers do exceptionally with whatever task your doing, be it listening to music or having a gaming session the headset is very comfortable and sounds amazing too.

Love the noise cancellation & doesn't pick up much background and has good microphone quality A++ for this headset I would recommend it to anyone awesome for gaming.

The audio and build quality of this headset is very good and I would definitely recommend it.

Epic sauce!! Bought 3 pairs of other expensive brands returned all within one day..... Rubbish, unfathomable that headsets that cost almost $500 can be turdbox, But the cloud II hyperx are the best headset I've ever owned and pricepoint they are fantastic pants. Can't rate them higher. 5/5 for performance 5/5 for comfort 5/5 for price point 5/5 for surround sound stage quality 5/5 for packaging

It's the best headset I've ever used. I wasn't expecting such a clear sound from a headset that cheap. Comfortable to wear as well. Money well spent!

Great quality and really comfortable

I got this headset for Christmas and I love it!!! It has great surround sound and fantastic mic quality. It is so comfy. I hope the cloud 3 comes out, there maybe padding everywhere. Anyway luv it!

Wow. I really love this thing. It sits so comfortably on my head, much more than any other headset that I've worn before. I have had a $100 dollar PC/Console headset before, but it wasn't really that astounding in any aspect, and soon the in-built microphone broke pretty quickly. For my peasant Mac gaming, I've used the Apple earphones, which have served well as a temporary audio output, but having a strong, well-built headset in use for my ears is a MAJOR difference.

I haven't worn many headsets, but this is by FAR the best out of them all. And based off of other reviews here, and on other sites, I can see that my views are reflected by others as well.

Thank you so much, HyperX, for creating this fantastic piece of technology!

This headset is beast because its very comfortable not like other headsets. Also the mic works awesome as well as the headphones. Overall love the headset and will recommend it to friends and family. :D

These headphones are comfortable and sound great! Although quite heavy, it is almost unnoticeable due to the excellent padding. The drivers sound punchy and deep but still retain and deliver a well-rounded sound. The packaging was really nice and the product was delivered in a well-padded box. My only gripe is that I am not really a fan of the ‘virtual surround sound’, but all in all, well worth the price.

These headphones are premium quality at a bargain price, well made, great sound and very comfortable, if your even thinking of buying these do yourself a favour and press buy now!

I am more than happy with this headset. It is even better than I expected. It is USB, but worked without hassles on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 and 16.04 as well as Windows 7.

Best headset I've ever owned, and that's coming from someone who has owned $300 gaming headsets, great job hyper x

A comfortable 5 stars for this product. At its price it is really well constructed, feels like it is made from quality materials and comes with a spare pair of cup covers.

Audio wise it sounds really nice. Using it on ps4 and it has a good range, sounds nice with music aswell.

My sony wireless headset hurt my ears after long periods of play, these are comfortable and put no pressure on my ears.

For the price, you cant go wrong.

Amazing headset. I can wear this for hours and not get tired. Excellent Audio and Microphone Quality. However, the wire for me often dangles and since it is braided, it is very hard to untangle and becomes a pain on the long run. Nevertheless, good product for the price of the headset.

I like this headset, very good for the money. My only (small) complaint is that it's a lot heavier than my old headphones. I assume I'll get used to that :)

After hunting high and low for some high end but also affordable headphones I was guided to these and after reading lots of written and also Youtube reviews it was a done deal to get a set of these and must say these headphones are AWESOME. Super comfortable, Very easy to set up, very very good speaker quality … Just what I needed for doing RBG's and PVP.

Don't look any further. Every single aspects of this piece of gear is just worth it. Period.

Hands down the best gaming headset for its price range, so comfortable I could probably wear it all day, and sounds great.

Shipping was fast as always.

Value for money. 10 Build quality. 10 Comfort. 9 What more can I say!!!

Great headset for gaming! Quick turn around of order, was delivered before the time expected which was great so I could use them for our next gaming session! Awesome!!!

These are really great and would recommend them to other people.

Great headset with amazing sound quality But headband a little tight and also Aux cord is too short. Surround sound is amazing and competes well with my Asti a40

This headset is fantastic. High quality build with leather/velour ear cushion options. USB and 3.5mm jack options to connect to PS4/XBone/PC. This headset will stand up against ASTRO and the other bigwigs at a fraction of the cost. Plus they are red and black. Purchasing this headset was an easy decision!

It is very good as it shows…i was so happy and satisfied with this headphone especially when I get to unplug the mic and the plug to make it 3.5 mm jack-port to use it on my smartphone AAAA+++

From the packing, build quality to the sound these are great cans. Use the on ps4, computer and work well on iPhone and iPad, including for calls. Good for FaceTime. There really is no outside noise, they are actually better than my Bose which have active noise cancellation and cost $450
