Quite a few months have passed since we last reviewed a gaming headset but since we finally got out hands on Batman Arkham Knight we decided to use it with some of the gaming peripherals we have here (along with Battlefield 4, Planetside 2 and Star Citizen) including several gaming headsets.

- Build Quality (Flexible/Durable Aluminum Frame; - Excellent Audio Quality (Crystal Clear Mids/Highs; - Very Good Bass Levels; - 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound USB Card; - Comfortable (Size/Weight/Cushions; - Removable Boom Microphone (Improved Model; - Available In 3 Colors

- No Control Software; - Price (For Some

Of all the headsets I've had the privilege of using, the performance of the Kingston HyperX Cloud II Pro Gaming Headset exceeds its price point. The audio quality alone is nothing short of fantastic to experience during any gaming.

High quality design and materials; Fantastic audio quality; Very comfortable on the head

Last year, Kingston shocked many gamers by releasing the HyperX Cloud, a surprisingly good gaming headset from folks who are known for selling storage drives. The company's new HyperX Cloud II retains its predecessor's cozy, stylish design while adding virtual 7.1 surround sound for extra immersion.

Best-in-class comfort; Stylish; lightweight design; Includes both pleather and plush ear covers

Lackluster bass; No software for customizing sound

Kingston was off to a great start on their first venture into the gaming headset segment when they unveiled the first HyperX Cloud . Needless to say, they're trying to ride the momentum with their second gaming headset – the Kingston HyperX Cloud II .

Utilitarian design; Aluminum build; Soft padding; Interchangeable ear pads; Durable braided cables; Useful bundled accessories; Large 53mm drivers; Outstanding audio quality for its price; Affordable for what it has to offer; Improved detachable microphone

Rubber cap on line-out port can easily get lost; 7.1 surround sound is good but still miles away from true 7.1 surround sound quality

Great headset for the price, does the job on my Xbox one.I tried Turtle beach XO Four and XO One these are better hands down I love the way the mic swivels up to mute.

Last year's Kingston HyperX Cloud despite being positioned as a gaming headset was well-rounded enough for all kinds of uses. We even recommended it over the more bombastic Asus Strix Pro . Kingston has already launched an upgrade and quite unsurprisingly it is called the Kingston HyperX Cloud II.

Great fit; Decent surround sound; Good value for money

Cable could have been detachable

i have been using this for a month now .. and to be honest its worth it ... i had no problem wearing its soft and light .. sound Q is fair ..

First and foremost, the build quality is exceptional. Feels very sturdy and comfortable. I like that it includes interchangeable earphones. The sound is amazing for the price. The 7.1 feature is a nice touch. It's wired and I actually prefer this for gaming as it decreases input lag and static.

As with everything I purchase I research a lot of reviews from several sources. These headphones consistently were in the top 5 out of all others. The build quality is top notch. As well as the sound quality. They are also very well priced. Buy them and you will not be disappointed!!

Amazing, recommend this headset to anyone, including the other models in the series (owned the previous downgraded model).

-Comfort is amazing; has interchangable pads for soft or leather feel; even forget you have it on which is a goal for me with headsets -great mic; all my friends say it sounds pretty clean -USB control for 7.1 is really fun; sound has been perfect for what I need; especially with the frequency range...

-the adapter for headphone jack to headphone and microphone jacks is a small adapter that has a specified length so it doesnt work on all systems -Havent seen any ways that its been negative yet
