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!

The hyper X cloud headset really has been a surprising shock to many gamer's. The company's HyperX Cloud II really improves upon its design and features. The result from this headset is a comfortable class of its own, even despite lacking customization and software.

If you like music quality I do not suggest this headphone but I do enjoy gaming with these with the mic. This review was modfied by poster @ 04-09-17 08:48 AM

Nice Looking; Build Quality; Good for Gaming with the 7.1 and mic

Only 16 bit sound when using the USB cable device, Music sound "Muffled" with way too much treble; It hurt my ears

After looking into countless headphones for gaming and media use, I finally decided on these. they are light weight, but well constructed and the braided cords look amazing. the 7.1 inline surround option works really well and is why you should buy the hyper x 2 over the hyper x 1.

So far so good. Will update if anything changes. Great sound. Only thing I dislike is I have nothing to clip the volume up/down attachment to, and there's no mute option on the cable

Just bought them. I would recommend for FPS games as it's really good for sound cues. Also the base is really nice when listening to music. Also for what it is the detachable mic is legit the best invention ever created in history!

This is simply a wonderful headset. I picked these up to replace an old pair of Logitech's i had and the difference was very noticeable. Both sets of cuffs were very soft (this headset comes with two). No scratchy feeling with the cloth ones.

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.

Attractive styling (even in hot pink and white; High end sound for gaming and multimedia enjoyment; Solid construction; Includes plenty of useful accessories; Two sets of ear pads; one in leatherette and one in cloth; 8 year old daughter finally enthused about something I reviewed

Can't get 7.1 channel surround or use microphone unless using USB adapter; I wish the microphone jack cover was attached to the headphones; so I won't lose it; Would like an adapter to use a sound card's dedicated outputs for surround sound and microphone

There is no better headphone at this price point other than HyperX Cloud II that gives a stunning virtual 7.1 channel surround sound experience.

Solid construction quality Super comfortable ear cups Loud speaker drivers with 60 Ohm impedance Natural sounds with no artificial boosting or attenuation Very great performance vs price ratio

Cable is a little short unless you are using the USB sound card

Our favourite gaming headset just got better with 7.1 digital surroundbut it's also driven down the price of its predecessor, so choosing between Cloud models is a tough call.
