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

Kingston is a leader in the memory and storage market, but the company has recently expanded its product portfolio to more completely cover the gamer's needs.

The HyperX range has long been a measure of quality, and it's probably a fair assumption to say that most of us have owned at least one HyperX product in our PC owning lifetime.

Kingston has been renowned for their prowess in creating some of the most trusted memory products for computing over the years, but recently, they have expanded into different fields such as audio peripherals. Their latest product from that line is the Kingston HyperX Cloud II gaming headset.

Amazing Audio; Lightweight; Can be used with gaming consoles

No companion software for tuning; Virtual 7.1 doesn't provide much depth

Cloud Stinger by Kingston really does deliver what it promises, lightweight design with few cool features that do not break the bank. When looking at just the sound performance/reproduction of Cloud Stinger it is spot on as well. It is hard to find a good pair of headsets on the budget.

Introduction HyperX, a sub-division of Kingston, hit the market strong over the few last years. They have created a name that has been praised by many and they have taken a big leap into PC Peripherals and Accessories arena.

Excellent comfort ability; Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound; USB Sound Card; Variety of Colors Available

Long cables

Last year I called the HyperX Cloud "one of the best sub-$100 gaming headsets I've ever used." Apparently not content with that, Kingston went ahead and released the HyperX Cloud II this year--a little pricier, a little more refined. "Little" being the operative word here.
