It like awsome and build quality superb.. Sound quality and surrounding excellent

TL;DR Review: My previous headset broke, so I chose this one after reading/watching reviews. Comfort and durability are excellent, so far. The mic is good enough for calls and gaming. Initially, I was not impressed with the sound of the headphones (sounded like a low bitrate MP3), but then I realized I needed to plug the headset into my motherboard’s USB ports rather than the front panel ports. I am now very happy with this headset and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably-priced, comfortable gaming headset. (Owned for 5 months as of 2/27/16)
Full Review:
I purchased these to replace my Plantronics Gamecom 780 headset. The Gamecom headset had a 100% plastic headband which snapped one month after the warranty period ended. Apologies in advance, but I sometimes will compare the Cloud II to the Gamecom 780 in this review because its my only point of reference, and I felt like the Gamecom was an excellent headset prior to breakage. Overall, the Cloud II’s have been a worthy replacement, and even an upgrade in many respects, but there are some areas where the Gamecom was better.
After looking at YouTube, WireCutter, and Amazon reviews, I settled on the HyperX Cloud II gaming headset. Almost everyone raved about their durability, comfort, and sound. I know a headphone + stand mic combo can provide a better overall experience, but I didn’t feel like spending the ~$200 on that combo just yet.
Fit & Finish
After they arrived, my initial impression of this headset was that it was very high quality. The fake leather on the earcups and the headband is nice and soft, and the stitching on the headband looks good and provides a nice red accent. The red brushed metal on the exposed parts of the frame is also a nice touch. The microphone detaches and reattaches very easily, although I do prefer a flip-up microphone like on the Gamecom 780. However, that’s just a preference and shouldn’t have any bearing on this review. As for fit, I have a larger head (I’m 6’2″, 215 lbs, and probably have a 7-3/8″ hat size) and these fit very comfortably. I’ve worn them for hours while gaming and never felt like the clamping pressure was too hard. Also, they don’t make my head/ears sweat or anything like that. The pads on the earcups provide a comfortable seal around my ears that blocks out a lot of noise, which can be a pro and a con sometimes.
Durability
After 5 months of daily use… so far, so good. I recently purchased a hook so I can hang these up rather than just setting them on my desk or on the floor, so hopefully that increases the Cloud II’s longevity, but I still don’t feel like these will break as easily as the Gamecom 780’s. Unless they get stepped on by an elephant or run over by my truck, I don’t think the headband on the Cloud II’s will be snapping after 13 months like the Gamecoms. The drivers in the headphones are still going strong, and the mic still sounds good. I will update if anything changes.
Headphone Sound Quality
Honestly, the headphones didn’t blow me away at first. There was a noticeable difference from the Gamecom 780’s in this regard. I felt like the sound on the 780’s was awesome for their ~$60 price tag, but the Cloud II’s just didn’t sound as good. It was like listening to 320 kbps vs. 128 kbps MP3. There was a “graininess” (my terminology, sorry) to all sound – gaming, movies, and calls – that was especially noticeable at low volume. After a couple months, it was annoying me so much that I was about ready to buy a good pair of headphones and separate mic. Then I had an epiphany. I always plug my headset (780 or the Clouds) into my front USB ports (Fractal Define R4 case) because sometimes I like to unplug them and listen to movies/podcasts through my speakers. I had tried both the USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports with the Cloud II’s, and the sound was the same on both. One day, I realized I had never plugged them directly into my motherboard’s USB ports (Gigabyte Z170X-UD5). As soon as I did, I noticed an immediate difference in the sound quality. The “graininess” went away and I’m now very happy with the sound quality. I now run a USB extension cable from the back of my computer so I can still easily unplug the headset as needed, and the USB extension doesn’t add any of the noise/bit-rate issues I was experiencing before.
Virtual 7.1 Surround Quality
I’m really not impressed by the virtual surround performance of the Cloud II’s. I felt like the Gamecom 780’s had a great virtual surround, or at least better than the Cloud II’s. With the Gamecom, I could easily tell when/where an enemy was approaching me in FPS games. With the Cloud II’s, I can hear an enemy approaching, but it’s a lot tougher to tell where they’re coming from. I don’t think it’s enough of a disappointment to lose a star though, since I can try other virtual surround software (Razer) and bypass the “built-in” virtual surround of the Cloud II’s.
Microphone Quality
The microphone is great for voice chat during games (Discord ftw) and Hangouts calls, but I would get a separate microphone if I was doing anything more than that. I don’t stream to YouTube or Twitch. I don’t record podcasts. I only use it to talk with my friends. They’ve all told me that it sounds clear and noise-free. If and when I do decide to do more, I’ll pick up a Blue Yeti or Audio-Technica ATR-2100 which I know will have a much more professional and richer sound quality at a reasonable price, but I’m not to that point yet. For a ~$99 headset, the microphone is pretty good.
Conclusion
I would definitely recommend this headset to anyone looking for something that has great quality and is reasonably priced. I’d also recommend plugging it into your motherboard vs. the front panel USB ports to avoid any sound issues. The fit and finish are pretty nice, and it definitely feels more durable than my previous headset. The sound quality is great, but the 7.1 virtual surround experience is not very dependable. The microphone is good for gaming and voice calls, but look for a standalone mic if you’re doing anything more than that. It’s a great headset that does its job admirably, and I don’t think you’ll find better value for the price.
Cliente Kindle –
ร um fone excelente por vรกrios aspectos:
1- A qualidade do som de modo geral รฉ รณtima e bem equilibrada.
2 – Eu uso รณculos, portanto, a maioria dos fones desse tipo machucam depois de um tempo, esse nรฃo! posso passar horas e horas seguindas com ele que nem sequer lembro que estou de รณculos. Nesse ponto, esse fone me surpreendeu muito. Deve ser pelo fato de ter espuma com memรณria combinado com o fato de nรฃo apertar muito a cabeรงa.
3 – ร bonito, leve, flexรญvel e nรฃo pressiona de mais a cabeรงa (como jรก havia dito)
4 – Mic bom, nada extraordinรกrio, compatรญvel com o preรงo e consegue suprimir bem barulhos do ambiente.
contras:
1 – O 7.1 nรฃo รฉ dos melhores, mas funciona…
2 – Nรฃo da pra tirar o fio que encaixa diretamente no fone.
3 – O controle de volume baixa o som geral do sistema operacional (isso pode ser um pro tambรฉm… depende do contexto)
Resumindo: Pode comprar, รฉ um รณtimo investimento.
ps: Eu tive problemas para o meu win 10 reconhecer o mic. precisei baixar outro controlador de audio. Vi que nos comentรกrios aqui o pessoal reclamou muito de o mic “nรฃo funcionar” e isso aconteceu cmg: qnd chegou o mic “รฑ funcionou” mas, pela quantidade de comentรกrios de mic com defeito, suspeitei que podia ser o controlador de audio e bingo! era esse o problema, baixei outro controlador e estรก tudo funcionando.

It is very fitting that Hyperx would name this headset Cloud. Why you ask? Because they literally feel like…….a cushion. Duh! Anyways the Cloud II headset is seriously awesome! I am always on the hunt for a new set of headphones and the Cloud II was really a refreshing choice. My last pair of headphones was a Beats Pro (yeah yeah, haters gonna hate), and my last gaming headset was the Siberia V2. The Cloud II is unrivaled when it comes to these 2.
First off, the comfort of these earcups is really the star of the show. Comfort is really important to me because when it comes to gaming, you need to wear them for long extended periods of time. I usually play Dota 2 and my sessions could last anywhere from 2-8 hours. For me, the discomfort usually develops behind my ears around my jawline. In the past, I would constantly want a break from my headphones and find myself putting them down whenever I had the chance. The soft memory foam earcups definitely alleviate the problem. I am definitely able to wear these headphones much more longer than my older ones and I catch myself actually wanting to wear them. The great thing about them is that they actually fit OVER my ears instead of ONTO my ears. This is a huge deal for me because the headphones are actually resting onto my head instead of my ears. I am still unsure if there is truly a pair headphones that would provide literally 0 discomfort, but this set was definitely the closest I’ve gotten.
Sound quality on this is also very good. For a pair of headphones under $100 I would actually say it is fantastic. The sounds come in very clear and very accurate with definitely more focus on the mids and highs. The bass is a little lacking, but its definitely not bad. This doesn’t bother me too much because during gaming sessions, I’m not really looking to turn up. I still enjoy them for listening to music though because it captures a lot of the background depth that isn’t picked up in other headphones or speakers, which I really enjoy. The mic is usually the biggest complaint on this headset, but to be honest its really not bad. Sure its not super accurate and it compresses your voice a lot more than it should, but people can still hear what I’m saying perfectly clearly which is more important I think.
There are also some pretty cool features that this headset has to offer. I completely love the fact that it only has one 3.5mm jack for both audio and microphone. This may not be a big deal for some people, but I can’t imagine buying a headset that doesnt have this feature anymore. I use this headset to talk on the phone all the time when I need to be hands free. It also comes with a USB dongle that gives some extra features like mic volume and headphone volume. It is nice to have separate volumes especially when you need them on the fly. It also allows you to use its 7.1 surround sound feature. I found that it opens up the depth of field a little more, but can’t say that it makes a huge difference. The detachable mic and noise cancellation is a plus but never found me needing to use it all that much.
Pros:
Most comfortable headset for me so far
Awesome price
Great quality build and sound
Only one 3.5mm jack for audio and voice
Comes with USB dongle that has added features
Easy to use
Cons:
Mic could be better

ย Franchement que dire, je ne lui trouve aucun dรฉfaut. Jโai eu pendant longtemps son petit frรจre, le Hyper X Cloud en gris et noir, la qualitรฉ sonore รฉtait bonne et le casque รฉtait confortable, son seul dรฉfaut รฉtait les mousses dโoreilles qui de mon cรดtรฉ cโรฉtait dรฉgradรฉ et que jโai du changรฉ mais jโai ensuite dรฉcidรฉ de prendre ce petit bijoux. Le Hyper X Cloud II a tout de son petit frรจre mais du niveau au dessus, qualitรฉ sonore tout aussi bonne voir meilleur, rรฉgleur de son amรฉliorรฉ avec un design plus attrayant, ajout de la fonctionnalitรฉ dโaugmenter ou de baisser le son du micro et dโactiver ou de dรฉsactiver le surround 7.1 qui fonctionne incroyablement bien, finitions mieux faite (le rouge et noir est juste parfait) et contrairement ร son petit frรจre, il nโa pas ce dรฉfaut pour les mousses qui entoure vos oreilles, trรจs confortable et rรฉsistant. Je nโai pas essayรฉ le micro, ayant dรฉjร un micro ร perche.
En rรฉsumรฉ si vous cherchez un casque avec, une bonne qualitรฉ sonore, bon confort, prix trรจs abordable, un beau design et un fil assez long pour ne pas รชtre dรฉrangรฉ par ce dernier, eh bien ce casque est fait pour vous et vous devez absolument lโacheter.
