HyperX Cloud II
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.

Great quality gaming headphones
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.

Cons:
- 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

One Minute Review: Kingston HyperX Cloud II
T wo huge 53mm drivers in the HyperX Cloud II provide excellent sound quality and not just for the price range. The full range of sound is excellent, all the way from the punchy bass through to the clear treble.

HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset for PC & PS4 - Red (KHX-HSCP-RD)
Important note: This review has had significant alterations made since I first posted it. Upon listening to them again post review and comparing them to the HD 600s (which I will use as my reference), I felt that parts of my review overstated traits/aspects of this headset and some impressions were...
Pros:
- Comfort
- value for money
- sound quality
- build quality
- customer service
Cons:
- Can highlight sibilance in particular tracks
- I personally found the sound quality suffered when using the velour pads

Review: The HyperX Cloud II makes the best sub-$100 headset a little better
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.

Kingston's HyperX Cloud II is one of the best gaming headsets you can get. With strong audio specs, a solid design and excellent support options, this PC gaming headset is hard to beat. It's missing a few things, but there's no denying that the HyperX is the king of its price point.
Pros:
- The excellent headphones reproduce high-fidelity sound
Cons:
- The headphones don't fold down into a smaller size
