HyperX - Cloud Flight (Wireless)

I have the HyperX Cloud Fight, is there much of a difference?

I’ve had a pair of hyperX cloud flights for like 4 years now. To me they’re super comfortable and my ears never hurt after hours of gaming. The earcups are finally shredding away and battery needs to be replaced (not swappable, have to solder it), I just haven’t done it because I don’t game as much anymore. They also work plugged in and charging. I recommend hyperX for sure, they make a few different models of wireless headsets now, cloud flights, cloud 2 wireless, cloud 3 wireless are some of the more popular ones that look more comfortable as well.

That might unfortunately be the case, like I said, mine are quite a few years old, but I absolutely love them.

I have a couple of HyperX Cloud Flights. After 2 years, a bit of the foam cover is peeling off the ear pads when sweating for a couple hours but they sound great and the mic pics up great. It'll pick up a loud AC or fan in the background, but no voices. They also have low feedback. Which I like because I can hear the background sound it supresses over the mic

Got my hyper x Cloud flight since 2017 and it is still doing good. I dont think it's worth spending more than 150 for a headset. If you really want the edge, get headphones and a studio mic.

Cloud flight is your only good option

If you can increase your budget to 8k, I would highly recommend the HyperX cloud Flight wireless. They use a 2.4g dongle so latency is almost nonexistent. Sound and mic the best in their class. You will find them open box on HyperX pk website.

I got a hyperx cloud wireless. Thing has 300 hours of battery life! Practically never nees to recharge it

That’s what I have I think. Battery life is great. I don’t care about sound quality because I literally only use it for chat, and for that it’s fine.

loved my astros. especially with the fiber audio. had them for a very long time. i got a wireless pair of hyperx for around $200. those are great too. im never going back to wired. headsets are worth the money, i feel the cheap ones really dont last especially razer

Not with the hyper x’s or most other wireless headsets.

What’s considered a good headset for bf6 lol I thought I’d be ok with my hyperx wireless

Mmx Wireless 200. really can’t go wrong with that. The mic is amazing, sound quality good. Only downside is it’s pretty ugly but who cares Also had the hyperx wireless ones but sent it back because the audio quality is worse than with the mmx and also the hyperx didn’t have Bluetooth. So you couldn’t connect it to a phone or other devices without the dongle

Would go for hyper x cloud wireless, its good sound good mic and not over expensive, arround 100 a 120.

This is definitely the best choice for a 17 year old. I've had nicer headsets, but I come back to the clouds.

Hyperx cloud wireless. Battery lasts for, i kid you not, like 6-10 months. Mic is good. Its comfortable.

I think they're definitely 'good enough'. Especially for wireless.

I have a blackshark v2 pro and honestly i love it for music, but i am a bass freak, if u don't prefer bass>everything else, then i cannot reccomend blackshark v2 pro. Comfy: 8/10 Wireless distance: 1/10 Battery life: 1/10 Audio quality: 6/10 I have hyperx cloud wireless aswell and i mean, for the right price its a nice backup headset, its not that comfy tho and the sound is at very best meh. Comfy: 5/10 Wireless distance: 8/10 Battery life:10/10 Audio Quality: 4/10 I've not tried ARctis nova pro, but i had the predecessor and if thats anything to go by then it will have great battery life but everything else pretty avg. Never been a fan of Logitech headsets but thats a personal foul i guess. My current everyday headset is Audeze Maxwell followed by HyperX cloud wireless as a backup with blackshark for occasional music listening. It all depends on what you are looking for in a headset tbh, if sound quality & wireless is what you truely want, then there is nothing that beats the Maxwell, it has best sound you can get in any wireless headset/phones, but ofcourse that comes at a higher than avg price for a pair of "gaming headset". Comfy: 10/10 (with third party addons, stock is 1/10 Battery life: 9/10 Wireless distance: 9/10 Audio quality: 9/10 (Personal preference would be more bass) If you do decide to lookup the Maxwell, you NEED to buy third party ear cussions & headband because....yikes. Personal reccomendation would be WC freeze & "ZMF pilot pad headband".

But I think it's audio isn't great. Like good, but not great as you could get.

The wireless one can take any usb-c cable and that length can change on which you use for it and can be used while charging. the non-wireless hyperx 3 has about 4 feet without usb-c dongle cable. the dongle cable is a little over 4 ft and so if you use both the headset attached cable with the dongle cable it goes to around 8 ft or so.

I'll second this, but I also gladly trade a little bit of sound quality for a weeks worth of battery life. Its insane how many hours you can get out of a single charge.

yeah but it's wireless.

Another vote for the HyperX Cloud series. Good sound quality (for a non music aficionado like me) and actually amazing build quality compared to lots of expensive gamer headsets. No flimsy plastic but solid medal frame. My old HyperX lasted 8 years. Finally, consider going wireless. I resisted a long time but finally got the Cloud Alpha and it truly has 300 hours of battery life. I don’t need to charge it for months and I use it daily for multiple hours (also for work zoom calls so mic quality is actually good).

hyperx is what i use, never had an issue

no not cheap look at the hyperx cloud series of headsets

yup yup! just make sure it has the proper headphone jack an should be good

Maybe I am a bit late on this topic but from what I have heard, the HyperX Cloud series and Logitech Pros are quite good. Or am I wrong and those are not worth mentioning (I am really on the search for new headphones cause the padding on my Hyperx cloud mix are dying)

I've been using Hyper X for years, I love them

Love my hyper X headset. I recently purchased their gaming earbuds bc I can’t wear a headset for long, I have a scar on my head in the shape and size of a headset basically, and the earbuds are surprisingly awesome! Sure there isn’t a ton of low end but that’s expected. For $20 they’re worth it imo.

tl;dr: Hyper X headsets check the cheap and comfy boxes and have a mic attached to them, but I don’t think most headsets would be anywhere close to what you have now. Depending on what people are looking for in a headset. If someone is insistent on a headset instead of a dedicated headset instead of separate headphones and mic, then I usually steer them towards Sennheiser PC37x or PC38x for a flat sound and build quality. Hyper X for cost, comfort, and features. And Astro for a jack of all trades, master of none kinda headphone (Not really too familiar with their QC since they were acquired by Logitech though). None of these headsets sound exceptional, which is why most users try to steer people towards dedicated mic and headphones if they can. But headsets still have a place and some people just prefer them. The only gaming headset I’ve heard with good imaging is the Sennheiser PC37X and PC38X (also known as the EPOS Game Zero and Game One), but the 490 is still vastly superior in most ways. Imaging in headphones is hard. Whether we like it or not, headphones are stereo. So in the end, it entirely depends on the game engine and devs to determine whether or not they are going to emulate surround sound for headphone users. Some do, some do not. It’s a crapshoot. So most of the time, well imaging headphones are still only accurate on the stereo axis because games don’t simulate 360 audio. One more edit: Headsets that advertise 7.1 are using software emulation too. As I mentioned above, headphones only have stereo channels (L/R). I have NEVER heard an out of engine emulation that sounded good. They all sound bad (except ATMOS, but that’s a whole different can of worms that we won’t get into). Don’t use them.

My hyper x is amazing but I also have a cheap headset for noise canceling that’s almost as good . Gaming brand stuff is often a rip off

Wish i still had my kingston hyperx, they sadly died, but are still my favourite headset I've ever had

I like Kingston HyperX ive had mine for years and the sound is really crisp - not sure the price now but mine was $130 AUD

Yeah and Ive had comments from folk in game about my mic too, they thought I had a pro setup but was just these headphones. They’re really big so they don’t squish my glasses into my head either haha

Hyper x cloud

Just bought my son his 2nd pair and I have one too. Probably tried 10 others over the years and never been as happy as hyper x

I've had the Hyper Cloud X. The plastic part holding the earphone to the base has broken 2x. The first time they reluctantly replaced the headphones after a month of arguing. The second time they wouldn't. They don't sell the little plastic piece so you have to find a 3d printer to pay for them to be made. Total waste and won't buy their product again.
