"But tbh the comfort, completeness and the easy of use from my HyperX can't be beat by those."
"my HyperX sits even more perfectly. 😂 ... The Cloud II are more comfortable to me, but the difference in clamp force is kinda minimal, not uncomfortable at all, at least to me."
"very rarely notice I'm wearing anything at all because they don't press the glasses into my head ... The biggest thing was finding comfy ones for glasses"

"Hyper X Cloud II is one of the goats for value. ... There's a reason it's still in production and you can still buy them brand spankin new."
"so ive had cloud 2’s for a while now, bought 4+ pairs over the years and will continue to do so. ... they’re hands down the best budget headset ive ever had"
"cloud II is 8500-9000 PKR in Karachi. So well worth it."

"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. ... I played Valorant on PS5, xDefiant and Warzone. ... I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical. ... there was a scene where I heard steps coming from a wall and I thought "there must be a room here" so I went around in silence and killed the guy with high precision, it was incredible and 100% thanks to the headset."
"For gaming the hyperx cloud II hands down simply because it picks up footsteps and other important sounds a lot clearer."

"the Cloud II's microphone sounded the best, the clearer on every single audio device I've tested. ... I'm still recovering from that one to be honest. It was a surprise that went against everything I've seen on reviews so I'd like to really underline that one because most people thing the Cloud II microphone isn't good."
"the microphone was my biggest surprise. ... the Cloud II's microphone sounded the best, the clearer on every single audio device I've tested. ... Crystal clear microphone, picks up everything and has good cancelling, if you have an average voice it should sound better than most headsets. ... the microphone is one of the best I've used. Even when I talk quietly at night everyone can clearly understand every word I say. ... It's one of the best microphones i've used. Your voice sounds crisp and clear even if you're speaking lower. ... Also the higher pitch microphone will allow your teammates to hear you will even in loud situations."
"But if I switch to my Hyperx Cloud II the mic of that headset doesn't pick up the TV at all."

"I ditched all my gaming headsets (the cleanest sound was on my HyperX Cluod 2 wired & the Audeze Penrose) and use the Beyerdynamic dt770pro, Sennheiser hd560s, Crinacle Zero Blue and Moondrop Chu II (the last two are iems). All wired and without a mic, but man is the sound nice. ... I haven’t used HyperX since I got the dt770 and hd560 and that says it all. The difference in sound might not seem that big at start (it still is noticeable), but you’re just gonna be appreciating it more and more as time goes by. The detail and clarity is something else completely. I don’t think I’m ever gonna buy a gaming headset again."
"They sound like very high but trashy at the same time. ... I made the upgrade to ps5 and they are a mess. ... On Apex Legends I can't play like normally because of this. It's like a chaotic sound coming from everywhere. :("
"it had dogshit bass ... sounded awful"

"I have a Hyper X Cloud 2 and it seriously hurts my ears with extended use. Not my ear drums, but my ears themselves. I hate it so much."
"Still can't play for long even with the foam but its much better than the fake leather"
"uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time"
