"Every headset I’ve ever owned has broken down on me except for my HyperX Cloud II’s. ... I handed them down to my girlfriend and they’re still going strong several years later."
"my HyperX Cloud that I've had for 10 years"

"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."
"my HyperX Cloud II headset has never caused head pain and fits comfortably. ... I also wear pretty thick glasses"
"The sound, comfort and build quality is top notch"

"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."
"But if I switch to my Hyperx Cloud II the mic of that headset doesn't pick up the TV at all."
"Mic is good."

"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 ability to use 2 Channel stereo audio, excellent for FPS shooters (hearing footsteps). ... The logitech and some corsair wireless headsets force surround sound on in Windows audio settings through their drivers, which make the sound muffled and make poor positional audio."
"they're also extremely crystal clear probably because of the 53mm drivers. ... I could feel everything, even just reloading a gun, I could hear all those metal parts moving. This was not even noticeable in any of the other headsets."

"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"
"they sound pretty horrendous. ... Best thing I can think of to describe is that it sounds like the sound is being filtered through a tin can."

"Mine only lasted a year almost to the dot on all 3."
"my problems was always the mic. It would stop working"
"Then after a year or two the battery kicks the bucket. ... Not with the hyper x’s or most other wireless headsets."

"didn’t have Bluetooth. So you couldn’t connect it to a phone or other devices without the dongle"
Yeah, anything before the Novas had MAJOR hinge issues. I haven't kept up with SteelSeries as I have the cloud II Wireless's now
r/computers • Which wireless gaming headset should I get ->HyperX Cloud II Wireless Amazing quality and value for the price.
r/buildapc • The Best Gaming Headset to Buy Now? ->I 2nd this. I think the hyper x cloud 2 wireless are among one of the best and affordable headsets on the market at this point. I use mine often and they are durable aswell.
r/buildapc • Whats the Best Gaming Headset to Buy Right Now? ->I have the HyperX Cloud II Wireless and I love it! The sound quality + mic quality seem really good! I mainly chose it because someone recommended it to me when I was looking for a smaller-sized headset because my headsets were forever falling off my head but it ended up just being a really good headset in general! :) I also like that is has a muted indicator light and that it's a mute button and not the type where you flip the mic up to mute as those seem to wear out for me and end up not working anymore!
r/GirlGamers • What is the best wireless gaming headset you'd recommend buying currently? ->Take a look at the HyperXCloud II Wireless and wired. We (my daughter and me) use that since a year or to and they are really great: comfortable, usable for different head sizes, great sound (virtual surround). The wireless version comes with an USB dongle which is faster than Bluetooth. We got the wired version first, but wireless is worth the extra money. We got both from Amazon, with discount for about 65€ for the wired version 110€ for wireless.
r/GirlGamers • Best wireless and Bluetooth headset for a newbie gaming girl? Budget listed below 😇 ->Seconding this. I LOVE the Hyper X Cloud Wireless series. I've been rocking the Wireless II's for a few years now and have zero complaints. I love the feel, fit and sound quality. Sure, it's a tad high on treble and the listening fatigue does occur after long play sessions, but for the price and quality it's a 10/10 on recommendations. What's more, the microphone has audio monitoring which was one of the big key factors in my purchase. You can activate this by holding down the mute button for 3-4 seconds. Oddly, Hyper X doesn't explain how to do that anywhere that I could find and it's an incredible feature.
r/PS5pro • New Pro Owner… looking for headset recommendations? ->I only use wireless headsets and tried logitech, corsair, steelseries, beyerdynamic. I would recommend the Hyperx Cloud II Wireless. It's a great all arounder. \-Affordable \-Comfortable, light clamping force, not too heavy. \-Sound good out of the box. No need to mess with settings or install drivers, easy plug n play. \-Microphone is not great, but good enough. \-Battery life is decent at 30hrs. \-The ability to use 2 Channel stereo audio, excellent for FPS shooters (hearing footsteps). The logitech and some corsair wireless headsets force surround sound on in Windows audio settings through their drivers, which make the sound muffled and make poor positional audio. \-Build quality is a bit on the cheaper side after HP took over HyperX, but still decent. If you prefer less bass and SUPER light clamping force, can try out the Cloud III.
r/buildapc • What are the Best Gaming Headsets Available Now? ->Hyperx cloud 2 wireless, don't need drivers, don't need to fiddle around for decent sound.
r/buildapc • Best gaming headset thats ready to go out of the box. ->I use cloud ii wireless at work and audeze maxwell at home. my nice amp/dac and sundaras, 6xx, dt1990 etc are all boxed up and don’t get used any more. if you are explicitly looking for imaging there is better options than gaming headsets for sure though.
r/headphones • Are gaming headphones really that bad? ->My cloud ii wireless started peeling off. I mean the ear pads and the headband. Do you have the link or maybe an idea of what ear pads I should be getting? For the headband as far as I know there is no solution without soldiering which I’m not going to do. You said you peeled off the headband and is even better now?
r/HyperX • Best headset ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
