"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."

"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
