"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."
"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."

"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 comfortable wearing them for long hours"

"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."

"mine fkn broke in only 7 months of using it"
"Had my HyperX Cloud 2's for about a year and a half and they have been awesome and comfortable but are falling apart. ... Crappy plastic pieces, the volume control doodad halfway down the cord is made of trash quality plastic. ... Whole thing feels low quality"
"Mine only lasted a year almost to the dot on all 3."

"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."

"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."
"the highs pierce my eardrums"
"Still can't play for long even with the foam but its much better than the fake leather"

"I have hated the software it needs to run effectively. Horrendous."
"didn’t have Bluetooth. So you couldn’t connect it to a phone or other devices without the dongle"
"Other than the usb dongle I have ZERO complaints and that ’s just because I would connect this to my phone and anything else if I could."
