HyperX - CloudX Pro

For starters, I don't feel any difference between the Kingstons and HP versions of the Cloud II. The only real difference is the build quality. The build quality seemed a little more resistant during the Kingston era, but there's a downside no one talks about when they criticize the HP versions. The old Kingston's rubber material that covered the headset would get ugly and sticky very fast. I do prefer the current plastic, if you're careful with them they won't get as bad. They are great, their sound is heavy and loaded and 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. Now, should you buy these for your PS5? Maybe. Why? Because the HyperX Cloud X exists. Now, I've never tried the Cloud X, they were made for the Xbox. And yes, they made a [PlayStation Version](https://row.hyperx.com/pt/products/hyperx-cloud-playstation?variant=40838001131725) but they are hard to find and didn't make it because the X for some reason work better on the PlayStation. If you can return the item: Pick the Cloud X first. If you can't return the item: Pick the Cloud II I don't regret the Cloud II, they're the best headset for the price range and it beats many headsets twice it's price but I would definitely try the Cloud X first. Fun fact, the Cloud II and Cloud X are the same headset. Exactly the same. The only difference is the Impedance that was lowered so the sound output (via 3.5mm jack in the controler) sounds louder than usual because it has less resistance.

I like the hyperx cloudx

Yes. I can vouch for this one. Best bang for buck. 

HyperX CloudX. I’ve been using the same pair for 2+ years, so when it was on sale recently I bought a spare. Very comfortable, I’ve worn it frequently for 2-5 hours consecutively. Feels higher quality than the Turtle Beaches I used to have + sturdier material.

I have had my HyperX Cloud X for months now. It's a great headphone. I think it cost me around $50.

I have a pair of Logitech astros now with a mix amp. But before when I was on more of a budget I bought the hyper cloud x and I don’t have any complaints

I got the HyperX Cloud X for when I played Xbox one… 6 or 7 years later I’m still using it. Most comfortable leather earcups ever and they still look and feel new… still smell new too not to make it weird. Think I got it for about $80 but it’s half the price now.

I like my hyperx pro alpha.

Wired Hyperx, because EVERY BT buds are waking up my Deck randomly.

I like my wired hyperx also but recently got a steel series bluetooth been using that needed a new bluetooth headset since my turtle beach headset decided to crack on both sides after about a year

Hyper x cloud. No need to install driver. Put the jack inside and you are done. Best gaming headset. I switched a lot of headset in 6 years and I’ve now returned to this. It’s my second pair

Hyper x cloud wired not wireless. No numbers after it

So in my opinion I would get the asteo A10. They are like 30 to 40 dollars and I had expensive turtle beach as a birthday gift from family that were 150 and terrible. I also had the hyperX cloud ones, black and red and still the astro A10s were so much better for hearing footsteps and comfortable. Just my opinion

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.
