HyperX - Cloud II Wireless

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!

hote hai brother, many Fortnite pros use hyperx cloud 2 wireless, cloud 3 wireless, it works great

Love my hyperX. Sound great and so comfortable

Yup. Its sooo good and for such a great price. I also love the detachable microphone.

560s is possibly the upgrade you are looking for. You can attach different cable and microphone. I went Game Zero - HyperX Cloud 2 - Game One - 560s. Zero regrets.

Two suggestions. One is a pair of Grado SR60i. Second is the only headset I have seen last for my son with the giant melon head, and that's the HyperX Cloud 2 or 3. The microphone is detachable.

For PC headset I’ve had HyperX Cloud IIs for five years

I have a hyperx cloud 3 headset and owned a pair of cloud 2s before that. For a cheap set, I would go with 2s myself. Being an older model, they are a bit cheaper than the 3s and still have that comfort and sturdy build quality. I haven't owned the cloudx. How are those?

Most gaming headphones are just cheap headphones sold at a higher price due to rgb or branding. Even cheap studio headphones would be far better. The old HyperX products like Cloud 2 and Alpha are based on studio headphones so they're not bad. Their new stuff is awful, though. And Razer in particular has the most overpriced headphones I've ever seen. SHP9500 would be far better than all of these and probably cheaper, too

Logitech pays a lot for marketing. I find that hard to believe since Cloud 2 are literally a pair of studio headphones - Takstar Pro 80, to be precise, just with a worse tuning and a mic.

They're right. That's why I said all their new products are bad. But Cloud 2 and Alpha were made before the acquisition. Their newer iterations may be less durable and feel cheaper but they still retain the same sound. That is to say, decent overall, very good when compared to other gaming headphones. The Alpha especially.

Caveat, I'm a PC gamer that doesn't use headsets these days, but I have a sorta big head, I've encountered this SO much lol. But when I did still opt just for headsets before I switched to PC and set myself up with a boom arm mic rig + studio headphones, I loved HyperX's headsets for fit & comfort. I had a Cloud II and I wore those things to DEATH even after I started playing only PC. They fit just right and have really big cans so they don't squash my head like a lemon. I also tried a friends Logitech's Astro A50's recently and they're pretty nice, they don't feel like shit on my ears, but, the price tag leaves a lot to be desired. At least for me, anyway, but I'm on a really tight budget.

11 years is a long time in today’s marketing-driven headphone and gaming headset market. When I say “gaming headset” I specifically mean one with a mic attached — nothing else. I’ve used the original **Sennheiser Game One** (2014) for 11 years now, and they’ve held up incredibly well. I play a lot — sometimes 6-7 hours at a time — and sort of semi-competitively back in the day. I’ve used them on Xbox with an Astro MixAmp Pro TR (which I kept after being tricked into buying an Astro headset many years ago). #TL;DR Comfort, durability, and sound quality have been unmatched for me for 11 years. I’d recommend the Sennheiser Game One to anyone — even second-hand in decent condition. They’re still better than the hyped **Epos PC38x** and the more modern **Epos H6PRO**. I’ve bought countless other headsets and headphones — but always end up coming back to the Game One. **And here’s why…** #DURABILITY I don’t baby my gear. I don’t keep it in a case. I toss it around. I’ve even slept with them on when earbuds weren’t available. Result: almost no wear and tear. The headband padding finally started coming loose after 10 years (a little glue fixed it). Probably my fault for not cleaning them well from dust and dirt over the years. Cable and ear pads? Still original. Never needed replacement. The fabric sleeve at the plug end of the cable has started to fray a bit (the actual rubber cable underneath is fine), but I’ve already bought a backup cable (that works fine) on eBay just in case. This one: https://www.amazon.com/ABLET-Replacement-Compatible-Sennheiser-Headsets/dp/B0CZST2KMH #COMFORT Very good, from my experience of having them on for 6-7 hours straight.. Maybe they feel slightly less comfortable than when they were brand new — but it could also just be my imagination. I still wear them for hours. The ear pads have probably flattened a little, because I can sometimes feel the inner driver housing or grill or whatever it is sitting close to my ears. Nothing major, though. And the clamp is still strong. #SOUND Again, I’ve tried so many other gaming headsets — from more expensive brands like **Audio Technica** to overpriced (and sometimes gimmicky) stuff from **Astro**, **Turtle Beach**, **Razer**, **SteelSeries**, etc. Then there’s the very hyped **Epos PC38x** (supposed to be basically the same as the Game One — hint: they’re not), and most recently the **Epos H6PRO Open** (back in the box after 10 minutes)… I keep looking, but nothing feels as good. Especially for sound-dependent multiplayer games like **Battlefield**. I can’t relax if the sound feels “off.” It honestly bugs me way too much and it doesn’t go well with my autism. Which is why I keep going back to the Game One. Watching a movie with bad sound is unbearable, right? Same thing here. These just sound alive. Fuller, warmer, wider. Like you’re hearing exactly what the game’s sound engineer wanted you to hear — uncompressed, with zero compromises. I’ve had some issues in **Black Ops 6** where spatial awareness felt worse, but that’s clearly a game issue, not the headset. No issues in any Battlefield games whatsoever and I’ve played them all. #The only alternative I’d recommend As I’ve made clear, I’ve tried many others, but the only other gaming headset I’d actually recommend is: **HyperX Cloud II** I bought the wired model around 2016, and honestly, I liked them a lot. Comfort, build, sound — all solid. But they’re not open-back, which I prefer for FPS games, so I gave them to my younger brother. Still, nothing has ever come close to making me as happy with the sound as the Sennheiser Game One. That’s my completely subjective opinion, of course — but the fact that I’m still taking the time to praise this headset 11 years later is probably a good indicator.
