HyperXCloud II Wireless -Gaming Headset for PC, PS5, PS4, Long Lasting Battery Up to 30 Hours, DTS® Headphone:X®Spatial Audio, Memory Foam, Detachable Noise Cancelling Microphone with Mic Monitoring

I bought a pair of the HyperX Cloud II headset, and they were so good, I came back and bought another. The sound is very, very good for the price. I also bought a more expensive headset around the same time by a different manufacturer and I have to say they were nowhere near as good as the HyperX Cloud II. The headset comes with a USB cable and a clip-on soundcard, with separate volume control and separate mic input level. There's also a button to activate the 7.1 virtual surround sound. I should mention that this headset also works without the accompanying USB cable - in that it can be plugged straight into a standard 3.5 mm jack. There's not that much loss of quality by removing the USB connection, but you do then lose the 7.1 virtual surround sound and the volume and input controls, as well as leaving the overall length of the cable much shorter. But it is useful to be able to connect it in a standard way through the 3.5 mm headphone jack. One issue I noticed, was that you need to make sure that the detachable mic "boom" is plugged in all the way - it almost has to click right in, otherwise the mic may not work, or it can even fall off the headset. This mic issue did not affect the overall usefulness of the headset for me, but it might become a problem for someone using it for gaming where more physical movement is involved. Incidentally, I only noticed the difficulty plugging the microphone in all the way with one of the two headsets I bought, so it may be a one-off. Since the boom mic part is fully detachable, for anyone just wanting to use the headset as headphones, then they will work very well for this, without the intrusive mic getting in the way or sticking out. I used one of the pairs I bought purely as headphones - minus the mic part. The sonic quality is incredible and you barely hear any external noises around you. The bass is excellent as well as the general fidelity of the sound. They are comfortable on the ears and I highly recommend the headset. I think they are worth 5 to 10 times the price they actually cost.

I bought a pair of these May 2017 and the only reason I remember that date is because Amazon tells me when I look at them.They were the first headset I bought myself that I paid "silly price" for as my mum would say and that was even discounted but there's a good reason for that, they're really good quality.They're very comfortable (as someone that wears glasses, headphones usually pose a problem but I've never experienced discomfort wearing these)The Audio quality is astounding, crystal clear, good bass and after a while you can tell when surround sound isn't enabled.The mic was pretty good quality however I ran into a problem after a few months where there would be static or a buzzing on the mic, I put this down to the fact that when I wasn't using the mic I would unplug it and the port must have just been worn out? I'm not too sure but I would just suggest not unplugging it all the time like I did.5 years later the headset is still working perfectly however as you can imagine the daily ware and tear has taken its toll on these poor things and I'm not a light user. Over those five years they have been used anywhere from 4 hours a day to over 12 and these are some of the issues I've only just encountered in the last couple of months;The leather on the ear cushions began peeling and I would find it on my desk, in my hair, on the floor so I had to remove them and replace them with the fabric ones that come in the box. Still very comfortable but I have to spend a bit of time pulling stray hairs and random fuzz out of them, anybody that's ever owned fake leather knows that this happens after a while even if you take good care of it.The Audio Control box still works but would cause a static disruption over what I was listening to from time to time, I put this down to ware and tear of over 5 years of use but also I would unplug the headset regularly so that I could use it on my phone or plug into my playstation controller. I had to stop using it and now my headset plugs directly into a port on my pc, still sound great but don't really have the easy volume functions anymore.All in all this is a really great headset for a decent price and if you take decent care of your belongings it could last you a decent amount of time. I'm just leaving this review now because they were so good I'm getting a new pair as a replacement so I can retire these old ones.

the headphones themselves are adjustable to fit comfortably on your head, and this size does not change during usage. the change of ear pads included in the box are an amazing addition, allowing you to choose between increased noise cancellation and (i think) higher audio quality, or more comfort and a more transparent listening experience (and warmth).the audio quality is amazing and i can't pick a single fault with it. i don't have any more to detail about it other than it being really clear, with comfortable volume and a pretty standard (as in a reliable and not at all bad) bass level.as for the microphone, there have been absolutely no issues with how audible i am and have not complained once in the 5 years i have owned this headset for, even when i've asked them about it. the quality is really good and the mic itself fits comfortably, being easily adjusted to sit closer or further to your mouth. its detachability is a nice addition, removing an extra element from your peripheral vision when wanting to watch a movie or be immersed in a game.there's a reason you have seen every twitch streamer or youtuber own a pair of these at some point in their career, even to this day!!
