HyperX Cloud Flight - Wireless Gaming Headset, Long Lasting Battery up to 30 Hours, Detachable Noise Cancelling Microphone, Red LED Light, Comfortable Memory Foam, Works with PC, PS4 & PS5

This headset is pretty impressive. They are fairly comfortable to me - could be better if the pads were larger but that's subjective and depends on your particular head and ears. Performance is excellent. They are capable of playing audio very loud.The receiver is great and I can walk outside of my apartment to my porch at the back of my apartment and have a conversation from my PC which is in my bedroom! The microphone provides good sound and noise cancelling. Audio from the mic is clear, not muffled or muddy sounding, and adequately loud. The quality of the sound is quite good. They are not audiophile quality in sound (headsets like that cost much more), but definite far above the "cheap" sounding headphones I have tried. These DO NOT have boomy, boxy, watery, or tinny sound. The sound is rich and full. I have used them to listen to music and to chat and in both circumstances they quite good.The battery life is AMAZING. I can charge them and use them for chat for an exceptionally long time. I am very satisfied with this headset. They are worth the money. You will not get this kind of performance, either with a mic or sound, from headsets that cost $50 or less. They are priced fairly considering their excellent performance and extreme battery life, and may actually be worth much more. Kingston has done it again - they have made yet another great quality computer peripheral.

I bought these to replace an old Playstation Gold headset. I needed a few features, namely wireless on PC/PS4, wired with a removable cable, and good battery life. I chose this particular headset because it had everything I needed, plus it wasn't too gaudy (a lot of headsets are huge, too colorful, or too flashy; the Golds were pretty minimalist and, by comparison to others, so is this one).The wireless works great on PC/PS4. The LEDs lighting up the logo are not too distracting, but thankfully you can turn them off (since you're not seeing them anyway) and save some battery life. The fact that I can use it wired with a removable cable is a plus in case the battery is dead and I don't feel like charging it. However, I have to say that the battery is tremendous. They tell you to keep the volume at or below 50% and have the LEDs turned off for best performance, and I usually do, although volume fluctuates depending on the application. I've used them for about 8 hours straight and used up maybe 35-40% of the battery? I haven't really tested them from full to empty to see, but I'd say you can easily get 20+ hours out of them which is great, considering I'll never use them that long, and it lets you forgo charging them every time you take them off. My Golds were topping out around 6 hours so this is a huge improvement.There is software control for the headset, you have to download HyperX's NGenuity software. On their website, at least at the time of buying this, there were two different versions depending on the product you have. Just pick the one that works with the Cloud Flight and you should be good to go. The software doesn't do much; it mostly controls headset/mic volume levels which you can adjust either on the headset itself or in an application. But the useful feature for me is that it tells you the battery percent in the taskbar in 5% increments. So you can in fact get a fairly precise battery reading despite what some people say.The comfort of the headset is really nice. I have no problem wearing it for 8 hours straight (haven't needed to wear it any longer). It feels good around my head and around my ears. Given that the cups cover my ears, it blocks out a lot of sound, but not everything. Of course, it's not noise-cancelling, so it's not meant to. The cups can rotate to make the headset more flat and that way you can wrap it around your neck and have the cups flat against your chest. I thought it might feel weird having a big headset wrapped around my neck hanging off it, but actually it's fairly comfortable to lay it like that. The headset is lighter than it looks so it doesn't feel like it's pulling at my neck.Not that it's an afterthought, but to me sound wasn't as important as some other features when choosing which headset to buy, because at this price point, they're all "good enough". Thankfully, the sound in the Cloud Flight is really good (to my ears) and sounds very clean. I'm no audiophile, so I can't say it's amazing or anything, but it does sound better than the Golds in my opinion, so no complaints there. The detachable boom mic is pretty nice. It's one of those flexible ones, so it doesn't have flip to mute (instead you just press in the left ear cup to mute), but you do get the benefit of being able to flex it however you want, and you could use your own mic if you had a better one. Although, from my testing the audio going through the mic came out almost crystal clear, at least before it gets compressed through a chat app.All in all, having had this headset for 2 months now, I'm confident giving it 5/5 stars. It has a good subtle look, it sounds good, it feels good, and it lasts a long time.

Been using these for 5 years now...Time sure is weird since COVID. These have been the best wireless headphones I could have have asked for. I did not realize how good these were, until I recently tried to replace them with the HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless this week 10/16/2024. The Alpha Wireless model offers 300 hours of battery, but I suspect this is achieved by reducing sound quality and corresponding hardware to its absolute bare minimum. Those sings sounded like I was in a tin can under water. Voices in Discord were downright terrible. The Cloud Flight wireless on the other hand has very natural bass reproduction, no weird distortions or flattening of sounds. The Alpha's were just slightly more comfortable, but not enough to say WOW I have to make these work. I am sending back the Alpha Wireless and keeping my 5 year old Flight Wireless. I may even pick up a 2nd pair of the Flight's considering how good they sound for a wireless gaming headset, dont give the clamp effect on my larger head and has aftermarket earpads available for cheap. Win win all around if you can manage 30 hours of battery on wireless. I have personally had no issues with the 30 hour battery and can play while it is charging so no big deal.BTW, I think HyperX has confusing product releases and far too many similar sounding models. They really need to clean it up and help better explain what model is what and what is being sunset/replaced with what new model. I am still confused on what the "updated" model of the "flight" series is. If there even is one.
