They were great headphones until there was a short near the connector

These were great headphones until there was a short near the connector. I had to hold the wire at the right angle for them to work. I'm very disappointed in the durability of the cable considering these are $100 headphones. I had the $5 harder USB cables. I will no longer buy HyperX products as this is a major design oversight.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Long wait

Best Noise Canceling Accessory

So, not so funny story: Someone in the apartment above us HIT. According to the police officer who questioned us, the attacker rang the doorbell upstairs and when the guy answered, the attacker stormed in and stabbed the guy. Want to know what the scary thing is? I couldn't hear anything thanks to my amazing HyperX Cloud 2 headphones. I bought them from Revain for $99.99 (free shipping). These things work as advertised! These are probably the best noise canceling headphones I've ever ownedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • No Instructions

Warning for Xbox users

First of all, the headphones are very comfortable. I could wear them all day. They sound good and all, but there's a catch for Xbox users: you can't use a 7.1 surround sound USB stick. After a quick chat with the support team (who were very nice) I found out that the thing is "incompatible" with Xbox. It would be nice to know this beforehand! The description says "Compatible with PC, PS4, Xbox One, etc." No! That doesn't work at all! The headphones still work, but not at the expected level.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Great headset but VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE

First of all, this headset is the best I have ever owned. The sound is high quality, the microphone works perfectly, a free windscreen is included, very comfortable ear pads with an additional set of corduroy. BUT the microphone will be DEFECTIVE on arrival and you need to do something to fix it and get the headset working again. By default the headset comes with firmware version 0030 which contains a bug that corrupts the microphone. To use the microphone on this headset, you need to go to the

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • No color required

Good build quality, terrible sound quality.

Purchased to replace a broken Razer Man O War headset. The Cloud II caught my attention because it was highly acclaimed and known for being nearly indestructible. After receiving the Cloud II, I connected USB 7.1 and the headset and ran some tests. The first test was music it handled pretty well, I turned on 7.1 mode and it only made things worse. Then I tried playing a few first person shooters with the 7.1 on and off and I couldn't tell where the shots or footsteps were coming from. Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Useful not just for it's intended purpose
Cons
  • Not the best

USB dongle is terrible

Headphones over audio jack are themselves well built, comfortable and have a fairly high sound quality. The biggest and unforgivable problem with their "7.1" USB adapter is a tremendous pass-through frequency. When I first received it I thought it was a defective part so I contacted Kingston and they happily sent another one, exactly the same problem. USB produces a constant white noise that is exaggerated by subtle audio changes at low volume. This is a totally unacceptable part that youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

HyperX just got a new life customer

I bought these to replace my old Logitech G430. They were getting old and it was painful for me to wear them for more than two hours at a time. So far these Cloud IIs have been amazing. They are very comfortable and the sound quality is great for what I use them for (gaming, chatting with friends). Pros: - Comfortable foam sits well on my head - Can be worn for a long time without a headache 360 degree hearing. The mic is very well made and crystal clear (according to my friends) and it doesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Protection

This review goes against my longstanding 'I never write a review' stance. I bought this headset in June 2016. Performance was great, sound, mic, my personal favorite is the stitched finish. nice gesture. However, this review is about the customer service I received when the USB port broke. I tried online customer service first. The representative (whose name I didn't get) was quick to confirm that this product was covered by a 2 year warranty and that my issue was indeed resolved. Cute! Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • So far so good
Cons
  • Something else
