Review on ๐Ÿ”ด Renewed HYPERX Cloud II Gaming Headset for Multiconsole Use - Red by Xavier Xavier แ Œ

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

7.1 is nothing more than a marketing gimmick and an equalization setting. It was easy to comprehend given that the creation of authentic surround sound with only two speakers is physically impossible. There is no program that gives you the ability to customize the sound settings. The advantages of it include the following: Earphones made of metal that are both pleasant and of good quality. They fit well, despite the fact that they are placed back to back on my enormous skull; if they were any less adaptable, it would already be uncomfortable for me to wear them. Quite a capable microphone that can be molded almost any configuration. The sound is very enjoyable, in contrast to the sound of "esports" headphones like Steelseries, which are not suitable for anything else besides playing video games. These headphones are very versatile. The following are some of its negative aspects: When working through it, quiet clicks occasionally occur, which cannot be removed in any way, and technical support only shrugs and sends a replacement card in which the maximum volume is reduced. A massive marriage of the included USB sound card, which no reviewers mention: when working through it, quiet clicks occasionally occur; these clicks cannot be removed in any way (google HyperX Cloud II crackling sounds ). The issue is that the headphones only have one combined output (3.5 mm), hence without that, the microphone will not function. Because of this, you will either need to purchase a second USB dongle since the issue is localized to that component or a splitter that will divide the combined output into two separate outputs. There is a splitter that can be used in an airplane, but the distance that separates the connectors makes it highly unlikely that any case will accommodate it. It is important to note, in the sake of providing an explanation, that this problem is more noticeable at louder volumes and in settings where the music does not at its highest point of intensity (for example, a short pause after a hot moment). If you listen to it at a volume that is considered normal, you will not notice the effect. You won't have any issues replacing the card if you do it in the Kingston office that's located in Hong Kong. This marriage is well recognized there, and within a few minutes, the card was switched out for a regular one, and there was no interruption in service (before that, you need to contact technical support by phone). In addition to that, it cut the maximum volume by forty percent. This will be an annoyance for people who use their headphones as speakers on a regular basis.
