The Kingston HyperX Cloud II aims to offer everything the average gamer would want from a headset. It boasts big 53mm drivers, surround sound processing, and a detachable microphone. It works with all of the major gaming platforms, including PC/Mac,...
Great sound quality ; Luxurious finish ; Thoughtful extras
Headphone cord doesn’t detach ; Flimsy carry case
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II sounds great, is packed with features and has loads of great extras, making it one of the best gaming headsets available at under £100.

Is this another win from the team at HyperX?
A high level of comfort while wearing them ; The battery lasts a decent amount of time ; Audio sounds fantastic
Doesn't feel like there is enough new here to warrant the price tag ; The microphone needed some more work
While there are many headsets on the market to consider, the HyperX Cloud II Wireless is certainly worth some strong consideration as not only is it comfy and easy to use, but it sounds great when it's up and running when used for gaming – less so if...

HyperX takes the beloved Cloud II headset into wireless territory.
Impressive wireless connection ; Excellent battery life ; Solid sound out-of-the-box
Sparse software ; No audio tweaks ; No wired connection option
If you want a wireless headset that you can just plug in and it works, the HyperX Cloud II Wireless + 7.1 is for you. This is a great headset for those without the patience to tweak settings, but it also means you're missing the features available to...

Surround sound has been the oft-under-appreciated holy grail of home theatre and gaming set ups for Surround sound has been the oft-under-appreciated holy grail of home theatre and gaming set ups for well over a decade. Traditionally this was something...
Gaming audio is fantastic. Although imperfect, 7.1 setting adds new dimension to gameplay.
Virtual surround sound is not as good as the real deal.

Meet the Kingston HyperX Cloud II gaming headset, the sequel to last year's version which sports an in-line USB audio control box with 7.1 virtual surround sound packed in and promises to up your game. Kingston's better known for its RAM, SD cards and...
Kingston's no stranger to high performance gaming-grade hardware and its HyperX Cloud II headset follows in the same suit. It's a sleek and understated headset that's attractive looking and doesn't scream that it's made for gaming, unlike some others...
There's not too much to dislike about Kingston's HyperX Cloud II headset, as it ticks all the right boxes for what you're after with a gaming headset. One minor complaint is that the headset's cord is not removable from the headset, which can make it a...
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II is a brilliant headset as it packs in plenty of bang for your buck and is well priced compared to its rivals. There are plenty of extras in the well presented box too, its mic is detachable and it works great with your PS4...

The HyperX Cloud II Wireless gaming headset ditches the original Cloud II's cord, while delivering the same, excellent feel and sound.
Expert review by : Will Greenwald (pcmag.com)
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II is a gaming headset that doubles as an unassuming pair of good-sounding, over-ear headphones.
Attractive, understated design. Solid build quality. Works with PCs and mobile devices as well as most modern game systems.
Virtual 7.1-channel surround isn't effective. Besides the USB sound card, cable isn't detachable.
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II is a well-built, comfortable, excellent-sounding gaming headset that comes with its own optional USB sound card. It's generous with accessories, and will work with all computers and mobile devices, and most game systems out...

HyperX's wireless gaming headset offers cloud-like comfort and brilliant audio
Superb comfort and sturdy design ; Satisfying audio ; Effective surround sound
Pricey ; Lacks EQ settings ; Volume levels can be low
The HyperX Cloud II Wireless brings the thunder thanks to deep, immersive audio and comfortable ear cups that are as soft as cloud clouds, but the headset lacks some more advanced settings.

The HyperX Cloud 2/Cloud II Wireless are comfortable gaming headphones that are compatible with PCs, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch consoles. Thanks to their wire...
Over 30 hours of continuous battery life. Well-built and comfortable design. Excellent performing boom mic.
Middling noise isolation performance. No channel mixing. No music or call management controls. Sub-par passive soundstage. Don't support Bluetooth.
The HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless are good for neutral sound. They have a slightly bass-heavy sound profile with a neutral and even mid-range that helps accurately reproduce vocals and lead instruments. However, their treble-range is a bit uneven, resulting...

The HyperX Cloud II are an above-average gaming headset with a decently balanced sound and a casual design you can use outdoors. They easily pass for regular headphones, once you remove the mic, although they do not have a control scheme that's ideal...
Negligible latency. ; Good audio reproduction and microphone. ; Well-built and comfortable design.
Poor noise isolation. ; Slightly bulky. ; Can sound sharp on some tracks. ; Bass delivery varies significantly across users. Sensitive to glasses.
