HyperX - Cloud II (Wired)

I always recommend something from HyperX. The cloud 2 has a more fun sound, while the cloud 3's are more balanced. I also find the 3's to be hands down the best for comfort and their wireless varieties (especially the 3 S) being the best tuned out of the box without eq

In my experience the hyperx cloud headset is one of the best options for the price just don't lose the detachable mic

for me its HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset i still have it after 3y and its still better then any other take a look [https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/\_c3YaWPnH](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3YaWPnH)

Easily HyperX Cloud 2. Have had 2 pairs, both were great. Good audio, comfortable and pretty sturdy. The value for money you get on them is amazing IMO.

In my opinion I had the 1 for the longest time. It started to fall apart, the ear covers anyway. Got the replacements on Amazon for 15 bucks and they still work perfectly since 2021. The cloud 2s I bought and tbh they hurt my ears after wearing for several hours. Good for short sessions and bad for long sessions. Id go 1 cause the ear cushions are better suited for long sessions. Even though they aren't wireless.

560s is possibly the upgrade you are looking for. You can attach different cable and microphone. I went Game Zero - HyperX Cloud 2 - Game One - 560s. Zero regrets.

i had mine for like 7 years. they are solid. i do agree these are a banger combo for an all in one headset. But. i recently upgraded to a standalone headset with an amp dac and a standalone mic i already had. the difference is night and day in quality. While i do recommend these for budget or people who cant be bothered but this is by no means the headphone endgame

Hyper x Cloud II has been great and considerably cheaper

ch720n is fine but if you can stretch budget a bit, get a proper gaming headset, 720s are like a mid-tier for a reason; you'll feel the difference in positional audio. 90% of us are on something like a HyperX or HyperX Cloud, not a budget Sony.

I'm currently thinking about returning the fractal scape as well... I love the headset but it's kinda uncomfortable coming from and cloud 2 wired. My cloud 2 is already cooked but I can't find a new wireless headset which is comfy as the cloud 2. I wanted to avoid hyper x again because I hate that the leather flakes so fast...

that explains my audio issues, sadly support never told me this and now i am outside the window to return them.

Had one of these for like 6 years. Finally was giving me some issues. Got another one. Love this headset

Ive had good experience with the HyperX cloud range

Easily HyperX Cloud 2. Have had 2 pairs, both were great. Good audio, comfortable and pretty sturdy. The value for money you get on them is amazing IMO.

I ordered the cloud 2 and I love it honestly, took a minute to get used to but the sound is better for valorant which is what i play, the back of the sound controls has a lcip so i can just clip it onto something else. Both are honestly great imo.

@op I have the ath-m50x bt2, best headphones I've ever owned. I had the razer blackshark v2 pro before this, but the charging port went out, or had some other electrical issues like a month after I got them... Quite sad as I loved how they looked and sounded. They're my blender hearing protection now haha. I do have a blue desk mic tho so if you don't, I might consider other headphones. Also, I would consider not doing Bluetooth as the above person isn't, I have issues in certain games with the Bluetooth protocols in windows. Black ops 6 and rocket League are the easiest example, as soon as a match starts and I connect to voice chat, bluetooth immediately and fully crashes until I restart my computer. System Bluetooth settings get laggy, I can turn off Bluetooth but it won't turn back on and it shows no Bluetooth adapter. It is a known issue, and for most turning off hands free telephony in windows fixes, but def doesn't for me. This however doesn't happen in most games and ABI is amazing with them as are most games. I have my old hyper x cloud 2 wired for those games XD.

I've had the Hyper Cloud X. The plastic part holding the earphone to the base has broken 2x. The first time they reluctantly replaced the headphones after a month of arguing. The second time they wouldn't. They don't sell the little plastic piece so you have to find a 3d printer to pay for them to be made. Total waste and won't buy their product again.

Tbh I really like the official. Ive had the hyperX cloud II (predecessor) and Steelseries, and while they sound decent... I found the Steelseries makes my ears hurt after like 20 mins. Good mic, decent sound quality too. It just squeezed my head. But, depending on your head shape/size and ears, it may not be an issue. They just clamp down too hard, too much of an angle, imo. The cloud II's were my fav. Comfy, could wear them for a few hours even. The mic was hit or miss, and did eventually break. Im an adult, I take care of my stuff - it should have lasted quite a bit longer. Idk if this issue carried over to the newer models. Only other complaint was that it was a bit heavy, and it would make my ears sweat. The official though? Ticks all the boxes. Comfy, light, good sound, great mic, and wireless! And the battery lasts a good while - like I dont think they ever actually died while in-use. I just plugged them in when I was done and they were always good to go. Id say they have a good 20 hours at least.

I used a cloud II for a few years, started flaking and got a cloud III because number bigger + on sale (both were wired and i did not use the headset mic). Sound quality feels the same to me, ill have to see how this one handles with age but OOTB its comfy (MAYBE comfier than the 2 not sure). Overall, both will treat you well

I use the Hyper X Cloud and love it

Hyperx cloud 2 or alpha, best quality price ratio.

Yeah that same part has broken on every pair of HyperX Clouds I've owned. I had two pairs that lasted decent length, but then I just opened a new pair like 2 months ago and that piece is already broken again. I used to be a fan but now I'm searching for a new brand.

The cloud 2 have been garbage after hp bought it in 2021. The quality hasn't been the same since
