Amazon.com.au:Customer reviews: HyperX Cloud II

Pros:

1. Played Rainbow Six Siege with this headset. I could hear ash's footsteps from halfway across the map and could tell exactly where it was coming from. 10/10 for soundwhoring.

2. On control panel audio devices, you should click properties for this headset and set the frequency in 'advanced' to the max because it isn't maxed by default. It improves sound quality and crispness a lot.

Cons:

1. It's very tight and creates this kind of suction when you put it on, which feels like when you're driving to a high mountain top and your ears start getting blocked. It's not really that uncomfortable, to be honest as you eventually forget it's there.

2. The firmware updater will tell you the latest version is 0010, and that you have the newer version 0030. This is not true, Hyper X admitted that it was a mistake and that 0010 is actually the latest version. So please go to the website, download the latest firmware update even if it tells you that you're downgrading to an older version.

On PS4 it might not work until you update the firmware :)

3. Virtual 7.1 surround sound is both a pro and a con. For gaming, it's terrible and messes up the directional audio because it emulates and duplicates directional audio that most games already have. But when listening to some music, it can sound really good.

Excellent

I’m very happy with the all round quality, comfort and experience of this headset. Dita nicely over my ears and sits firm on my head without feeling like my brains are being squeezed out.
Sound is phenomenal. For music, gaming and general use. Picks up so much more, sometimes disturbingly so, especially when in a spooky place in game. Music is great, bass is bassy.
Quality is top notch. From m the extra long adaptable cord to the decorative stitching along the padded head band. Mic is easy to pop on, and works really well. No complaints from other players about poor quality. And is easily adjustable from the remote that’s attached to the cord (which has a clip on the back so you can pop it on your shirt) also has a handy mute button on the side.

I recommend these to anyone who loves seriously good sound even without it’s extra booster button.

I rate this headset - coming from Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro

I play competitive CSGO and these headphones are really well rounded and provide great comfort and sound quality at the same time. I use Sound Equalisation in Windows settings and can hear a lot in-game. I feel as if this headset is really well balanced for all in-game audio, especially compared to the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (which are great headphones, but for gaming I think these are better). Microphone quality is generally quite good, I had a situation where I sounded robotic, but resetting my PC alleviated that issue.

Worth it!

Really good sound quality, and comfortable to wear. It's worth the little bit of extra money, as it is an extremely pleasant headset overall.
Bought it about 9 months, and have been using it almost daily, for my streaming, or just watching movies.

10/10 recommend!!

Comfortable but not good for gaming

Sound quality good, but not really good for gaming that requires precise echolocation. It often makes the stuff happening slightly to the side sound much further left or right than it really is.

Comfy, good quality = happiness

Everything you need in a headset

Ill boil this down to a list of pros and cons;

PROS:

-Amazing sound, this headset really sounds good on even just the 5.1 surround sound (which is what it defaults to when using this headset for Xbox or Playstation), while gaming you can hear every sound around you crystal clear, and adding the amazing bass with it, it's perfect.

-Microphone quality is fantastic, my friends who I talk to on Xbox Live tell me ive never sounded clearer.

-The price is really good for what's it brings to the table.

-it comes with a protective bag you can keep them safe in

-the cord is braided which means it's not breaking unless you try to break it

CONS

-the microphone is detachable and does not fold up well if you wish to tuck it away, you'd have to take it right off

-I took a look inside the speakers just to see how the wire quality was, and it's not amazing, so you might wanna be careful with these and not knock them around

Overall amazing product, definitely worth the buy

Pricey

Well made good value

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2020

Really good head set, I purchased this to be able to pin point footsteps and reload noises on PUBG. I have also used it on fortnight and COD Warzone and it performs very well.

Without this headset I rely on visual play only and it can be a bit unfair when you watch an enemy killcam replay and you see it was your footsteps they heard first.

The headset works on most platforms however for the PS4 you have to first update the sound card through it’s usb on a computer. This is easy to do, literally go on their website plug in your sound card and follow the update instructions. The sound card supports 5.1 surround sound, so it’s easy to locate those important sounds.

Not sure if the Xbox one needs an update but just be aware before buying incase you don’t have a pc.

The headset sound quality is more of a treble setup rather than bass. It picks up most of the sound effects and amplified them whilst reducing the bass.

It has no voice mixer on it so you can’t turn down chat and game volume independently. This was a let down for me but I’ve stuck with the headset as it’s very good value and very well made.

It comes in a well presented sturdy box and has a nice carry case. Also in the box you will receive two pairs of headset cushions, one made of leather and one made of soft fabric.

The microphone on this headset is very clear and voice sensitivity control can be adjusted through the sound card dongle. The microphone can be detached and transforms the headset in to a cool looking casual set of music headphones.

With the dongle and headset wire combined, it’s roughly three meters so you have a good amount of free play.

Being wired and having no preset functions make this a simple to use, pick up and play headset.

Overall if your after a headset for FPS battle royale type games then you can’t go wrong with these.
