Touchy wireless charging, Inconsistent mic
The Cloud Flight S is a great headset that could be even better. While the wireless charging, mic and software leave something to be desired, the design, comfort and sound quality are just what you'd expect from a HyperX gadget.In the same price range, my...
If it comes down to the Cloud Flight versus the Cloud Flight S, you might as well buy the latter. They're practically the same price, and the Cloud Flight S offers more controls in a prettier package. I can't imagine why you'd go with the old model, regar...

Great audio quality, Sturdy design with good buttons, Soft, comfortable earcups
Wireless charging is hit and miss, Fairly expensive, Underwhelming mic
A comfortable, well-constructed headset with great features overshadowed by a somewhat pointless USP, the Cloud Flight S from HyperX isn't the cheapest headset around, but you do get your money's worth...
