The editors didn't like
Long cables
None!
7.1 surround sound only works on PC
Separate adapter needed when used with Xbox One
The headset does not travel well as it doesn't fold flat – they are not comfortable to walk around with hanging on your neck
Ultimately
A better driver needs to be used for improved audio. Positioning is weak with the original Cloud that may be helped
Lackluster bass
No software for customizing sound
Imperfect fit
Hard-to-reach button
No hardware volume controls
Virtual 7.1-channel surround isn't effective. Besides the USB sound card
Cable isn't detachable
That darned lid for the microphone is easily lost
Not able to use mute or volume controls when in use on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One
7.1 virtual surround sound
While it works may not be enjoyed by everyone
Wired only
Not portable
Surround sound can make music sound worse
Only certain devices can use surround sound
Not the greatest chat audio
Still a wired device
Pressure gradient
Need to include an adapter that allows 3.5mm plug usage on a PC
7.1 Channel Surround doesn't have much depth
Software for controlling and fine tuning the USB DSP would have been preferred
USB interface for PC. Yes this was listed in the pros as well
No control software for the sound card
Need an adapter if you want to use it in stereo mode with a PC and be able to use the microphone

Great build, Very comfortable, Great audio quality
Bass is not good, No wired option, Shrill idle and feedback sounds
They HyperX Cloud II feels great and, for the most part, sounds great. While the clarity and surround sound are incredible, the dialogue boosting and lack of bass stop it from being the perfect general use headset
Imperfect fit, Hard-to-reach button, No hardware volume controls
There's nothing that exciting about the Cloud Earbuds. That's good, because it means there's nothing to get in the way of the solid sound and dead-simple functionality. It's also a little disappointing, though, because with a few hardware innovations, the...

Audio quality and comfort will always be subjective so choosing a gaming headset is as difficult as shopping for PC monitors, if not much harder. we recommend taking the time to try these gaming headsets out from retail stores near you so you can hear an...

Incredibly comfortable, great value, solid sound quality,
Harder to mute, no mic sidetone
While the Cloud II couldn't claim the overall top score, it is still one of our absolute favorites when it comes to these products. It did well across the board, delivering a great performance at an even better price. While some other products have slight...

The HyperX Cloud II is attractive for many reasons, including its modular and comfortable design, premium build quality, great 7.1 surround and stereo sound, and affordable price. It's also great for laptop gamers since it obviates the need for a dedicate...
Abstract: Open up a world of detail other gamers will never know – the rustle of a camper's boot, the scuttle in a distant vent. The HyperX Cloud II's independent audio and microphone volume control lets you adjust not only sound volume but also mic volume and easi...

The Cloud II's are rated at less than 2% Total Harmonic Distortion . In simplistic terms, this is how accurate the equipment is in reproducing audio and how much the sound can be distorted from the source material. In the realms of audiophile equipment...
