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

At £74.99 the HyperX Cloud II 7.1 gaming headset is extremely impressive in all aspects. It looks and feels exquisite, one special note is that it is very comfortable to wear with help from the memory foam headband, which doesn't make you feel like you've...

Abstract: The Kingston HyperX Cloud II Headset is a step up from their Cloud model because it has 7.1 virtual surround sound. The 53mm drivers along with the hardware-driven DSP USB sound card produces great sound. Also, being designed in Sweden it's very stylish a...

Abstract: After the success of the Hyper X Cloud Pro Gaming headset Kingston went back to the drawing board to make a product that would be a worthy successor. The question was, how do you top something that is that good? The Hyper X Cloud Pro was (and still is) an...
Abstract: They say the key to a good speech is to establish credentials, so let me start by talking about what an audio buff I am. I've been a serious musician for more than half of my life, and I've been recording and producing music for the last four or five year...

Of all the headsets I've had the privilege of using, the performance of the Kingston HyperX Cloud II Pro Gaming Headset exceeds its price point. The audio quality alone is nothing short of fantastic to experience during any gaming. All of those extra freq...
Astonishing that Kingston took an already fully functioning headset, one that was less than a year old, and transformed it into a piece of art. The newly added 7.1 audio is a pleasure to listen to and the comfort material is out of this world. For the rea...
