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

Gaming audio is fantastic. Although imperfect, 7.1 setting adds new dimension to gameplay, Metal frame means no creaking, making it great for Oculus Rift gaming, Great for music too, Plenty of volume, Microphone clarity is excellent, Supremely comfortable
Virtual surround sound is not as good as the real deal, Audio cable should be on the right, Noise cancelling microphone is not perfect.
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II gaming headset is one of my all time favourites and I have only been using it for just over a week. It has excellent sound quality in a number of different scenarios and it is easily one of the most comfortable I have ever wor...
