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

Stealthy new colour scheme is gorgeous, Sound quality is still great, but with the added bonus of not needing dedicated sound hardware, The build quality is solid and aluminium touches ooze quality, Ear pads are comfy and the clamp pressure is bang on, T
The headband needs more padding, The volume switches on the in-line remote are naff
So, do the Cloud 2s live up to the promise of providing the great sound of the Cloud 1s to those who might not have the best audio source available to them whilst also providing 7.1 virtual surround sound?You bet they do, the USB sound processor Kingston...

53mm drivers, Excellent sound balance, Very comfortable, Quality construction, Attractive design available in gunmetal/red or limited edition white/pink, Included USB Soundcard w/ v7.1 rendering, Removable microphone, Choice of leather or velour earpads,
In our review of the original HyperX Cloud we really scraped around for some weak points, again with the Cloud II we find outselves in the same conundrum. Though there are differences worth noting. Firstly, we remind outselves that this is a gaming headse...
How time flies. It seems like just a couple of months ago that we reviewed Kingstons first Cloud headset but in fact it was July… thats ages in the technology world. We guess thats why they are now launching a second model and today we cover it in our...

Great fit, Decent surround sound, Good value for money
Cable could have been detachable
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II is definitely a better product than its predecessor, and virtual surround sound, even if it isn't very accurate, is a good addition. The headset is priced at Rs. 9,999. It's slightly more expensive than the original was, but t...

Should you buy the HyperX Cloud II instead of the Cloud? I don't know, to be honest. This is a pretty marginal improvement over last year--and at a slightly higher price. They're both fantastic budget headsets though, so it's really down to personal prefe...
The HyperX Cloud II headset isn't a massive update to the incredible original, but it still brings a notable array of improvements to the table. The addition of 7.1 surround sound, stronger sound isolation, and tweaks to the chat experience improved my ga...
