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
Amazing Audio, Lightweight, Can be used with gaming consoles
No companion software for tuning, Virtual 7.1 doesn't provide much dep
The Kingston HyperX Cloud II is a steal at its current price with the level of performance that can stand on its own against premium gaming headsets. While certain features might not stand out as much, this headset does give gamers the essentials when it...

Kingston's HyperX Cloud II is pretty much the same headphones as the previous model with an accompanying 7.1 surround sound capabilities. If you already have the first one, there's really no need to upgrade to the Cloud II. But if you're shopping for new ...

about it:
It's always difficult to come up with the successor to a product that many considered to be the best. So rather than coming up with an entirely different beast on their next release, Kingston retained pretty much everything that made the HyperX Cloud such...

The first HyperX Cloud from Kingston is a well revered product, and matters never changed with the introduction of the HyperX Cloud II. It's still the same great performing gaming headset that boast additional features here and there to better suite the m...
At a glance, the Kingston Cloud II gaming headset is exactly the Cloud headset with an extra sound device and to be perfectly, that's exactly what it is. The official product page for the Cloud II doesn't go all out in saying its anything new or revolutio...

surround feature was a great addition to an already great gaming headset. We liked the first Cloud and this even made us love it more. Another best thing for the Cloud II is that is still retain the same price range with the original Cloud, which...
The HyperX Cloud II Headset delivers exceptional audio quality through it's simulated 7.1 headset when enabled. Not only does it serve as a gaming headset, the microphone is also pretty sensitive and is able to pick up the audio and mask down the backgrou...
