![HyperX Cloud II vs Cloud Alpha vs Cloud Alpha S [Review and Comparison]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xDLfYHe2ZBY/mqdefault.jpg)
all the hyperX's the core, cloud and cloud 2 are identical in terms of sound quality it's just the extra features that set them apart.
Yes they are
Very true but that volume modifier does look game changer cx
That's not helpful
7.1 oh headphones 😂
been using cloud cores for 3 years. ive literally never changed them. everything else in my setup has changed but my headset. these are amazing
had the cloud core for like 6 years now they finally broke on me
its late 2018, I got the hyper x cloud 2 last week, Its a really great headset specially for my FPS games, really great sound with good surround sound
Verry recommended!
Thx man I am getting some for Christmas and its nice to know that these guys are telling the truth
@@natedog9499 anytime man 🙂
Quick question does the Xbox support the surround sound ?
Can it work in Nintendo switch? I'm only gonna use it in my Switch...
u should've got the cloud alpha it's the same price but even better
CLOUD CORE OWNER HERE. just the best headset for the price.
NoobaGutt agreed
Velour pads are kinda needed tho. But can be bought separately
NoobaGutt are they comfortable
U use it for ps4?
NoobaGutt are they 7.1?
I bought the cloud 2 in march and i can honestly say that they are ridiculously tough! The headphones sounds phenomenal and the mic is really good, For a $100 dollar headset this is a steal!
Couldn't have said it better myself
the hyperx could 2 is $130 for me.. a bit pricey.
$160 here hahahaha
+Ikaros Delt ouch
Well to be honest i'm from jamaica, so mine didn't cost me just a $100, in my currency it was about $18,500!
I have the HyperX Cloud 2, and they are amazing. Best headset I've ever used.
7.1 XD
It's compatible for the Ps4 right? USB or just the headphone jack?
Great to hear! Just ordered it extra cheap thanks to Black Friday :D
Galactic Zombie if you plug it to a console will the mute button work ?
It's Duskull Sorry. I have no idea. I have only used them with a pc.
I love when TH-cam has exactly what I'm looking for
I have had my Cloud Core’s for about 3.5-4 years and everything is fine except for worn out earpads, mic piece and braided cable is all torn up, just making sure that getting replacement earpads for the Cloud Core match with the Cloud 2. I bought them for $50 CAD back when NCIX was still around. Really impressive for $50 and even impressive for other headphones that are over $120 like my old Turtle Beach headset that broke (and wasn’t comfortable). I don’t think I’ll ever try another headset because I wear glasses and they don’t hurt at all, they’re pretty much invincable and they work on both my PC and Xbox.
Thanks for the video, my Clouds 1 just went off after more than 3 years and at least I know that I dont have to buy them but the cloud cores.
My core is still strong and working after 5 years! While cloud 2 is still new and hoping that it will last same or more
6:11 Means summit can wear them?
I bought the Core and tried it for a week and it's the best headset under 100$, I even take it with me in many outgoings, also this headset fell from a table brutally and still working super! Thanks for this amazing review, I was hesitating whether to buy it or not since I thought its durability is like razer headsets, trash..
so glad you like them. they really are hard to beat for the money. they are some of the best you can buy period
Lasted me 6 years greatest budget headset
I have the cloud core and they are amazing!!! I can't find any down side. Maybe the weight is little bit heavy but the sound quality and build quality are excellent.
they are just simply hard to beat. they sound incredible, mic sounds good and they are durable as hell
WOWOWOW! I just bought the HyperX Cloud (one) and this is the first thing I'm listening to with them! I'm no audiophile but these have amazing (and LOUD!) sound compared to the cheapo speakers I was using before.
PS: The Cloud I also has a pouch, but the little boxy thing on the Cloud is a volume control where the one on the Cloud II is a 7.1 adapter (my girlfriend's son has the Cloud II)
The HyperX Cloud headsets are so damn good. they are impossible to beat for the money and they are the most comfortable. Glad you like them
Thanks for the breakdown on these headsets. Only thing I want to know is would the cloud core perform similarly to the cloud 2 if the sound car was purchased separately?
thanks man! you really helped me decide on a headphone
I just bought the core for 38 usd (taxes included) I think i got a great deal
From where?
Michael Jordan local store from my home country....
bogdan negoie if you connect it to a console does the mute button work?
I am using them on pc...
is there a mute button without the 7.1 cable ?
Been using cloud core for years. Finally went out due to me being horrible to them. They are great and I’m definitely gonna buy them again.
Had em for 6 years they just went out on me
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I was looking so hard for the mic differences between the Cloud variants, and thought that it was either the same across all Cloud variations, or that Core had the same one as Cloud II and not the same as Cloud I. This has helped me make my choice of purchase. Which will still be a Cloud, obviously ^ ^
PS Kept thinking i would buy Audio-Technica M50 at some point, but i've always hesitated. Even the sound signature of Clouds fits me more, let alone the fact that this is a headset, not just headphones. I'm not producing music or videos: i just game and consume content, and i wasnt a headset. The decent clip-on mics cost at least $35, which makes purchasing M50's even less justified for me.
Now if they put Cloud II mic into the Core, i would go and buy them right now. But i think i'll wait a bit for a good deal on Cloud II in my region despite i have a Siberia sound card (that old one from V2).
No problem. Thank you for checking out the video. I completely agree on the Cloud being a better overall headphone/headset. I use my HyperX Cloud more than any other set and they just keep getting better and better. Now if they would make a wireless HyperX Cloud I would be in heaven.
...or the open-back version. I keep looking at Audio-Technica ATH-PDG1 which are around $120 on Amazon now, but i could never get my hands them to test the sound. I know the mic is incredible, and i would love the wide sound stage of the open-back headphones in gaming, but i just have to listen to them first. The closed-back PG1 i could test by trying almost identical ATH-PRO5MK2 which i did not like.
So currently i'm leaning towards Cloud II, but the open-back ATH-PDG1 just keep teasing me with that $120 tag which might not last long. However, I have tried the Clouds, and I love their sound more than anything besides the M50's.
Paul Radziyevsky the Cloud 2 are simply amazing and for the price you can't beat them. Also, the Philips SHP9500 open back headphones you can find for around $60 and then use the V-Moda BoomPro mic which you can find for $20-$30. Damn near hard to beat that combination too. Anything Audio Technica you can't go wrong with either
I litterally just bought a cloud core for 68 bucks at gamestop brand new and it came with the digital mic and the 7.1 sound card.
hows that?? i am kinda interested to buy this as well
I'm really stuck in between the cloud and the cloud 2.... Is surround sound that important when in comes to gaming? I'm new to it and really don't know which headset to get. which one would you go for? your review was really great!!
I'll go with cloud 1, better surround sound, and that is really importent, i.know im 1 year late, NO need to tell me :D
cloud 1 doesn't have surround sound
It's Sameer what type of device do you plan to us it for?
Stereo genrerally has better "resolution" (determining _what_ is making a sound), but 7.1 surround - generally - gives you better spatial awareness (finding out _where_ the sound is coming from).
*If you can afford it, **_Cloud II > Cloud I_* because you have the option to use stereo or surround with the included equipment. You can't do that with the Cloud I
guys i can't decide between cloud 2 and cloud alpha pls help
Nice video bro! It helps me to make my decision to finally buy the cloud 2 tomorrow. Keep up the goodwork gamesky!
Just ordered a brand new Core for the regional equivalent of 29$ on sale. Couldn't say no to that, as it looks like a jackpot to me! Can't wait to try them out.
holy shit! that is a great deal
thanks for the great review this helped a lot in my decision. i have decided to go with the Hyperx cloud 2 and they are even on sale for $70 bucks
Excellent choice
Thanks for the great review. Just ordered the HyperX Cloud Core, because they are basically the same as the original HyperX Cloud without the accessories. I'd rather have the better mic that's comes with the Cloud II, but I don't care for the manufactured "surround sound."
Same i ordered mine as well
Shit, you sold me on the Cloud 2. I was gonna go with the Cloud Core since the audio quality is all the same (great quality, 60 Ohm resistance), but damn that amplifier is dope AF.
Couldn't you plug the digital mic into the core/1, and the sound card into the core/1 as well? I wonder if they sell those separately.
Don't know about the mic, but the Cloud 1 has two inputs for headphones and mic, while the Cloud 2 has one input for both. The problem with the 7.1 soundcard is it only has one input jack for the combined input. So the Cloud 1 isn't compatible with it.
+Victorious Secret couldnt you use an adapter, and how about the cloud core?
Core also uses two inputs. Adapter should work though.
If nothing else, you could just plug in the audio input for just the sound.
But I don't think they sell the 7.1 deal separately. Not directly anyway. Might find one used I guess. Probably cheaper and easier to just get the Cloud 2 on sale as opposed to Core+adapter+used 7.1 dongle, if you really want that.
I have the cloud core, it's got one combo jack, with a separate headphone/microphone jack adapter.
+Victorious Secret the Cloud I came with a 2to1 adapter as wells as several extension cables. i plan on making good use of those
This is a great video! So many people bought one of the headsets because of you. Just want to say thank you :D
thanks for the kind words. I wanted to tell as many people as possible about these. I love the Hyperx headsets
I haven't noticed any mics built in with the Cloud I, So how am I supposed to have a mic? Is it that mic that is plugged into the computer? That's not good, I want it attached to the headset is that possible?
Detachable mic did You pay attention
Chewy Potato yes
@@lance4002 I have cloud 1 and I play on pc and ps4 and the sound is equal in both and really amazing
Thanks for the clear and to the point video!
I buyed the hyperX cloud 2 and its amazing !! And the ledder isn't that all good so i swithed to The Soft Foam and i must say its dam good
Going to pick up the Cloud II today..thanks for the video.
Travoli Tube no problem.....Enjoy them
Tried the hyperx cloud core with music there more neutral very little bass. But hyperx cloud alpha have more bass not alot but more noticeable. And the hyperx cloud mix even more bass then the alphas
Mine died in the same place all headphones die, broken cables near the plug. The plastic spring they have to protect the cable breaks down then it will bend too sharply, especially if your phone's headphone jack is at the top.
its VIRTUAL 7.1 , and its shit .
letter992stuki are you saying the Cloud II sound like shit?
No . They are made from Takstar pro 80 and they are awesome . Im saying that VIRTUAL 7.1 is a crap . and he didnt say in the video that , that is virtual surround.
Agreed. 7.1 mess with orientation in game.
letter992stuki if you want a real 7.1 just go buy profesional speaker you dumb
I'm fine with my hd 598
Awesome review, i mean again... I`m so glad you make this video (Thumbs UP!!!) I have Asus Orion Pro headset with a sound card and these are spectacular. I will take these HyperX too test it to myself but lets definitely wait the wireless version. Man, you remember i ask to you make a video Y50 BT AKG headphones? Possible? ... You have one of the best reviews in youtube so i wait more videos. Take care!
thanks, I do remember but I haven't gotten a hold of them yet
could you use the cloud core with the usb dongle of the cloud 2? my cloud 2 died but i have the usb thing and the mic left so i want to buy the cheap one and "upgrade" it
MrAlternervnet1 u figured it out? Also have the same problem
@@jhonnie6778 so do i ...
@@柴柴-n1c wait i dont have that problem lol wt :U
@@jhonnie6778 lol i taged the wrong person my bad
watched tons of hyperx cloud vids. after watching ur vids, im now more confident to get one. thanks
no problem. i honestly can't say enough on how good these are. let me know what you think when you get them and thanks for checking out the video
does the remote work with ps4?
NOPE... I had to return it just for that reason. This should be mainly titled for PC than PS4.
but it does plug in using the regular headphone jack plugged into the controller where the mic and headphones work just fine
Thanks for the video, great job. Have been looking for headphones for my PS4. Looks like the Cloud II for me
+adultchildgaming thanks. Excellent choice by the way
Stinger or core? I'm looking for a nice but still cheap pair of headphones for gaming
Mr_T 03 core
Core is cheaper (at least in Australia) and both much better in build quality and better in sound quality. Not sure about their mic qualities though.
Mr_T 03 I hate that the core doesn't have a volume box for it.
Core for sure in terms of build quality and sound quality. They are also slightly more comfortable. The only downfall of the Core is that it doesn't have a build in volume and mic toggle / buttons.
core
Thanks, I was wondering what the difference is while shopping around. Definitely going to get one of these.
One bad thing, they are quite heavy for long gameplays
barely lol
+Bunsen Bill they are 2 plus hours and you need to take them off
i wore them 2 days straight.
try to wear Siberia650 and you will feel how light is this headset ahha
They are called Cloud for a reason.
Got the Cloud Core for programming, was going to get Bose Noise Cancelling but so glad I got these.
great review :) covered all i needed to know in one fell swoop thanks ^^
thanks, I am glad it helped you out. Can't go wrong with any HyperX headset you buy
thank you for this awesome review. Helped me narrow down my choice
Not to throw a kink in your decision but the new HS50 from Corsair is amazing.....and only $50
I’d go with the HS50.....they have blown me away
Chewy Potato comfort wise, they are both great.....but nothing is going to beat HyperX in comfort
Great review man thanks a lot you really helped me make my mind up about the HyperX cloud sets. Thinking I'm gonna go with the Cloud 2s.
Mohawkology no problem, glad i could help
Gamesky you did indeed pal, just ordered some Cloud 2s.
Mohawkology let me know what you think once you get to try them out. those are honestly one of the best headsets for the money
Gamesky Will do. That was one of my key considerations running on a budget; I needed value for money. Hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow.
Gamesky So far been using them for under a week, got the Cloud 2s in the end and I'm so glad I did. Sound quality is brilliant, they're super comfortable and the build quality is exceptional.
First night wearing these original Hyper X Clouds and i have to agree they are great headphones. I think i like them better than my Grado sr80s, and yes i know one's open back and and the other is closed, but i got these today for nothing from my sadly deceased very good friends mom as she is going through his stuff and i've been helping her sell his tech like PS4's, games, Xbox's, Nintendo etc and she said here take these still in the box Hyper X Clouds and i really needed some closed back headphones as my Bose qc25s have started not working proper, so big ups my good friend Daniel, i will make great use of these bro, and i see you on the other side ma dude. RIP.
Hey man nice review. Been searching for a gaming headset and heard a lot of good reviews of the Hyper X series. This video gave me a better understanding of the product. Thanks!
thanks so much. you honestly can't go wrong with any of these. glad I could help
thank you for making this video, i really didn't know the difference
I hate it when people say "lol I got these for 3 dollars" or some bullshit like that.
Can you do a new showdown video, but this time between the Cloud Alpha and the Cloud Revolver?
I'll stick to the logitech g430. Not the best fitting or comfy like the cloud's. But they sound much, much better. Richer base and a louder sound stage. The cloud 2's sound muted in comparison, tinny even. The mic for the cloud 2 is better, but for over all sound. G430 blows any cloud product out of the water sadly.
Yes, I have owned them all and yes I love audio immersion.
Why when i look up the date for when the movie harry potter and the sorcerers stone released it says online NOvermber 14, 2001 but your poster says november 16
This is the poster from the release in England (although I'm in the US) which was different
I have the cloud 1 and thought that the core is just renamed version of the Cloud 1. Nice to see there's actual difference
My cloud 1s broke within the first two months of use and I treated them like they were my child
I just bought these for 42 dollars in Denmark. Great for the price.
I bought these, because i wanted to use my ATH-m50x's at work.
And i really can't find any compromises over the ATH-m50x's
Wow, got the hyper x cloud 2's recently and the bass is very high compared to my original Cloud 1's possibly due to its own sound card rather than using my motherboard's on board audio (Realtek). To note, back in 2016 I got the Cloud 1's and they still work to date... built to last forsure
the cloud core is the best head set i dont know why but i just got a the cloud alpha but it sounded trash but when i put on the cloud core it sounded so nice so i went ahead and return the cloud alpha and kept the cloud core
Same here... the Cloud Alpha is worthless... the sound is garbage... and the headset construction has low quality..
so basically cloud core is a cloud 2 without 7.1 surround sound and those small small things? or the cloud core is a cloud 1 without small small things?
Are hyperx cloud core 1 and 7.1 are similar or have any difference
I just bought the cloud core and they are everything you said and more. wanted to see a review to see if it was a good deal.
Jeremy Uhrig easily the best deal you can find on a headset
thanks for the video! i just purchased a cloud core for 50$ at ncix can't wait!
no problem, you are going to love this headset. they are the most comfortable and sound amazing!
Digital surround spund just fucks up the EQs, and is muddy and shitty. He made the mic sound so much better on the Cloud IIs, but the Cloud Core and Cloud have actually pretty good microphones. For the price, the Core is the best.
Also, I would really recommend if you will be moving around a lot or not using them exclusively for PC to tape down the little cables attached to the cups so they don't get tugged. Also, make sure you don't lose the microphone, cause if it gets caught under your couch, etc, it's toast.
I bought the Stingers too, and the mic is trash. It broke for no reason, and the prong is wobbly/bends.
tbh 7.1 surround sound is just a gemick get the cloud 1 or the core if the 7.1 surround sound is the reason you're buying the cloud 2
some dead meme really? Because after watching a bunch of videos and using them myself, they do actually work. I would recommend using them and they do come with different headphone ear pads,
@@trashcan4918 just go and ask an audiofile, there is allot of controversy surrounding this topic
I am going to get the Cloud II. They look a lot like my Beyerdynamic DT770 but time for a upgrade. I always have problems with the cable turning hard as a rock after so long. It is only the part of the cable next to my head. The braided cable sold it for me.
Just bought skullcandy crushers for myself and bought hyper X cloud 1 for my bro :D.
You have excellent taste
therefore i conclude, all hyperx cloud headsets are the same, the way they sound and the appearance of each model. Nice review sir, very accurate. Love the hyperx's 😊
thanks so much. it is very hard to beat the HyperX headsets
Yes it is, i tried to find other branded gaming headsets and hyperx cloud won
+macrabregaming _ I want to try the new Revolver headset they have. looks very interesting
I haven't used any cloud headset, but it seems like people milk this brand of headsets for its "amazing" audio.
JAKOSHUA amazing audio, durable as hell and one of the most comfortable headsets you will ever use
Subscribed and thanks for the review :)
I appreciate the sub and thanks for checking out the video
I was going to buy the Cloud II's for $110 but the day I went on the store and I saw them for $70, I pressed the "buy" button instantly.
I heard once a HyperX Revolver at my friend's house and instantly fell in love with it; later i bought a Cloud Core and i was absolutely impressed by how good it sounded..
Definitely worth it.... and one more thing... don't ever buy the "Cloud Alpha" it is an absolute garbage.
Great video 👍🏼
Cloud II Owner.
It is the best choice for profesional streams, and gaming.
99$
Love it!
I can confirm these headphones are hard to mess up. SBZ max bass boost (EQ and control panel) with a ridiculously high bass track at 100% volume cant blow these out. That's about 600 ohms + the ridiculous bass.
Cloud 2 owner here. I use it for ps4 and xbox one
plus i just subbed to you man great video
I'm watching this on November 16th and it kinda spooked me that the poster in the background says November 16
thank you for this review aj styles
Great comparison! I'm thinking about replacing my crappy G430's(mostly for the obnoxiously uncomfortable headband that I had headaches from) and I stopped at the Cloud II's. I also watched your review on SteelSeries Arctis 5, but I'm not sure, if they're comfortable and their connections are very weird. Would you recommend these over Arctis 5's?
Mighty_Crusier definitely go with the HyperX
Tip: The specs on all three are the same. The difference is the accessories that come with them.
+Christian Rosario thanks. I'm pretty sure I said all 3 headsets are the exact same, and that the only difference were the accessories
Thanks for making this video!
Dennis no problem, thanks for checking it out
Thank you so much this really made me decide.Very enjoyale to watch.
thanks so much, I really appreciate that. Which ones did you decide on?
Cloud 2. There should be here by friday.The only "downside" is that they didint have red and black so i had to go with Gun Metal , but i dont really care :DDD
the Gunmetal looks good in person so you won't be disappointed. let me know what you think when you get to try them out
Sure will do! :^)
I just got them and you were right gun metal is preety nice too. I will be doing some testing now cya :))
The one thing that you don't mention is the mic quality? Do people on the other end feel like you're talking through a tin can? Does it match telephone quality? Does it match stereo quality? Other?
Hey, which one of the clouds should I choose for PS4? I'm really big on good sound separation as I mainly play Rainbow Six Siege, mic quality isn't as important but it still needs to be clear. Thanks for your opinions!
+coolspeedman 1 the Cloud Core would serve that need
Bass so punchy ? I know the treble is a bit high but the bass is way low for my taste . do not get me wrong , a good headset and very comfortable but with lack of official equalizer and the near absent of bass (for me ) just make my gaming session a bit off .
informative video man. thanks
no problem and thank you for the compliment
I had my Cloud 1 for almost 3 years and the only reason it broke is because of the wire near the left ear. Wish this was detachable wiring.
Senpai Solo I don't understand why they don't make them detachable....other than that, they are built like a tank
So I'm planning on just getting the core since I have the accessories from my old cloud 1. Do you know if they're compatible?
Senpai Solo yes, you can do that with no issues at all
If you are debating Stinger/Core just get the Core
Bro how is the sound difference between hyperx cloud 2 and cloud corem
Anyone else here with a bad version?
With that I mean: NO BASS (near to 0)
Broken directionality (seems like all voices are coming from inside me)
Highs are piercing.
Anyone else like this? Because it's pretty sad.
Which one of the headsets are you having these issues with, a cloud ll or cloud core?
Thanks a lot for this video
If they make another one of these headsets, they need to improve just 2 things, the mic and add a wireless function. Then these would be hands down the best out their for price (already are, but even better)
+The-Guy-With-MOJO completely agree. A wireless HyperX Cloud would be amazing
A year later and im still using them and they still work perfectly, not sure how I got back to this video
I just keep staring at the minions in the background...
+Lauren Rydh haha, those damn things are distracting
HyperX Stinger vs HyperX Core, which is better?
i would go with the Core just slightly with the edge over the Stinger because of it's build. both sound amazing and are great headphones
Hyperx Stinger vs Cloud core
Tell which one
So when I already have hyperx usb card then I dont need to pay more to hyperx cloud 2s and go to the cloud cores ? Cloud cores have same surround sound like the cloud 2s with the card ?
Thanks, very helpful video :)
+QUADREX no problem, I felt this one needed to be made because no one had ever talked about the differences.....or lack there of
should i get the core or stinger (i play ps4)
You should have shown us the mic test.
if you're looking for a budget Gaming headset with great Sound Quality and very comportable very nice packaging, u should definitely get this the mic is decent i would rate it 7.9 or 8 ouf ot 10.. the only downsinde is 7.1 surround sound bcoz sounds not good to me well i guess even the higher gaming headset like razer , logitech , corsair ,steelseries is sucks in terms of 7.1 virtual surround sound.. this is a good deal u will love this headset if u are in budget it cost $80 to $85 at this moment here in the Philippines..
