I made the Hyper X Cloud II purchase earlier this week after watching two TH-cam videos (including this one) and read reviews, and it couldn’t have been a better or more satisfying purchase. So, it’s still good in 2022. Note that I have and use it for a HP Omen gaming laptop and upgraded from the HP Omen headset that was failing me lately with static noise on the side of listeners on discord. This headset sounds great to listen from and talk through for both Discord and Zoom. Reserve the 7.1 Surround Sound for watching videos only, and turn off for gaming. I’ve never heard sound… sound so good from my laptop. This was definitely an upgrade. One more note, I use glasses and is comfortable. Thanks!
wait so the surround sound isnt good for gaming? Do you game, and if so can you hear footsteps?
is your usb dongle hyperx logo glowing red ?
@@XYZ-ql1fi virtual 7.1 surround ist not good for gaming! Use stereo instead.
Its no real surround, just stereo plus some technik that fiddles arround with the sound to make it sound like surround, but does more bad than good.
7.1 surround (not real, its just virtual) just sounds nice for advertisement but is bad for gaming.
Hey hey, how is this headset doing ATM? Thinking about buying them and need an answer within 2 days xD
straight and to the point! great review and i love that there is not a hour long intro
This is an excellent headset from sound to durability. I've dropped it many times and it seems like I didn't drop it at all. The microphone is really good for a headset. I use the fabric cuffs. I don't use the 7.1 surround sound as it sounds interesting, but artificial to me.
didnt like the 7.1 but i do agree it is so durable( i accidentally tripped and my headset got bashed on the door and it still good as it when it was new 😂)
Hello there, can u rate it's sound quality ? I have the Cloud stinger at the moment and I'm thinking of purchasing this Cloud II, now the Cloud stinger for me is perfect, I can sound really good in games and stuff, but still I feel like the volume is a bit low, like when someone talks in the same room I can still hear him but very softly, I want a headset that isolates sound, is this Cloud II worth the buy ? please help a friend with your opinion, thank you and have a good day!
I agree, the 7.1 is more for a movie if you want to feel like you are kinda inside of the theater
OK so I have these headphones for over 3 years and it has never let me down. I use it for everything, playstation gaming, music on my computer, movies, using it for work(meetings, calls). I rolled over it with an office chair, dropped it, stepped on it, sat on it, poured liquids over it, yanked the cable out of devices, travelled with it. I'm using it everyday, it still works perfectly. All I can say is its probably the best piece of technology I've ever owned, absolutely recommended.
Is it comfortble for glasses wearer?
@@chinchilla8700 yes have it and can 100% say it’s comfortable with glasses
@@chinchilla8700 super comfortable i wear mine hours at a time with glasses and never any problems
@@phantompizza can you hear footsteps in games, because people been dissing on the virtual surround sound
@@XYZ-ql1fi people diss on the 7.1 virtual surround sound which can be toggled, and not the actual sound of the headphones themselves. u can hear everything fine and they work for music well enough too considering they're "gaming" headsets
you should always, without question, do a mic test on these videos.
i think he did
@@david-rc3jp its a 4 min video dude. you "think"?. he didnt do one on camera.
@@JaddyOG ITS BEN 6 MONTHS MAN, at the end i bought the logitech g pro x, for me is much better
He did it in the last minute. That's the audio from the mic of the HyperX Cloud II.
I've been using this headset for over four years now, and it still works great. Leather ear cups however wore off around two years ago due to use over time, in which I use the velour ear cups now. They're okay, but they can get uncomfortable over prolonged headset wear. Sound quality is as incredible as ever from when I first used it, which is amazing. It was a hottie getting this for $99 back in 2016, but now with new releases and tech improvements with gaming headsets, I'd say look onto the newer ones when considering buying at retail price. Like the HyperX Cloud Alpha or the Steelseries Arctis series. But generally over the last four years I've been using this headset, it is indeed an incredible one. Just watch out over the leather components of the Cloud 2's, as they can wear off over a year or two with frequent use under insufficient care and cleaning.
I dont know what to buy. Hyperx cloud 2 or Hyperx cloud alpha. Alot of people say the alphas are uncomfortable idk what to get. But they also say (some of them) with the upgraded pads they made its better. I just dont know what to get.
Yes i have the exact same headset, when the original cups wear out im gonna buy the exact ones again because they have treated me well. Never had a problem with the cups.
Wait, so is the hyperx cloud alpha better in all aspects? Cause I'm gonna buy used ones and cloud 2 and alpha both are like 30$
I use the fabric cups, and they're very comfortable to me.
Can we connect this on mobile(iphone)?
The controls will work on the ps4 if you upgrade its firmware from 0030 to 0010. Also it will fix the low volume problem.
Where do u update it?

Really? I never even knew the headphones had firmware... let alone be upgraded!! And I've had these headphones since 2016. Thanks!

Nice brother :D
Lets swap brothers
it doesnt only work for pc it also works on ps4 if you plug in the control box into a port on your playstation

Hyper X cloud 2’s regularly go on sale for 60-70 dollars. These are the only headphones ive ever owned. 2 pairs in ten years and I treat them like absolute garbage
Honestly I have both the Sony Pulse 3D (PS5) headset and the Hyper X Cloud 2. I prefer the Hyper X. It's more comfortable after hours of gameplay, and my friends have told me it's mic sounds better
lol i use audio technicas
is the noice cancellation good on alpha 2?
Yea picked up the pulse 3d but im going to return it for these
Does the Hyper X Cloud 2 Wired work on the PS5?

*the 7.1 is for watching movies to bring out the background noise more and increase soundstage to make it sound like you are in the movie, but for game always turn that off because it will fk with your positioning*

and how do you turn that on and off?

@@faraziness8341 Yeah just enable 7.1 audio and you will hear everything
@@mysticftn U cant use 7.1 on PS4 only on pc
First, I don't believe you mentioned that the 7.1 surround only works on pc and I believe PS. If you are an xbox user you don't get that 7.1 surround sound. Microsoft has their own surround sound program built into xbox. Question though, am I right in saying if you are using it on xbox you don't have a volume control on the cord or headset itself? The one shown only works if you plug it into a USB and that won't work on xbox. You would need to buy the Xbox controller attachment that controls volume and mute. Right?
I have sony xm3 use for gaming. Im planning to buy this hyperx cloud 2. Is there any difference? Can someone help me? 😀
7.1 works great with my ps4. Just plug it into the control port. Big difference you can really hear.
So I can connect it to my PS4? Cuz I heard in the vid pc only?
@@tino2321 you can you just have to update the headset first, then it’ll allow you to use 7.1 on ps4
@@dan61909 how would you update it?
@@dan61909 yeah how to update the software?
Have these stayed the same since the initial release back in 2015? Or are there new iterations each year but they keep the name?
yeah im so confused, Randomfrankp also released a video, which it had some different features... like dongle
@@stevethea5250 that could have been another model, such as the cloud alpha
@@liamjamesevans it was WIRELESS version apparently
Bro I’ve bought like 3 of these lol they changed the mic piece material from like this weird rubber stuff to metal, also the cord is a lot sturdier
Got the 2022 version: a few minor aesthetics changes , the writing on the head band , hyperx logo is no longer illuminated , no splitter and no mic slot cover , no transport bag , they seem lighter when compared with the 2015 version.
Is it compatible with Xbox one ?
I've spiked mine about twice now and it hasn't shattered yet.
Lmao a controller is meant for spiking
I got the first cloud and it’s amazing, I’ve had it for 2 years now and it’s still working great. I do have problems talking to my team in games but I’m pretty sure that’s the games issue because one day it will work and the next it won’t.
I love how the wire that connects into the headset can be unplugged. Have had countless times where I step on the cord and it rips out of the headset and then it’s broken, same as the mic part where it can plug in and be plugged out. Its extremely comfy and sounds great, and I’ve had people tell me my mic is always louder than everyone. Like in rust where your team is yelling and no one can hear each other I can talk and be louder than anyone. There’s only mute, and an volume up and down volume which is small but it’s no big deal. I’ve dropped it countless times and nothing has broke, I love the material it’s made of. Just a great headset
hey, i’ve had mine since christmas, but they haven’t been producing sound since april, do you know what the problem is?
I'm considering buying these for my PS4. I'm looking for high sound quality and comfort, is it worth it?
Yes
@@MLDEDXX how good is the sound?
@@EliFarb surround sound is rlly good imo, quality is really good too
@@EliFarb its surreal almost
@@MLDEDXX does surround sound actually work on PS4? I've seen lots of reviews saying it didn't work for them
great headsets , lasted nearly 7 years lol :) got the new 2022 version hope they last me even longer :P To bad you get less since for 2022 there are a few minor aesthetics changes , the writing on the head band , hyperx logo is no longer illuminated , no splitter and no mic slot cover , no transport bag , they seem lighter when compared with the 2015 version.
Have they been good for you?
sup?
@@sakari842 the new headset is working great , sound quality is the same as the 2015 model
Hey I bought these and they are not loud as the wired version they are like really quiet... I’m using my pc... any idea what’s wrong or is this just how it is? Kinda upset
Omfggg Idk if I should get the hyper cloud 2 or the 3d pulse for my ps5 they are the same price in my country in suggestions plss
Bro I was looking for headphones cause I play CS:GO, you already sold me 1:18
One major thing that you did not talk about is if you are trying to use it on PS4, you have to be wired to the PlayStation, not just your controller, for you to be able to talk. Btw the cord is like 4 feet long so you have to be less than 4 feet from your PlayStation at all times while using this headset… no thanks
what??? wtf why?
Did it come with a cap/cover for the detachable mic plug? I bought one a couple years back and it came with one. Time skip to now, its broken and I bought a new one but this time it did not come with a cap for the plug.
Mine didn't, just leave it plugged into microphone port on your pc i guess?
what do i do It dosent let me volume up or down on the Hyperx Cable extensioner or whatever it is
You can get them for 50 dollars on Amazon rn
Can I get a link?
I got them at walmart for 80$. I Should have checked amazon.
@@nataliechan3879 you have 30 days to return it. I returned my turtle beaches today. Just say you weren’t satisfied
Just got them from Walmart for $30
@Ladioz $125 in singapore sigh...
Is this better than Logitech G pro X or Razer black shark v3 or even the epos
U cannot hear anything when I try to use the cord on Xbox one
you fix it?
i always used the 3.5mm jack for the xbox, worked great. 7.1 in a headset is overrated in gaming imo
I think i already had 4 pairs, and 4th is already broken after 10 months of using. The sound quality is great for me BUT quality of materials is not. Ear cups will peel after some time, probably just after warranty is over. Same with soundcard, it can die, last of them my right ear just died. when I bought my first Hyperx Could II i got a nice package with barely any plastic in it, with big carton box, everything felt premium. The last i bought had plastic, you could barely fit them into the box. I wish i could find similiar sound quality headset for that money with better materials, so they would not break in 2 years, but right now i cannot find anything...
was your headsets hyperx logo glowing red on the usb dongle ?
Which one would better, the Razer kraken tournament edition that you reviewed, or this?
Razer Kraken sucks for sound quality. HyperX is the ultimate headset
Is this in-line mute and volume controller also working with mac computers? And how is it fo listening music? Can it be loud? (I don't like music to be really soft and far-away sounding..)
i have a question now... I'm having difficulties making a choice:
Would be better to get *HyperX Cloud II* or *Arctis 3 (2019 Edition)* ?
You probably already made the choice but the Cloud 2 still has superior sound. It's consistently ranked higher and way cheaper. I just got one for 50 bucks.
@@MasDouc how do u like them? I’m considering picking it up
@@MasDouc whick should I pick the pulse 3d's or this I'm very indecisive as far as I know ppl say that the pulse 3d has amazing sound quality but not so comfy and the mic is pretty bad
idk if its just me but coming from astro a40s with a mixamp. it just seems like the sounds from this headset are more amplified than the a40s making things really loud and exaggerated. ( no i dont have the surround sound setting turned on)
When you did the verdict was it the headphones you were talking through?
Hi one question does this headset make a sound when you mute it ? Many mics will make a noise other people can hear when you mute
Had mine less than a year, the audio has started crackling. Seems like the 7.1 surround sound card has gone toast.
Will the microphone on this headset work if i'm using the 3.5 mm cable instead of the usb?
We may never know.
Hi I bought the Hyper X Alpha and I could not get the software with the equalizer to download, for some reason this download had to come though Microsoft and I don;t have a Microsoft account. Do you know how I can get the software?
Anyone having troubles with the sound (one side temporarily not working)? I have these headphones for over a year and the sound of one side keeps falling away. Any solutions?
Where did you get them from? Did you order it from a reseller on Amazon?
R side stopped working. Opened and looks good might be the speaker all cables are connected I don't know what to do.
Di u get it fix??
@@videorol93 I got it yes. It was a weird fix but every time I hear something from one side only, I change the volume on the cable connected to my headphone and then the sound is back on both sides.
I seriously need help my audio keep switching from my headset to speaker why?
Cant I connect to a mic that has a headset plug in thing?
I think so
This is to much power for one man
Wait so does the 7.1 surround sound work on console or pc only?
How do you adjust the sound and mic on controller if you dont have access to the usb box?
If you play on controller don’t buy these because they are poorly optimised. They seem to be fine for PC though.
those are BEST =]
Can I use this headphone in my mobile for gaming?
How are these for streaming?
Are the leather or soft ear muff better
Can I turn off the microphone with the box that it brings to control the sound?
Yes the inline control has it all. Volume for both mic and speaker. Also mic mute

Does the mic work for switch?
How is the mic quality and does it get worse after using it for a long time?
@@cryptorrr Is there a way to test it without NSO?
@@chaseprice286 mic quality is best
I still use the Cloud I , had Cloud II , best headsets for the bucks . The only problem with them in almost 10 years is that the jack port work just in 2 pins and the microphone has problems ; Unfortunately you can't find the Cloud II sound 7.1 and a new mic just the fake leather.
I have no hearing issues and see no complaints with volume problems even when its plugged in the controller. Check your internet connection. If you have higher internet speed maybe it'll help your ps4 Bluetooth signal. Then again I use a 2018 ps4 slim.
I already have one the problem is in pubg when i fire i feel like ill loose my hearing
Can u help
lower your volume lmao
taede meijer 😂
Lower your volume
Turn off surround sound since that might make it worse

Just bought mine
@@xXlegitmonsterXx ive just got mine, i like it :D
Hahah same
How is this compared to the Xbox wireless headset ?
How durable is it?
I don't recommend dropping it of course, but I've dropped it many times and it seems like I didn't drop it at all. It feels like a solid piece of hardware in your hands.
Does anyone know if these will work on the Xbox Series S without the extra adapter?
Hopefully this is alright for calls. I'll be using it for work with ring central and skype. A little gaming on the weekends as well.
How have you found the mic quality for calls?
I wish these had a volume button on the headset to use on the ps5. Otherwise these headphones are so good
How do they sound on PS5
I picked up today on sale they were 50 on sale from 100
I just bought mine. It’s sooo loud and I leave my sound at 79/100. I’m on pc, what do you set yours at?
Mine arrived today but I haven’t tried it yet, thinking of trying it later on the day.
There’s a reason why theres a volume controller on your pc
Lol what, I put my sound at 24/100
50/100
wtf, whenever I go above 20% I feel like my eardrums are going to explode
Can you hear foot setps around you with the surround sound on pic
The newer HyperX Cloud II in my opinion has changed. It appears after HP acquired the company - they cut down the costs in areas they shouldn't have. This stellar review does not apply to the new HyperX anymore in my opinion.
I’m thinking about buying this lmk if it’s good
Does this have built in mic monitoring?
Not sure if this is just me but I just got this headset as a gift for my bday and I can’t seem how to get my mic to work (im on PS4 btw)
Does it works normal laptops and gaming laptops??🤔🤔🤔
Didn't work directly with PS4 controller. No muting on cable no valium control. Works great on PC.
Not really for PS4.
i bought for my pc but the mic isnt picking up my voice
maybe because everything around you is too loud?
DO NOT buy if you’re going to use this headset for a console. It’s 7.1 surround sound only works on PC, you’re wasting $100 for a headset that’ll work as a $20 headset on console.
Just gotta Update the Headset Firmware pepega
I plan on connecting it to my Xbox controller (on pc)
Do you recommend?
nice vid!
Cloud 2 or cloud alpha for warzone ?
Planning on get this one for Xbox Series X. Now that we have Dolby Sound, is there a way for me to use with this headset? I was reading and i think it only works via USB or optical. How can i make this headset work with that?

He said cloud 2
still thinking wether i should get cloud 2 wired or arctis 1 wireless hmmm
Idk the arctis 1 lool nice but I have the clod 2's and oh man I love them. The construction is very very sturdy saw a lot of people saying that they dropped/threw them like 20 times and they are completly fine and I can confirm they are built like tanks whereas the arctis 1's look kind of flimsy. The 7.1 soround sound is definitly worth it it's awesome in games and you can really feel the difference when you turn it on. Overall I really love everything about them and if I could go back in time I would make the same choice 100% no regrets everyone says it's the best headset for the price and I whole heartedly agree, hope this helps.
Btw wired always beats wireless by a lot and the cloud 2's sound great. The mic is good too .
@@2Based23 thnks bro, i heard arctis 1 mic is not that great, i would consider to buy cloud 2 now since even pro player use wired
