"Hyper X Cloud II is one of the goats for value. ... There's a reason it's still in production and you can still buy them brand spankin new."
"Won't break the bank either."
"They are pretty cheap on the regular and can sometimes find them for $50."

"The pinpoint accuracy is insane. ... This was more noticeable on Valorant as it is a more sound dependent game. You won't miss anything with these. I started to watch out at angles I wouldn't watch with the others because some audio cue made me suspect a door and ... it was 100% right all the time. I could tell where they were with excellent accuracy, both horizontal and vertical."
"they're also extremely crystal clear probably because of the 53mm drivers. ... I could feel everything, even just reloading a gun, I could hear all those metal parts moving. This was not even noticeable in any of the other headsets."
"I’ve been using the HyperX Cloud II wired headset for a while now and have been really happy with the sound quality, especially for FPS games like Warzone. ... I mainly care about clear footsteps and directional audio for competitive FPS games."

"everything I've tried so far is too "inside your head" to be convincing in immersive games. ... The soundstage of most headphones is too narrow"
"They sound like very high but trashy at the same time. ... I made the upgrade to ps5 and they are a mess. ... On Apex Legends I can't play like normally because of this. It's like a chaotic sound coming from everywhere. :("
Yea I have the cloud 2 Kingston. I’ve tried the seinheisser hd560s and the steel series Arctis nova pro. Both of which are double the price but imo sound worse than the cloud 2. I am on console pubg.
r/PUBG • best headset for playing the game ->Been using the hyperx cloud 2 for a few years now and I LOVE it. I have pretty large size gauges in my ears and these give enough clearance to not be uncomfortable. And they're on sale for 60 bucks!

r/buildapc • What's a good headphone + mic gaming that's under $100? ->Im still rocking mine with just a new pair of earpads from central sound.co and the original hyper Cloud 2 USB card, sounds amazing, even after try hyper x Cloud 3 S Wireless and Logitech g pro X wired But they are old, and i dont think they are worth tbh, some DT 770 could be better
r/HyperX • im looking into buying the HyperX Cloud Revolver 7.1 for my son are they over ear headphones and are they worth the price? ->Alpha came out after Cloud II iirc. I don't know if there's any meaningful improvements over Cloud II however. As of the latter; I've owned a Cloud II and it was built like a goddamn tank. Sound quality is decent and I've spent countless hours in tactical FPS titles with that bad boy. I'd highly recommend it.
r/HyperX • Which ones are really worth it? ->for me its HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset i still have it after 3y and its still better then any other take a look [https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/\_c3YaWPnH](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3YaWPnH)
r/gamers • What brand of gaming headset is the best? ->I understand. When I switched from Cloud IIs to X2HRs, it sounded there was absolutely no bass because I was so used to the Cloud II’s warmer tuning. I liked the Cloud IIs significantly more until I got used to the new tuning. Simply reducing the loudness of higher frequencies can make things seem muffled, and reducing the loudness of lower frequencies can make things seem tinny. It’s all in comparison with what you’re used to. I don’t know if the difference you experienced is due to the “brain burn in time” or weird audio processing (sometimes the headphones come with “7.1 surround sound” emulation which ruins the audio balance), so that’s why I recommended that you drive them a little longer. Generally it’s recommended to turn all audio enhancements off (spatial audio, 7.1, windows sonic etc) if you want the best tracking, unless it’s built for the game (like Cryspatial is). You honestly don’t have much choice at your budget if you want a significant “upgrade” in tracking quality compared to the Krakens. The Cloud IIs are generally known as having decent sound quality but I’m not sure what changes they made with the IIIs.
r/HuntShowdown • What are some good headphones for hunt? (with a microphone) ->that explains my audio issues, sadly support never told me this and now i am outside the window to return them.
r/HyperX • HyperX Cloud II is overrated. ->If it helps your purchase, I bought the HyperX Cloud II in 2016, a year after it came out. I’ve used it nearly every day since - it’s flawless honestly. If you can get a Kingston version, definitely grab it. I cannot stress how well and sturdy they’ve held up for nearly a decade.
r/HyperX • Which ones are really worth it? ->Every headset I’ve ever owned has broken down on me except for my HyperX Cloud II’s. I handed them down to my girlfriend and they’re still going strong several years later. They probably don’t sell them anymore, but I’m sure there’s an updated version by now.
r/buildapc • Best Wireless Gaming Headset Worth Buying Today ->hyperx cloud ii, right now i have one of the corsair hs headphones. dont remember which but id say hearing is good
r/SiegeAcademy • Headset vs iem? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
