HyperX Cloud II Wireless

THERE IS NO DENYING that HyperX’s Cloud headsets are super comfortable, there's even a clue in the name. Although visually, this isn’t the most advanced design, there is no faulting HyperX's formula here— take an already great gaming headset and add wireless functionality to the mix. So, does this headset live up to the latest expectations, and should you join sides with this formidable peripheral?

Starting with the design, HyperX has stuck with that old saying; 'if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it'. The mainly aluminum structure provides a durable build quality, while still having a flexible padded headband. As far as the cups go, if you have ever used HyperX headsets before, you’ll already know, but these cans are soft and comfortable. A thick memory foam coats your ears and while back in 2015, the original Cloud IIs were one of the most comfortable gaming headsets on the market, we can still say the same today. They aren’t the lightest headphones we've tested, but they are fine for a long session, with no noticeable pressure on your ears or head.
