I’d give these 5 stars if the bass was a little better.
All other aspects are great. They are very comfortable, they have good overall sound at moderate levels, and the mic is clear.
However, the bass gets distorted when you amp up the volume.

Primarily bought for work from home. Great headset, very comfortable and great sound quality. Can’t speak really on the gaming/7:1 sound. For me, I like that the cord seems to be of higher quality, good controls on the wire to mute/volume control. The sound, mic quality is great and I can’t hear a lot of outside noise while wearing. I have a dog, kids, etc and coworkers say they can’t hear the background noise too much. I bought ones off Amazon for half the price that lasted less than a couple months, Highly recommend just getting these instead of a cheap Amazon version.

This is one of the most cost effective headsets for high quality that you can buy. Amazing sound quality and very robust construction. Not really heavy at all. They are a little too snug for my taste, but I do have a big head. Awesome!

This is a great value of a headset, but for me it is a little tight fitting (as in the clamping action on the head is too much). The sound quality is amazing with the 7.1 activated and the ability to remove the mic is a definite plus.

Headset is really one of one. Worth every bit of money. Padding is really comfortable and fitting not to hard on head. Clear loudness and sounds proof perfectly. Almost so sound proof that I almost didn’t hear the burglar break in my house at 2am while streaming warzone on twitch. Id say they do a nifty job. And good quality headset!

Audio and mic is great. The headphones really make the 7.1 and are really comfortable for long playing.
The only downside is that the cable was not as long as expected and that for the PS4 u have to activate the 7.1 as soon as the cable is connected, if not you will not be able to activate it.

HyperX Cloud II Wired Gaming Headset

An excellent headset. Sadly, it had the same issue I have with all wired headsets and the wiring at the connection to the headset eventually shorts out and fails due to a focused flex point at that spot. Always but the extended protection for wired headsets. Was light and comfortable enough to wear for 12 to 16 hours without an issue. Great sound and the mic was great. No complaints other than the normal wired connection point issue. But that happens with every wired headset I get within a year so I can't hold that against this headset either. Excellent choice for the price point.

I bought this for my grandson, and I must say, the headset is pretty awesome. The sound quality is great and is quite loud even when it is on a low setting. The noise cancellation is great as well. I would know because when he has them on and I try to call him, he is oblivious to what is going on. Or is that a con? Anywho, the mic is detachable, so you can use them as standard headphones and it comes with extra ear cushions which are easily interchangeable. All in all, these are some mighty fine heaphones! The only con I can think of is the fact that the wire gets very tangled/intertwined and is a pain to look at and deal with. Other than that, golden!

The good: these feel sturdy and well built. The metal band inspires more confidence than the plastic competition. They are comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the microphone is well designed. The USB sound card works well and the cable is long. The replacement ear cups are a nice touch.
The meh: the sound quality is ok. The bass is boomy, but the mids and high sound muddled. This is fine for gaming, but I wouldn't use them for music. The cable braiding feels nice, but you'll need to un-twist it pretty often.
The bad: the 7.1 virtual surround is a gimmick, it doesn't provide positioning. It sounds like it just adds some echo, but I was unable to locate sounds the way I can with front/rear speakers. If you play a lot of FPS/FPP games, these headphones won't give you proper positioning information.
Bottom line: if you're looking for good surround positioning, don't buy these, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a well built, comfortable pair of gaming headphone with a good microphone, do get them: they are great.

The headset is a bit bulky, but the over-the-ear design helps muffle outside noise. I had the headset on with no sound, but I couldn't hear my phone ringing. I was impressed that it muffled outside noise without any source connected to it.
The microphone can be disconnected if you are only using it as headphones. The headset connects to the PS4, but not the way the salesman told me it connected. He told me I could connect it via the USB cable. However, after researching it, you may not get the full audio experience using the USB cable with your PS4. The preferred connection is through the audio jack on the controller. The USB cable is for connecting to your PC.
I've made phone calls, played music, and played games through this headset. I highly recommend this headset.

I decided to order this when it was on sale for my friend as a Christmas gift and it is AMAZING! Would recommend to anyone thinking about getting it. The microphone is really nice and sounds super clear and the headset is super comfortable and has great sound too. Such an upgrade for my friend

After my last headset (Razor Carcharias) failed due to audio cutout, I researched extensively before settling on these, and I'm glad I did. They have excellent sound quality, flexibility, and features.
I do have one a couple criticisms and concerns, however. The criticism may just be a matter of my sound settings, but I've had a couple of occasions where switching between the headphones and their USB plugin to the speakers and/or the regular audio jack did not complete, leaving me without sound, or sound only in the way that I did not want, and time wasted fiddling with settings or plug swapping to get it going again. I also would have preferred that the regular cable attached to the headset was 2 meters and the USB end was a meter, but I understand the difficulties that might have created with the sound controls. Last, I'm concerned that the attachment of the wire to the headphones is permanent rather than another plug. In my experience, that's where headphones eventually fail no matter the quality of construction. Eventually can be a long time though, so we'll see how long these last.

I don't know what to say that hasn't been said in most any youtube review for the headset; but for the money you'd be hard pressed to find a better headset. I will say, for those of us with larger heads it's a little tight, with the bottom of the earcups pushing up on my earlobes, but they're soft enough that I don't really notice after a while. I haven't tried the cloth earcups yet, but the leather ones are great.
There's a firmware update on the hyperx website that adds in PS4 support for the USB controller, although you can use them directly on the ps4 through the gamepad also.
They sound great, they feel great, willing to bet i'm not going to need the warranty I purchased, as they're very solid. A great buy, hands down.

The sound quality of this headset is the best of the headsets I have owned. The downfall with the mic is that it is very, very quiet. I had to install a separate third party software after updating the firmware to be able to adjust the mic volume and even be heard by others. I found out that other people have had the same issue and was able to find the resolution on YouTube.
The set is comfortable for me and I like the way it looks!
If the issues with the mic were not present, I would have given this a five star review with excellent ratings across the board, but mics are important.

I've had mine a little over a year now and I'm absolutely in love with it. I've had very little issues and the cable is so easy to manage. The microphone is okay. When I say okay, I mean for the price your paying and compared to other cheaper ones out there. It's better, but It's not top end, but managable and okay.
The two main points I see to spending this much on a pair of headphones. For one the sound is amazing! So, clear and crisp and two you can wear this thing forever without being bothered by it and it even comes with 2 different types of ear-pads. A leather one and a cloth / vinyl like one. The usb cable is an extension so you don't have to deal with a really annoying long cable all the time.

The Hyper X Cloud 2 sounds amazing and it is compatible with all the consoles: PS4, Xbox One and PC on the box. I have an Xbox and for the volume I have to go to settings and adjust it every time I tried to play a game online. That’s my only complaint.

I am very cautious when buying peripherals for my gaming set up. So you could understand when I was reluctant when I was looking into HyperX because it's a newer company, and the much lower price tag. However, upon using it I can genuinely say I am mistaken. The quality is by far superior to any headset I've ever owned, discord friends have said I have never sounded clearer, it's incredibly comfortable on the ears. The panel for volume adjustment/mute on the on the wire works great, however I'm not sure if I'll ever use it. It's nice to know it's there. I can't say many negative things about this at all, 9.5/10 worth every penny.

Great head set for the value. I have spent money on wireless systems and have been greatly disappointed.
Pros: Can be used with multiple systems, 5.1, easy on the ears, boom mic is detachable, great sound, no battery issues due to being corded.. long cord included
Cons: not wireless, boom could be misplaced when detached
