Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let's start with the caveat that I'm neither a gamer nor an audiophile. For a while, I've been searching for a reasonably priced headset with good noise cancelling/noise blocking and also a microphone. I hadn't planned to use the microphone often, but I still wanted the option. This headset, with a removable microphone, is perfect for me. For me, the sound quality leaves nothing to be desired, and this headset does a great job of blocking out background noise. This is crucial, since I mostly plan to wear it on the subway so that I can watch movies for language practice (Mandarin Chinese) during my daily subway commute. As other reviewers have mentioned, these are super comfortable--I slept with them on during my last flight. Finally, I bought these through bestbuy.com because lately fakes on Amazon are positively RAMPANT. I'm only about 10 days in, but so far I'm totally satisfied with this purchase.

So I had 2 separate headsets for my pc and my Xbox, and decided it was time to just cut it down to one headset for both platforms instead of having one for each. Super light, durable, and a great finish. In game audio is superior to my previous headsets (Astro A10, Logitech G340).

I've sampled head sets from $40-$399 and these headphones are by far the best overall headphones for me. I don't entirely care too much for wireless headphones because the requirement to remember to charge them and the inevitable perfect timing for them to go dead in the middle of a movie or game. These are not wireless! Secondly, they are plug and play with almost EVERY device that exists: PS4, XBOX, PS3, Computers, Cellphones and the list goes on. The microphone DETACHES for those who do not want these for the microphone. In the box there are TWO sets of earphone covers to fit your personal preference; one leather-type and one more of a cloth-type. For me, I like the leather type and think my ears stay cooler longer with them on. I could go on but I only wanted to give a short review, feel free to direct any additional questions my way. This is my second set of these the first ones lasted about 2 years before the wiring deteriorated, resulting in little to no sound from one ear phone and no microphone capability.

These are supreme! They feel like music headphones. Other brands just don’t get it for some reason. Sure Astro has better sound but they feel like a brick of metal on your head. Turtle beach brand is just for kids that don’t mind the discomfort and horrible quality. These have good sounds and an awesome mic that no one ever complains about. No echo mic ever. I have a $200 pair of Astro I keep for back and never use because these are far superior in comfort. They last very long as well.

Super comfortable headset. Sound quality is great and the mic is clear. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is sometimes when i switched the mic to mute then off mute it didn’t fully release the mute. Other then that i love the headset. I got these on sale so the value was great at the time too.

For the money, these are excellent headphones. Good imaging in games that support it, clear sound through the microphone, and trouble-free installation. Just plug the USB connector into your computer, plug the 3.5mm jack into the other end and go. The individual volume knobs for audio and microphone are nice. There is a button to enable 7.1 audio for games that use it. I mainly play Fortnite and the directional audio works extremely well. The headset is comfortable on my giant noggin. The microphone is on a flexible boom and has pretty much infinite adjustment. There are better headsets out there, but for the money, this one is hard to beat.

These are hands down the best gaming headsets for pc fps gaming. ONLY when used with the usb piece which amplifies the sound and mic does it performs at its best and can get very loud. You can also use it with the auxiliary like regular headphones (for Xbox and PlayStation players) but you will not be able to get the most out of them without some form of amplifier or dac. VERY durable, my previous one I owned for over 4 years, gave them away still works perfectly. I went to try other headphones for gaming and they just don't quite hold up to these. If you're looking for music quality and stuff this is not the product for it (I own $500 ear buds audiophile grade) Best headphones for gaming hands down (also most used headphones for pro fps gaming if that helps your decision at all) No software installation needed to get these going, works out of the box.

Achieving balanced video game audio can be quite a challenge in 2018. Television speakers often produce garbled bass hits that overpowers dialogue and important cues. While stereo systems require careful tuning for the desired effect. It takes time, it takes patience, and then you still need to set up voice chat. The Cloud II Pro solve all of these problems. Lag? Not a chance, as these are wired. Which also means you wont need to change them. And the sound quality is absolutely superb, providing clarity, bass, aural direction and texture which makes all the difference in online play. Best of all, they feature an include though optional USB soundcard. I've used this on a few media players that did not include a headphone. It's a wonderful bonus that you simply wont find in other set ups. The Cloud II Pro is snug, light, soft, and firsts both big heads and small. If you don't enjoy these, you don't like headphones. For everyone else, these are a must buy.

This headset is the most expensive headset I've gotten. I use it for my call center job and for my PS4, it works great for both. I love how clear the mic sounds and the noise cancelling is great too. I was honestly blown away by the clarify of my voice when testing on PS4. You could probably do ASMR with this. I have to wear it for 8 hours a day and it doesn't make my ears/head hot, it's easy to wear for extended periods of time. The tentacle adjustable mic arm is great when you want to eat a snack and don't want the mic in the way. I would recommend these to anyone.

So I bought this after learning a lot about it from Google. From what I learned, this Kingston headset was very great for sound, considering it has 7.1 surround sound with the headset. Well, after purchasing, I realized that they were right. the 7.1 surround sound card was amazing. music and movies and gaming all sound great. however, I was a little upset to find that the card was part of the usb cord, and therefore not able to be used on my phone. Also, the headset is removable, but not that bendable. you can't bend it backwards, away from your face. Also, the sound card part of the usb cord, doesn't feel very sturdy. it feels like cheap plastic and the headset itself doesn't have any button control. it's all part of the card on the cord, meaning you can't control anything unless it's plugged into a computer. on an xbox or ps4 or phone, it's just a headset with a mic. all that being said, the sound quality is great, even if it's just plugged into a phone. they're great headphones and the mic can be easily heard by others. when being used on a computer, it's really nice to be able to control the voice volume coming in as well as the computer sound, right from the card. the headset is also very, VERY comfortable and even came with a second set of ear pads(idk what they're called. the cushions for your ears on the headset) of a different material so you can pick your favorite. rating 4/5 due to not being too fancy while still being over 100$

Best gaming headphones i have ever owned. Durable, good sound quality, what else do tou want. Also affordable, never go wrong with HyperX

I debated amongst the Hyper X headsets for a while before I decided on the Cloud II. Glad I chose it. Comfort - The moment I put this headset over my ears, it was very comfortable. There is not much pressure applied by the band and the cushions are very soft and comfortable. Versatility - This headset can be used on Xbox, Playstation, cell phones (sorry Apple, requires the 3.5mm headphone jack), and USB on your computers. The USB also has a remote to control the sound. Sound - One of the first things I listened to on the headset was a video on Facebook that was a guy writing a song with a orchestra in 10 minutes. During the video, I pushed the 7.1 button on the remote and my ears were filled with a deep and richer sound like I was in the concert hall. The sound was rich and full. I was impressed. Overall - I highly recommend this headset. I have seen people who were not happy with some of the other brands with much higher prices. Give this brand a try and you will not be disappointed.

This is my second time buying this very headset. The first I bought 3 years ago and used it for absolutely everything. It lived a rough life, and served valiantly. It's rare I'd buy the same thing twice if one gave out on me, this headset is the exception. I even chose not to upgrade to the Cloud Revolver or Flight because of how proven this headset was to me. When mine died, I wanted it back. Nothing else would do. The sound quality is great. It works great on my PS4 and PC. There's a reason this is always at the top of all the "Best Headset" google results, and the reason is build quality, sound quality, and comfort. The mic ain't too shabby either. The only negative is the virtual 7.1 isn't that great, it actually weakens directions in games, at least on PS4. The USB connection on PS4 (my setup preference) can also often be finicky, randomly muting and needing to be replugged or some such minor thing. 3.5mm to controller is flawless.

I got these headphones as a Christmas gift for my fiancé. She had previously been using my $20 pair of Turtle Beach headphones and I wanted to get her an upgrade. These are superior in almost every way. Decent bass response. Excellent clarity in the mid and high range. And they’re much more comfortable. The cushioning is enough for these to be noise canceling. The only drawback is that the mic is a little like a walkie-talkie—not in a distracting way though. I hardly think about it when we play games together. She mainly uses them for console gaming and talking over Discord on her Chromebook. These are a fantastic upgrade from a cheaper pair with noticeably better quality in almost every area. I’d definitely recommend trying to get them on sale, but they’re absolutely perfect for what we need.

Excellent fit, lightweight, comfortable, relatively breathable. Excellent sound quality, mix works well. Highly recommended.

The aluminum frame for these headsets make it light so it does no strain your head/neck as some stiffer headsets do. The sound quality is superb while comfortable wearing. The interchangeable ear muffs on them also give you a choice of of you want to wear them.

Having EXTENSIVELY researched headsets, I settled on the Cloud II's for many good reasons. Even compared to the HyperX Cloud Revolvers (the more expensive pair) these come out way on top. First of all, it comes with an amplifier control box that hooks up plain and simple that offers 7.1 surround sound for your console or PC; just hooks up via USB. It even comes with interchangeable ear cups which initially have the leather pads installed but can be easily swapped out for the cloth ones (which I'm using now). Following this detail, this headset DOES NOT have mic monitoring which was a feature I was very used to having with my headset prior but having used the cloth ear cups allows me to hear myself talk so I'm not screaming due to the noise isolation quality leather cups. Overall, the headset is very comfortable, easy to set up and even looks great. 100% would recommend to anyone who's looking for an amazing quality headset for their console or even PC

After purchasing (and returning) several, more expensive headsets. I decided to give one last shot to the Hyper X Cloud pro II. Finally! I found a great product that works equally well on my PS4, XBox one, Gaming PC and tablet. The sound is great. Adequate bass and crisp highs. The virtual surround is above average, better than the RIG 800 set I brought back. The mic compression is top notch. Listeners hear my voice, not all of the ambient noise or feedback, regardless of how loud I turn them up. I love the individual mic and volume controls for PC. I only wish it worked for consoles or tablets, but that is asking a lot for less than $100. The cups are comfortable as they are or with the soft alternative sleeve. They fit great on my big head and don't pinch my large ears. Even The packaging is on par with far more expensive products. Great purchase, I would recommend them to everyone.

I got this headset off of a recommendation from my brother. I was in the market for a new headset but did not want to spend more then I needed to. I am an avid gamer so I wanted something comfortable, lightweight, breathable, and above all, had great sound. The Cloud II's have all that for just under $100. Not only that, but they look great in black/red. The leather cups look nice, but I cannot use them because of how hot they get. The plush, on the other hand, are perfect. They breath and still look good. Unfortunately, after about four months the right headphone stopped working. I contacted Kingston and immediately got a replacement set. Literally, within the week I had a new set and they are based in Cali, I am in New Jersey. So excellent product backed by an excellent customer service! What more can you need? My only complaint is that you cannot use the sound card on anything other then PC. I knew this going in so I can't take a star away for that.

I was looking for quality headset that is light weight, sturdy, and has soft padding (not made of synthetic material) in the band. The sound is great, and offers surround sound. Besides multiple great tech features they feel good on the head for long periods of time.
