Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was looking for a gaming headset for my laptop but also one that I could use ocasionally on my xbox if needed to. A bestbuy store sales rep showed me these and said that he even bought a pair for a friend and that they sounded like headphones $200+ or better. I was skeptical at first but then I tried them out and did I was impressed. You get a lot of bang for your buck with these. It has 7.1 surround which works better than I expected. The sound is very clear and not muffled. It has a usb remote to connect to the PC with volume, and mix volume controls. ( I only wished it had a mute button on the remote) It will work with all other consoles like XB one, ps4, etc. I have a $160 pair of turtle beach headphones that were made for XB One and these Hyper X headsets are by far better, clearer, and more accurate sounding. The removable Mic was a must for me which is great. Also it came with different ear pads that had one pair with the vinyl and the other with a suede type material. I swapped it to the suede material which was way more comfortable for longer wear to me. Also a nice touch was a bag/pouch to keep the accessories and the headsets in.

I owned an original Hyper X Cloud for 3 years before I broke it (dropped it one too many times). Tried to upgrade to a Razer Kracken X and the sound quality was akin to that of $5 earbuds from a gas station. I decided to buy what I knew, and HyperX did not disappoint. The build quality is kept at the same high standards as the original. The padding is soft and comfortable and the headset can be worn for hours without any discomfort. The sound quality is fantastic for the price, and can definitely be used for mixed media outside of gaming. For FPS players, footsteps and directional sound are crystal clear. My friends say my voice sounds great, but you'll want to increase the dB level of the mic output since its fairly quiet out of the box. The inline controls are nice to have, and the Surround Sound feature works well but I personally enjoy these headphones without it.

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.

HyperX headphones never fail to satisfy me, pause. Jokes aside these are my second pair of headphones and the sound quality and bass while playing are spectacular. Comfortability is also good even for long playing times, they are light and the ear foams are soft, even when wearing glasses they are comfortable. The mic quality is also really good!

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.

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.

It’s not an audiophile’s headset, but for gaming, it hits the target. Good sound coming from different directions helps in FPS games. I made in-game adjustments to get excellent sound to pinpoint direction and distance from targets. Definitely a step up from the original Cloud headset. It’s comfortable with the leatherette cushions. The fabric cushions breath, but make the area around my ear itch after long use.

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.

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 headphones are fantastic. Super comfortable with two different pad styles. I use these for both gaming and for music off of my s8. The build quality is top notch and I expect these to last for years. The removable microphone was a big sales point. And it works exactly as designed.

I have a fat head, so unfortunately the plastic braces on the headset that holds the earmuffs to the headband crack and break overtime, would be better if those were metal, like aluminum or something. Otherwise it has fantastic sound, everything else about it is durable, and the little button that bumps it to the simulated 7.1 makes a considerable difference in sound quality in my opinion. Pairs great with dolby atmoss software, and the mic audio is great as well!

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.

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$

These headphones have a great rich dynamic sound to them. They're excellent quality (headphones and cord). The pricing is fantastic given the quality... These are comparable to $300 sets... Only one real con.... they're tight on the head... Which, if you have a small head that's probably not a big deal.... But, it would be nice if the tension could be adjusted... Still - these are great!

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.

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.

The sound is great and they are extremely comfortable to wear for a long time. I haven't tried the cloth ear support pieces yet, but it does come with an extra set which is handy. Compared to the Razer Man'owar I bought for my SO, these seem superior in quality and at a cheaper price.

These are hands down the best headset I’ve ever tried. I got these originally in 2021, and they still work as brand new. The sound quality is very high, and they don’t bother at all after being on your head for long periods of time. The cable is also very long. The only inconvenience is that 7.1 doesn’t sound that accurate for gaming, but it’s still pretty good for listening to music and watching movies. Overall, these are the best headphones in this price range.

I got this headset for my 16 yr. Old son. He absolutely loves them! He originally wanted the razer kraken's which is what he was replacing because those too are a quality headset for the price. He takes care of his things so they last quite awhile but his right ear speaker failed on them. I asked him if he was sure if he wanted the same headset and he said they were really good and lasted along time so he was hesitant to switch. I told him to not worry about the price difference so he searched some more and found these! He is very happy he did so far. He says that they are better all around the sound and the microphone and overall construction. So if you are in the fence about spending a lil more on these than you were looking to spend go for it they are worth every penny!
