No background noise, Mic works great and its nice that it's detachable! Over the ear is very comfortable blocks out noise very well!! Cord is nice and long and its nice that the cord is braided material so it doesn't bend and break easy. Usb audio box is amazing and very useful!

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.

I was searching for a USB headset for work because they required I use a USB specifically because of security reasons or something like that. I thought it was pretty stupid since USBs are dying out. The headset they had given me for work was utter garbage and broke second day in training. I had to find a last minute solution and ran to my nearest Best Buy. Although this is a relatively pricy headset, it was the only one available for under $200.
Although the reason I got them was a very irritating situation, I absolutely love these headphones and use them frequently. The mic is relatively clear (obviously not studio quality) and the sound is pretty great. It seems like the company integrated the most bang for your buck for an under $200 headset. The cord is extremely long, which is fantastic when I'm at work pacing around. It lets me walk at least double the distance from my computer than my normal earbuds do.
A former roommate of mine has the exact same headset and it has lasted her for at least 2 years. If you're looking for a specifically USB headset, this one is great for the price.

These headphones are the real deal. Bang for your buck on a wired pair these can't be beaten. The virtual 7.1 surround sound is phenomenal. I use these for my PSVR setup and they are super comfortable even with the VR headset on for extended gaming sessions. Having the mic capable of being on or off is a nice feature as well.

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.

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.

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 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.

Great headset, but not fancy

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!

The best headset on the market

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.

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!

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.
