The verdict

The list of negatives far outweighs the positives when it comes to the HyperX Cloud Buds Wireless. The lack of a companion app, poor fit with minimal isolation, and uneven sound are simply unacceptable for wireless earbuds—no matter the price. Stay away from the HyperX Cloud Buds, these earbuds are stuck in a time we're desperately trying to forget.
