HyperX Cloud Earbuds IISoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve
Measured frequency response (dB relative) against the SoundGuys Headphone Preference Curve. When the measurement goes above the dashed line, that frequency is louder than our preference curve, and when it goes below: it's quieter. Use the curve for comparison purposes only, as your taste may vary.

The verdict
The HyperX Cloud Earbuds II aim to be an on-the-go option for handheld gaming enthusiasts, but unfortunately, due to their poor acoustic noise isolation, they're not practical to use on the bus or train. They are serviceable as an at-home pair of earbuds, however.
