Comfortable for very longs periods, and lasted a good 5 years for me. (Except the mic pop filter.) Audio quality not stellar but never bad. Very solid headphones.

The HyperX Cloud II Wireless was an experiment in how little you need to change something to make it feel fresh. Did it pan out?
Would buy it again; has stopped using it.

below average for gaming headsets — based on 85 of 150 we've cataloged.
2.4GHZ appears on 26% of the 206 gaming headsets we've cataloged (of 150).
The verdict
The HyperX Cloud II Wireless, aka Cloud 2 Wireless, is carried by how good its predecessor is, and shows just how far nailing the basics will get you. It feels a little lean for a 50% markup, but this is still a great wireless gaming headset.
✓Liked: Comfortable, Great audio, Great battery life
✕Could be better: Not that different from the wired Cloud 2, Average mic, No headphone jack for wired listening
What a reader who owns the HyperX Cloud II reports after living with it. Owner-reported, checked before publishing; ordered photo-verified first, then newest.
Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
