Kingston launched a gaming headphone Hyper X Cloud 2 which is surprisingly good and got rave reviews from customers. Many professional gamers rated these headphones as a great affordable option for professional gaming. The Cloud 2 headphones from the company retained the cozy style and design with added 7.1 surround sound system. One of the greatest features of these headphones is the comfort. However, the lack of a customization option is one thing that may not satisfy some of the hardcore gamers. Invest in high-value hyper x cloud ii to get the best return on your investment. 

Design

The attractive and simple design of Hyper X Cloud 2 makes it one of the most decent gaming headphones available in the market today. They are complete back headphones with leather coated ear cups with metal forks on either side. These forks allow earcups to be adjusted one inch up or down for better fit. The top of the earcups has an attractive logo of Hyper X.

The mic offered by cloud 2 extends to 6 inches which is decent enough for pro gaming. The coil is large and is highly flexible with a detachable microphone. It does have an additional USB sports control dongle which controls the volume, 7.1 surround sound, and mute the mic. 

Gaming Performance

The audio output of these gaming earphones is great. However, the surround sound system is a bit weak and will not able to satisfy professional gamers. At the given price the quality of sound that is offered is great and makes them one of the best headphones that you can get. These headphones were tested on different games and there were a lot of pros and cons in different aspects. However, all in all, considering the basic stuff the headphones are great to meet all the demands. The bass-heavy boom for some games was enough while for some game it seemed to lack a bit. 

Apart from the volume control and surround sound there is very little you can do from the dongle. There’s no third-party software attached and thus you won’t be able to create your sound profiles. 

Multimedia Performance

Listening to music on Cloud 2 is a great experience. The vocals are crisp and clear. The bass was distinct and surround sound although not impactful but does make a difference to the way one listens to the sound. His songs do become a bit muddy when the voice is cranked up. 

These headphones are a great option for the price they are offered in. You’ll find every satisfying thing and will be able to have a professional gameplay experience.
